ANTM and Tyra Banks truly changed reality TV for the better! Who else was gutted when they announced that it wasn't coming back for more cycles?!
Look at Tyra being fierce.
But then... new information was released that it's coming back! Tyra won't be hosting but she'll still serve as the executive producer! Rita Ora will be the host AND a judge on the new season.
Rita Ora? Can she even come close to being as amazing as Tyra?! Does she even know how to smize?!
ANTMhad over 100 contestants, dozens of photographers and guest judges. It only makes sense that there would be drama and scandals after 12 years!
But you won't believe what's happened with some of these contestants, and even the judges!
1. NOBODY goes against Tyra! Angelea Preston — the winner of cycle 17 — was disqualified and nobody knew why! Angelea ended up exposing ANTM and Tyra! Angelea said that they took the prizes from her after they found out she used to be an escort!
Tyra was apparently furious when she found out Angelea told the media this!
2. It's been years but Angelea still holds a grudge! She recently called out Tyra in the media. She said, "I used to admire Tyra so much. I wanted to be like her. I don't want to be like her now." Ouch! Someone needs to put ice on that burn.
Angelea also exposed that contestants were weren't allowed to eat, drink or talk until called upon for filming.
3. Jael Strauss's life went completely downhill after ANTM. Her addiction to meth left her homeless. Her family was so concerned that they staged an intervention and called in Dr. Phil for help!
Unfortunately, she refused the help and nobody knows what's happened to her!
4. Renee Alway from cycle 8 was sentenced 12 years in prison after she plead guilty to several felonies — including four for burglary, one for vehicle theft and one for being in possession of a firearm!
5. CariDee English won cycle 7 of ANTM but then slammed Tyra and the show after! She said she regrets being on the show because she wasn't taken seriously in the modeling industry. She even said she tried to reach out to Tyra, but Tyra never returned any of her phone calls!
Tyra is not looking after her girls?! What?! But she says that she always wants to help them after the show is over!
6. Tyra fired Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander from the show in 2012. She gave no explanation, but the guys were furious! Apparently, she just said that the show didn't need them anymore.
Um, Tyra. This show always needs the Jays and Nigel. The Jays provide sage advice and Nigel provides the hot looks! Come on!
7. Yu Tsai was the new creative director after Mr. Jay was fired from the show and people did NOT like him. Yu kept calling Chantelle Brown-Young from cycle 21 a "panda." Chantelle suffers from vitiligo!
She kept telling him not to call her that anymore and he refused. He said it was a positive nickname. Uh... I think we need to review what a nickname is supposed to be.
8. An oldie but a goodie. This one is truly iconic. Remember when Tyra completely lost it at Tiffany Richardson in season 4 because apparently she didn't care enough about being eliminated?
"I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this... I was rooting for you. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!" Just write this on my tombstone, please. I want to always be with this quote.
9. Ann Ward ended up winning cycle 15 because she was a FIERCE model. But Tyra came under fire by the media when she was obsessed with Ann's waist. She kept gushing over it and people said it promoted an unhealthy body standard for young women!
Tyra even had to apologize and Tyra never apologizes! She's Tyra Banks, the world's leading expert on smizing. Why would she ever need to apologize?!
10. Way back in cycle 1, Robin Manning refused to pose nude for one photoshoot because it went against her morals. The camera didn't catch it but I'm pretty sure Tyra rolled her eyes. Tyra told her to get over it and didn't show any type of sympathy and fans were angry!
Tyra is as brutal is she is fierce. It's just who she is, y'all.
11. Ah, remember Janice Dickinson, the world's first supermodel?! She was crazy, but she brought all the fun to the show. She bashed Tyra when she left the show and said that the whole show was fake! I mean... didn't we already know that?!
She said that she wanted Kahlen to win but Tyra wanted Naima to win so her vote counted above all the judges.
12. Cycle 4 was brutal. Remember when Michelle Deighton just had a really simple skin problem but everybody blew it out of proportion and said it was a contagious flesh-eating virus attacking her face?!
People couldn't stop talking about it online and fans were angry that Michelle didn't receive medical treatment earlier!
COMMENT and tell us your favorite winner, contestant and cycle!
If you answered Tyra for all of them then we were meant to be best friends. Tyra is forever the best!
