ANTM contestant Keenyah Hill defends Tyra Banks

I wouldn't hold Tyra for the standards of the industry based on body types, if anything she definitely helped deviate from that, but she did a lot of girls dirty in many other ways. The way Yaya was treated for embracing her culture and roots was so wrong.

i mean she's kinda right. as horrible and scheming as tyra was, she was also playing the same industry games like all those girls were on the show. just because she was the judge didn't mean she wasn't being told xyz behind the scenes from the powers that be as a working model herself. 

 

she was the face of a show that perpetuated 2000s modelling standards combined with exploitative reality tv tropes of the time. of course this creates a problematic working environment

Tyra was and is just as terrible as the industry itself. Just because she was delegating and ensuring the rules were enforced from the modeling doesn't mean she's absolved from the trauma, disrespect and ridiculous photoshoots she put those women through.

 

If anything it makes things worse because as a black model who was seen as plus size in the industry, why would you perpetuate any of the beauty standards and tomfoolery that you had to abide by?

Anyways Keenyah still looks gorgeous. Cycle 4 was really one of the best and iconic Cycles.
