Tyra Banks has reflected on her infamous on-air clash with America’s Next Top Model contestant Tiffany Richardson, admitting she “lost it” over Richardson’s reaction to being eliminated from the competition.
Richardson competed on ANTM’s fourth cycle in 2005, quickly emerging as a favourite with viewers and judges alike — particularly Banks, who would go on to host the show for 23 seasons. But after the aspiring model was eliminated, Banks unleashed an infamous on-air tirade, accusing her of having a “bad attitude” and not taking the competition seriously.
