Tyra Banks on Winnie Harlow’s ‘ANTM’ Shade: ‘I Discovered Her’ 


Telling it like it is. Tyra Banks sounded off after former America’s Next Top Model contestant Winnie Harlow said the show “didn’t do anything” for her career.

Biggest Feuds in Reality TV History

Banks, 44, responded to a caller on Thursday, November 29, while appearing on Watch What Happens Live, who inquired about Harlow’s negative comments about ANTM in May.

“Did she say that?” the supermodel asked with a confused look on her face. “I discovered her on Instagram … Well, come on, I discovered her on Instagram. And she’s on the show, so what do you think that means?”

Six months prior, Harlow, 24, told WWHL host Andy Cohen that her turn on the long-running reality hit wasn’t really much of a launching pad for her. “So I really started after the show, ‘cause that really didn’t do anything for my career. Which it doesn’t do anything for any model’s career, realistically.”

Harlow went on to say that while she thought the show would be a “career-starter,” it was more for entertainment purposes. “It was really like a reality TV show. That’s not what I signed up for.”

Supermodels: Then and Now

Banks made sure viewers know she has no ill will toward her former protégé, however. “I have nothing but love for my girls … a lot of times when people express themselves in certain ways, there’s a reason, and I will respect her confidentiality and her life, but, yeah, I have to give love to her.”

She doubled down, “They’re all my babies. Even the ones that act out.”

TV Reboots and Revivals

Harlow appeared on season 21 of the series in 2014. The show was rebooted in 2018 with Banks, who left ANTM in 2015, returning as its head judge.

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
