Is Fat Tyra Banks Making Fat the New Sexy?


Photos come from her February, 2007 Vanity Fair Magazine layout


Tyra Banks has gained weight. Year over year stats currently stand on the plus side @ around 30lbs, but Tyra remains unfazed. I still think she wants to become Oprah, so she can get a piece of Oprah's $1.5 billion. I don't know about you guys, but I would put on 100lbs to add around $500mil to my networth---that's a pretty damn good lb:dollar ratio! So w/ that in hand, I've decided to support Tyra w/ this new career move. Enough bullshitting from our end; let's hear what people are saying...

First, we'll allow Tyra to chime in...

I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, ‘Damn! [Tyra tells People Magazine via Yeeeah.com]




Basically what I'm saying is that Tyra has a big fat ass now to go with enormous boobiage and I love every minute of it. [Beans on the Bastardly Forums]




She must have lost weight since those pictures were taken, because she was straight-up fat then. She's not as bad now, but I bet that if she lost the wig she'd also lose a good 25lbs. [Michael K @ Dlisted]

fat tyra? this is NOT fat tyra. i've seen pictures of her about 30 lbs heavier than this.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 1:38am

Ya, these aren't really anything. I think they were taken back in her modeling days & are finally surfacing.

These are from last week:

Not 30 lbs heavier, 30 lbs sexier!!!

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 5:45am

she is SEXY not fat!!!!

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 7:29am

I thinks Tyra is beautiful depsite her five head.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 9:55am

what the fuck did her comment about 'not going to see me coming out of a club at 2am with my weave falling off' have to do with anything? is she trying to convey that shes classy and clean or something? this bitch is DISGUSTING, and not just because shes fat. i saw some web clips of her talk show and all she does is make a fool of herself and talk about poop how she farts all the time, seriously.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 4:26pm

FAT ? I guess since bones is the new thing maybe thats called fat , but she looks like a normal girl to me , and i think that thats so sad that the society we live in today focuses so much on weight ....and then they wonder why we have modles straving themselves and dying around the world ....HELLO wake up !!!! she looks good .

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 5:49pm

if she weighed 350lbs i'd still jump on her, just to say i had sex with tyra banks. she looks awesome now that she's a healthy weight, instead of an anorexic skank like all these other two steps from death models and actresses.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 6:10pm

she's got some smart as a fox advisor. the fatsuit makes her more likeable by the rubes in the sticks. she's more accessible when she's less than perfect. I guarantee you that if she looses the weight she'll go back to getting nothing but modeling offers. she's going to have to stay 30 pounds overweight if she wants a chance at the view, the today show or regis and tyra. The standards are different when you leave fantasy and join the real world and being perfect in the real world is a liability. perfect people are thought of as airheaded idiots in the real world. perfect people don't read the news. did you ever see that show with hugh hefner's playmate girlfriends? they don't really look normal when they walk into supermarkets do they? they only look normal when they film them doing pictorials. I can't believe that Tyra Banks figured it out 1st, but she did.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 8:46pm

ya, before she was catering to a market who wanted skinny-skinny-skinny

now...all she's trying to win the hearts & purses of fat-america.

go tyra.

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 @ 10:18pm

I've got to say.. Tyra has a face and a bone structure thatlooks beautiful at ANY weight. She can pull off skinny, she can pull off heavy. The tabloid photos of her were unflattering, but a lot of that has to do with the poor quality and lighting. Also, the slightly peeved expression on her face in the "fat" swimsuit pictures.

Whatever. Weight never hurt a beautiful woman.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 12:21am

well said Sullen Girl

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 4:00am

Tyrs looks beautiful. African American women have curves! She is the image of beauty in our community. Full hips, plump breast, and a beautiful face. So what if she gained weight. Find something else to discuss and get off of her back. All I have to say is you look fabulous Tyra, inside and out.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 1:59pm

FIANCE you revealed your ignorance by disrespecting African Americans and referring to us as NEGGARS (?) and COLORED (who says that in 2007?). Get a dictionary before you criticize people. Please remember that these celebrities are humans just like us and they have feelings. Their careers are just that, their jobs, what does that have to do with who they are? What does Oprah have to do with Tyra gaining a little weight? African Americans still can't catch a break, "The White Man'" still "trying" to bring us down. Please remember that your comments don't lessen their paychecks at all. I bet they are laughing all the way to the bank!

