Supermodel Tyra Banks
Tuesday
She might be one of the top models ever today, but Tyra Banks’ road to stardom and fame was not free of struggles, especially because of her skin color and size. The supermodel-turned-talk show host has revealed that she was snubbed most of the times than other wannabes, because she did not fit in with the modeling industry’s standard perception of beauty.
“My biggest obstacle was that I was black and curvy”, Usmagazine-com quoted her, as saying. She even claimed that a number of designers blacklisted her because of her “hips and breasts”. The 34-year-old revealed that modeling bosses tried to convince her mother to put her on a diet, but she refused. “My mother told me the whole thing as we were walking down the street in Milan,” Banks said. “My mother said, ‘they say you are too curvy. Let us go order pizza.’ We walked into a pizzeria, and we discussed a career change”, Tyra Banks added.
