Geez!!!! 😳

[@vivieneckert1627]

I agree. If she was a good person and really felt bad about how she hurt the feelings of these young women and hurt their self esteem (maybe even leading them to an unhealthy lifestyle), she would apologize. That apology was ridiculous, especially since she started with "we". She blamed the industry and everyone else. She does not feel bad about the girls, only about herself.

Im 30. I was in middle and high school when ANTM was popular. I had a best friend, who was starving herself because she wanted to be a model. She wouldn't go swimming without a workout routine first. We were 16. It was so sad. She literally had a body that other girls dreamed of. That boys drooled over. I ended up telling her mom about how she was starving herself and I lost her as a friend. I hope as an adult she can see that I loved her and cared for her.

It actually was confirmed she was even worse off camera. Tiffany (the girl Tyra yelled at) confirmed that the "I was rooting for you" rant was much worse than what was aired on TV. And not to mention some of the makeovers she gave to some of the models to make them look worse afterwards just shows how insecure she is and she just has to tear someone up to look better.

I think foreigners sometimes forget that Southeast and East Asian are naturally much more petite than other ethnicities. However, the K-pop industry does go a bit far and hires only very specific facial features (or makes you get those features), which is a bigger issue in my opinion.

Millennial here: Yeah, people considered fat back in the early 2000s weren’t actually fat.

I got bullied for not having an a**, called toothpick, accused of anorexia/bulimia and other various insults making me feel that my body was disgusting despite seeing models on magazines having my body type. I understood that even though the Hollywood and fashion world appreciated my body, boys I wanted to date did not. I tried to gain muscle/weight my whole life and it's still a struggle. I'm a bit more toned but still very slim/petite. Now I'm older and realize that there are different body types and different men will appreciate them. If you're healthy and not super underweight or overweight that is the ideal. Just had to speak up for the slim girls.

And I don’t think it gets brought up enough when people tell thin black/latina women they are the beauty standard and shouldn’t feel insecure. The mainstream heroine chic standard was very inherently white while the hourglass figures have always been desirable for black and brown people. I’m indigenous passing Latina and very thin.

Judy Garland was too old for that part, that was the real problem. Dorothy in the books is about 10 years old. It’s an allegory about coming of age afterall. She was cast for her great voice but they struggled to de-age her because her adolescence filled her body out in an adult way. Hence the weird pig-tails on a 16 year old, it was trying to de-age her. Today, they’d just cast someone of the right age.

I was 5'8" at 13, and have had a big butt since that age. I'm shy about my rear end to this day. Being in high school in 2004 was *vicious*.

Tyra is 50 😂 a retired super model. Modeling back then was toxic she grew up in it what y’all expect. Big girl movement didn’t even kick in until 10 years ago.

Paris Hilton’s body in the early 2000s really was the ONLY acceptable body type. Nothing else was considered even remotely attractive. It was an awful time to be alive.

Well for white media, black media was more inclusive, and where most of my body goals formed 😂

@@WiinterKitten I want 'em real thick and Juicy So find that juicy double Mix-a-Lot's in trouble Beggin' for a piece of that bubble

[@SemekiIzuio]

​@@WiinterKittennot true black media wanted big butt wide hips big lips

[@MsCristina38]

But not for the men. None of the guys liked Paris Hilton they were more into size 6 J. Lo

[@samiam5434]

@@MsCristina38exactly!! Same goes for the blonde thing. Most men prefer an exotic Megan fox type, not a Paris Hilton or Margo Robbie …. The media pushes its bullshit but in reality it’s nothing like what they force.

1. You look gorgeous today, you are GLOWING. 2. I think Tyra started yelling at her because she expected her to get upset and make a big deal, which is what Tyra wanted. She needs drama for her show. Tyra didn't get what she wanted, so she had to create it herself. Edited because wow it made no sense lol

does anyone else feel how often encouraging and wholesome Michelle's videos are? the tiles are always harsh and clickbaity but there's so much understanding coming from her. on top of her being funny the videos always put a smile on my face bc of how nice she is

[@ash1130-_-_-]

The fact that I keep watching you when I want to bInge watch something interesting but yet get some drama combined is crazy that just goes and shows your the best KZbinr to go to when your bored or just want to watch something interesting OR your just the best KZbinr out there

[@tinkiepoo3746]

SAME!!! LOL

11:14 this is EXACTLY why I had an ED! I am in my 40s and when I was a teen I was a thicker girl. I remember watching Top Model, MTV, talk shows and being horrified that the plus size girls looked like me. It's horrible that I thought I was big, and it didn't matter what others said, if it was on TV, it must have been true. Now, this is what social media is to teens today, in terms of influence

[@sweetceya]

I’m in my mid 30s… I rember my younger cousin wanting to smell a bag a chips and watch me eat them because her size 7 self was “too fat”… and people obsessing with a thigh gap….

[@ValentinoQ]

It was on Tv for aspiring highs fashion models. She literally said her body was great for a beauty Pageant lmfao

[@aryakaz757]

Wow I was literally just about to put up the same time stamp, and talk about the same exact experience I went through in the early 2000s as a preteen/teenager. I developed a severe eating disorder (that I almost died from) when I was only 9 years old, and it was specifically because of all of the super skinny celebrities that were all over TV during this time and because of shows like ANTM, which would fat shame girls who were legitimately like size 4. I remember at the age of 15, I had this goal of fitting into this pair of 00 burgundy pants I had that was so small I would have had to get down to about 90 lb to fit into them. I'll never forget the day I reached my goal. Not only did I fit into them, but they were too big on me at that point and they were falling off of me because I had gotten down to about 80 lb, and I will never forget looking in the mirror and thinking to myself that I still felt empty inside and how I wasn't happy like I thought I would be. Thank God somebody like Tyra Banks wasn't around me constantly body shaming me and making me feel even fatter than I already felt, because that probably would have been the difference between life and death for me at that fragile and vulnerable point in my life.

[@stormkat_099]

This era was wild to live through, everyone & their mom was afraid of being fat😭
