She’s being genuinely transparent and trying to offer another apology. Her answer is long because she’s giving context and showing she’s not skating past the issue and redirecting the issue. Blackface is a big mistake. That was not her intent but she understands the implications. She’s offering a big apology. I totally get it and respect her for it.

She needed to, she’s explaining a huge talking point and controversy about the show.

[@rachelramsey1732]

She talked about everything but the meat of the issues

[@mzvictory8164]

rachel ramsey the meat of the issue is that Tyra was one of few women of color in the modeling agency who started working from a young age. People were often mean to her and very critical. She internalized a lot of the verbal trauma and became verbal to others because of her pain. She looked back on the episodes of a project she created and saw flaws that she was unable to see while she was inside of the moment. She apologized. She’s human like you and I. Chill out. Nobody is perfect.

It's unreasonable to think that Tyra should have been 20 years ahead of her time in 2003 and should have created a show that aligns with the social values of several years in the future. SO much has changed - rapidly. When you know better, you do better. It's worth noting that the real modeling industry was far more backwards at the time than anything that was shown on Top Model. She is correct when she says that the show was pushing boundaries back then. You guys just forget. Some of you probably weren't even born. Tyra is just a person like the rest of us and she would't make the same show today.

[@Hokit]

Watching ANTM now makes you see it differently than back in the early 2000s. It was a different world then; conversations and sensitivities about race, gender and identity weren't yet embedded in the mainstream like they are nowadays. While tackling social issues head-on wasn't necessarily ANTM's bread-and-butter, the show did bring them into the spotlight in a way that resonated with viewers at the time. Its tone-deaf and WTF moments should be criticised and used in every 'lessons learnt'. But at the same time, its role in helping push these sensitivities into mainstream awareness should be acknowledged, even if it was a byproduct rather than a modus operandi.

[@user-mc9vp9nr2q]

Tyra literally “apologized” before by saying “sorry if anyone THINKS this is blackface, sorry if you’re too ignorant to understand art” and she completely dodged that in this interview.

[@Commentator541]

Well she was right. I mean it’s obviously bot blackface as that is a way to ridicule Africans, while this was celebrating inclusivity so people should get a grip and realize that the hate they feel is their problem, and not a reality of what the show was portraying.

[@bushkin54]

Commentator541 as a black person, I will say that she tried to celebrate colour- however, my colour is not a fashion statement. I have no hate towards anyone and I appreciate that she realised her mistake, but there’s image issues that a lot of young girls go through that isn’t widely spoken about enough, which causes people to be unaware that it exists. I think the photo shoot she’s talking about was quite tone deaf in that sense. Her intension was definitely pure but she definitely went about it the wrong way.

From my understanding the producers had way more to do with what is portrayed and shown editing wise when it comes to the show than she did. Tyra is the face of the show but even Nigel said in his exit that Tyra has nothing to do with the judges contracts leading me to believe that she’s not fully in charge. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries about reality tv and 9/10 scorned cast members say after their exit that the producers run, pay for, and are the deciding factors of everything that goes on. Even though Tyra is named as an executive producer, the real decisions are made by the networks and who is financing the show which was not her. Not arguing, just sharing what I’ve learned

[@nadinekeating3255]

While Tyra comes on this show, smiling, laughing, talking about how to be a good person, and treating others properly, etc... *SOME* of us know better. We *know* Tyra loves to put on an act. I'm 34 years old, I've watched ANTM from the first season, and I watched her talk show (the Tyra Show). Someone I went to school with was actually a guest on the Tyra Show (her, her boyfriend and her mother). All three of them said she was so nice and sweet to them while the camera was rolling...but during breaks she was rude and demanding to her guests and staff. She tried saying something to Tyra during a break and Tyra just looked at her as if to say "did I ask you to speak to me" and just continued to ignore her. Tyra didn't shake their hands, thank them for coming on, or speak at all after the camera was off and was just all around a VERY rude, VERY intitled person! And anyone can look for this yourself. There are HUNDREDS of stories about people and their negative interactions with Tyra... This isn't just a "mistake" Tyra made...it's OBVIOUSLY just how she is...it's her personality. That many different people can't have the same experience with the same person and it just be a fluke or a bad day for Tyra.

Instead, she stuck them in 20 degree freezing rooms with barely anything on, pushed girls who were uncomfortable posing intimately with a man, yelled at girls for not crying after they have been eliminated, and made them read complicated texts so they could publicly mock them. Yeah, TyTy trying to say she "evolved" with the times? What a joke. All the examples I listed above is something a human with common decency would have not done. Tyra loved publically humiliating and making the girls uncomfortable in any way she could. She is a raging insecure narcissist that couldn't help lashing out her insecurities and struggles on others.

[@KevenTalks]

I think Tyra is someone who went through a lot of "edits" in her appearance, presentation, and behavior to become a supermodel, a star, and a mogul. So a lot of ANTM was about her trying to coach these girls into being malleable - and teaching them it's a business where you have to cater to it to excel. Now she's getting backlash for essentially having that "corporate mentality." It's tough. I respect her hustle, but I also am a typical millennial who thinks the old school corporate mentality has to fade out. Regardless, I respect that she did what she had to to persevere. There's a beauty to the fact that my generation & Gen Z are saying, "enough's enough - we're changing the rules."

I get what you're saying. Tyra was one of the models who changed the perspective of the modeling industry when it comes to black women inclusion along with Naomi she should have stuck to that and not trying to take away from another black girl and telling her she's too much because Tyra has been there and she should have been the voice of change Yaya and all the other black girls needed the world to hear.
