Model and reality television star Tyra Banks has confessed to fans she’s nothing like her America’s Next Top Model “character”, confessing she invented an alter-ego to score better ratings.
The beauty launched the reality TV competition show in 2003 and has since developed a reputation as a confident and sassy pioneer in the modelling industry, but Banks insists it’s all an act for the cameras – because she’s shy and insecure in real life.
Speaking during CNN’s U.S. TV special Dinner with the Kings, which aired on Sunday (04Dec11), she said, “When I did my show, created my show or whatever, I also created a persona on Top Model. And it’s a character. So when I’m sitting there and I have all this make-up on, and I’m like, ‘Your picture’s not fierce…’ talking all that and reprimanding the girls, that is a character.
“I don’t do that, like, in real life; I’m passive aggressive. I’m anti-confrontational; I’m even in coaching to learn how to be confrontational.
“So it’s a character, but people think it’s real. I’m so not sexy. I know how to turn it on for a picture but I’m not sexy in real life.”

Not really being confrontational, I don’t buy it. Being that hyper, uber annoying, attention whore; I hope that is a fake personality

For real, Tyra is down to earth. Let’s not forget she used to date Chris Webber…

I would rather see that down to Earth person on ANTM than the persona she uses. She makes me want to punch my dog half the time acting like that.

lmao so weird the way she sooo super happy every day i bet if a bird used her forehead as a landing pad she would be happy yaaaay lol lol lol
You would be super happy too if you were making the money she makes to record that show. It’s all about the Benjamins and folks are consumed with it, so much so that many have sold their souls to the devil to have it.
Very easy to do when you dont have a relationship with God. I said RELATIONSHIP, NOT A CASUAL AQUAINTENCE!
