I Reveal a Lot on The Tyra Show
I reveal a lot of myself on The Tyra Show. It's funny because a lot of people didn't really know my personality when I was modeling. I was talking to my friends the other day, and they were telling me what a lot of people thought I was like BEFORE the talk show started. My friends said some people thought I was quiet. Some people thought I was a diva. And some people just had no clue what I was truly about at all. They just knew that I modeled. It's funny because when you are inside of yourself, you think that everyone can tell who you are and what you are about. But that is soooo not true. Looking back, I can see how people may not have known what I was truly about. I mean, I spent over half my life modeling which is a job where you are seen WAYYYYY more than you are heard. I gotta tell you that it feels really good to be heard now. To speak and to have an opinion and to have a show that lets so many other people's opinions be heard is the best feeling in the world. Everyday that I do the talk show, I feel so blessed to be able to have people be heard.
I'll let you in on a little secret. Sometimes on the show, I may be going thru a really rough time in my personal life, but that particular episode of the talk show might not be the best time for me to discuss it. One big part of the talk show is about healing and helping others and yeah, sometimes it's about me healing myself too - but there's a time and a place for that. I can't be talking about myself or crying about my own drama all the time on the show. You all would be sooo over that!

You had did this one show where 3 girls felt like ugly betty and they switched roles with the 3 girls they were jealous of. I understand you were doing this to make the other girls feel better about themselves as well as making the beautiful girls know that they are still who they are with all the "ugly" makeup on.
In my opinion I would be extremely angry at the person for taking me on that show and I would never put anyone in that position. I'm not the most beautiful, but I would not take anyone I was jealous of on the show. I think that the makeover was good because they got to experience being beautiful. My niece had saw the show and told me that I would be the one she would choose to switch places with. I was angry that she had even thought of that. I would of liked this show more if it only involved the makeover for the so-called "ugly" girls. It's just real annoying that those girls just had to make the "beautiful" girls feel bad about themselves when they never rubbed their beauty in the "ugly" girls face. This show just really annoyed me that the "beautiful" girls had to go through something they didn't really deserve. It was good that you did the whole ugly thing to make the beautiful girls feel more comfortable, but I just really needed to express my feelings about this show.
And another thing is that...I truly did not believe that Lisa didn't feel ugly. It felt more like she only wanted to come on the show for a makeover. Also...she did seem like she was jealous of Brittney, but taking Brittney on the show was some sort of "revenge" for winning all the pagents. Lisa was the most annoying.

hi tyra,
on one side you say "so what" and on the other hand you throw plus size girls out of the ANTM competition.then you make an anorexic looking thin girl america's next top model(i don't want to say her name).don't you think that this is hypocrisy.
what exactly are you promoting.

Tyra,
I just wanted to thank you for giving me inspiration to be comfortable with myself. Thank you for giving me the confidence to embrace my curves. Alot of people believe you have to be thin to be beautiful. But I'm a plus size woman that very beautiful. And I am proud of it. Thanks to you I can walk with my head held high. I love you Tyra!!!!!

Also no matter what size you are or your trying to become all women should embrace their voluptuouness. I just felt compelled to share this with your journal. Keeping it real from Alecia.

Since you are revealing one of my favorite all time actors/singer tommorow. I just would like to say where ever Janet may be in the world to "Let her Voluptuouness Take Over the World"

Your show really is really good, but I don;t think people would be tired of hearing about your personal life, I wouldn't. I think it could only make you even more real and relate-able to people than you are now. Your fans LOVE you and would never get tired of anything you have to say!

Domestic Violence
How we fall in love, but love is so blind and our hearts fall in love.
Love can not separate us; as if we had committed ourself to death do us apart.
Why can’t we see the truth?
Our face and body has taken a beating.
We call the police and forgive one another afterwards.
We fall deep asleep with our body bruised and our broken heart without a beat.
PS When you hear your neighbor yelling, do not ignore the yell. You may be able to save the neighbor’s life. Victims of domestic violence do they die of natural causes? I never knew her but domestic violence is here.

Dear Tyra,
I first wanted to say that i absolutely love your show, i know you probably get that a lot ;)
I just watched the Teenville episode, and it really got to me
im 15 years old and from a small town, and to see teens just like me, think the same as me and also different was incredible to me. I have never ever been told to hate anybody for their skin, nor have i been told to love them. It has been like normal for me to see people as they are; people. I couldn't believe how some people could just say by looking at a black man or a bigger person, that the first thing that would pop in there head was i cant marry you because you're different than me. Isn't that what America is all about? To see black people having to be garbage men and theives and a bigger girl be a homeless person was appauling.I didn't think that all teens thought like that, so seriously and strong in there opinions. I don't know, it was just the most interesting episode i have watched and i caught myself talking to the T.V. (cause im a kook like that) with my opinions ;)
thank you for a great episode,it really opened my eyes. like i said this comment probably doesnt even matter but i just felt like getting my point of view out there =]
thanks for reading,
Savannah

Dear Tyra,
Keep up the great work. You're reaching lots of people with your sincerity...even me, who is hard to reach sometimes. I like the topics you choose. There are many people out there who don't fit into the mainstream and I think you handle showing those aspects of society really well. Keeping it real is the way to go!
Many thanks...

Hey Tyra, I am such a big fan of yours. I love how you can just open up to people. I feel like i cant open up to anybody.From the time I was 11 - 13, I was abused by my dad till this day it is hard for me to have a healthy relationship with any men. I just feel like my dad is someone i should of been able to trust and he hurt me more then one way so who can I really trust. I never shared my story with anybody, but I feel like it is time and you are the only one that I would like to tell.I have to go to court against my dad in october and i am scaird to death. I havent been able to see any of my dads side of the family since this has happened and if i do i can go to jail for it. I am also a ward the state until i am 21 because the abuse was so bad. He abused me sexually and physically.. I ended up pregnet by him at the age of thirteen, i had to have an abortion and since there was so much damage my doctor told me that i most likely wont be able to have kids from it. My dad still is not in jail from this yet. How am I suppose to have a normal relationship if everytime i am alone with a guy i think they are going to do the same thing as my dad. I dont like to open up to people cause i dont want them to know the real me cause i am scaird they will judge me or make fun of me, even though its not my fault. Right now i am with a great guy that knows what happened and he sticks by me 100% but sometimes i find myself taking the anger i have for my dad out on him and i dont want to push him away what am i suppose to do? PLEASE HELP ME TYRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the fact that u reveal yourself in your show. That u r not afraid to show who u r. Sometimes it's not as easy. Sometimes i'm not to happy about the way i look. i feel like people don't look at me like i'm pretty or they don't see me as somebody they can love. I wish i can be like u and fearless about showing people me the way i am.

tyra one of the things that i like about you is when i saw you and watched for 10 or so minutes i instantly thought i could tell you everything about me, which is weird because i dont talk much about my life to anyone. to be honest i've only seen 1 of your episodes and it was with the russian women and the american men.if there were more people like you from where i come from there would be alot less blood. keep doin what your doin...your awesome at it [if it helps...i wouldn't tell opreh nothin]