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 2:09pm

hahahahaha alright lets get real now.

first of all tyra banks looks better then any of you sittin there writin them ignorant tabloids anyway so you shouldnt be talkin. What? you tryin to put her down because u got some insecurities? becuz your "fat"?
I'd rather see her "lard" then these other models BONES. Atleast she doesnt make me wanna go re eat my lunch everytime i look at her. AND so what? just because she got healthy and comfortable we need to sit here and plaster her name everywhere saying ignorant stuff embarrisin her and makin her feel like crap? Makin it a big deal it aint even any of our buisness anyway. Who cares? Because so far thats the only thing you got on Tyra Banks is her weight. Thats the only thing you can come up with about her to try to shoot her and shes not stupid she aint buyin it.
If the girl wanted to she could kick her booty into tip top shape in a matter of months and be the bangin girl with the hottest body you ever seen and you would all be speechless with your foot in your mouth. Anyway you KNOW she still looks good and you all know you would kill to have her face. You should be thankful we got young ladies lookin up to her as a kind caring funny giving HEALTHY human being then these skinny lookin bimbos who walk around all stupid only care about themselves and do nothin and still are considered celebrities. Its such a shame a good women and human bein like her is gettin slammed for and made fun of and the girl didnt even do nothin to nobody. It goes to show you how cruel and discusting humans can be. Its all JEALOUSY. She dont need to listen to you your a NOBODY. You can't even hold a candle to TYRA BANKS. Im celebratin her weight. Girls love her and wanna be her. Deal with it. Cuz you'll never come up with anything to hold her down.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 2:26pm

oh and GABRIELLE quit cryin man. I mean i got nothin against you and i feel for you. But "The white men tryin to bring us down" girl like you said this is year 2007 you got more provided to you then anything i ever seen. At my school african americans get to eat for FREE. WHile us white people have to pay for our lunch no matter what. You act like before every white men goes to work he has to make it his #1 priority to bring down african americans. Don't take this the wrong way but a lot of white people dont even care about african americans like that. That way meaning you go about your buisness and we go about ours. I got african american friends who i love and love me back. So quit playin that card man its gettin old. You need to open your eyes and look at it through a white persons prospective also and why we think the way we think and do the things we do and say the things we say. Drive around and look at the world. Its rough on both ends. BUT I DO agree with you on the whole "N" word thing. Thats a horrible thing of the past and thats just not right to disrespect like that its stupid cold hearted and not nessacary. But i als dont like to be called a cracker and that bein okay also. Anyway- just kno this is my opinion my intenstions are good and you have a nice day.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 2:44pm

Ah, people age, deal with it. She was quite a looker when she was young though.

Sunday, January 28th, 2007 @ 11:40pm

Tyra Banks is ugly with her ugly blue eyes. I saw her at the beginning of Coyote ugly. I thought she acted stupid and looked ugly as hell dancing around. And licking ketchup off her finger, that was nasty. Good thing she was only in the beginning of that movie because she would have ruined that movie if people would have had to have stared at her ugliness any longer.

Monday, January 29th, 2007 @ 6:43pm

Still sexy.

Monday, January 29th, 2007 @ 11:01pm

First I would like to say that Tyra retired from modeling about a year ago. Second, I personally feel that regardless of the number on the scale, Tyra is an entertaining talk show host and a good role model. Who really cares how thin or fat she is?

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007 @ 7:39pm

no matter what happens to tyra banks, she is one of the hottest women to walk the face of the earth. her little wieght only made her hotter and i think shed be fine if she even gained 10 or so more pounds. let that booty keep growin baby. o yea, gabrielle, I AM THE WHITE MAN, and i can only bring you down if you let me. dumb ass.

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007 @ 11:01pm

What the Fuck??

It is a said thing in this world when someone who is a very healthy weight according the bmi chart is considered fat in a nation where the majority of people are technically overweight according to the same chart!! Again! what the fuck??? I suppose that the ideal images that are created by the media (for lack of a better place to blame) and pencil thin ugly sluts who look like deformed Russian fetuses has made us feel that to be beautiful, one must be at least like 25 lbs underweight! The confused messages of what is apparently beautiful and what reality is is just fucked up and simply does not make sense! I think that we just need to make Healthy what is beautiful and tell the deformed Russian fetuses to go to hell! Besides those who are underweight to the point of being sickly will die off soon anyway as they are not strong and healthy and we will truely see the survival of the fittest!

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007 @ 12:19am

How could anyone say this is fat? She is 161 pounds of beauty. What i dont get is that some 290 pound magazine, website, or news reporter can say that tyra is fat. people dont get it anymore i am only 15 years old and i can understand better than any other person that 190 today in hollywood for a girl would be fat. they would be the star of the headlines if they were to gain another pound. everyone would say they are fat, ugly, not sexy. if 190 pounds is fat what is 210 pounds morbidly obese? in my opinion calling there weight abnormal for an retired model or just an everyday mom is sick. how can people say that 161 is not normal or 190 pounds is abnormal when the 110 pound 5 foot 10 models are starving themselves and vomitting to keep there jobs. How can you say that is normal? i think our idea of a perfect body in our society today sucks. i am not saying that weighing 290-300 houndred pounds is good. it would be perfectly fine if it wasnt leading to heart and liver disease. But really how can being underweight be healthy too? our society is too concerned about not being fat that are not considered about being too skinny. this is a wake up call to all you selfish people who think they are so great making other people feel like crap. well guess what americas good people are gonna take it and shove it in your face.

Mr G
I’m not a blogger but I have to speak to the masses that maybe do not know the difference between an actual photo and a digitally enhanced one. All those worthless tabloid magazines (they know who they are) cannot sell their crap unless it’s a negative story. In case you weren’t really aware, Tyra Banks is not fat. She is one of the most beautiful, talented, and elegant black women of this decade. Look at her career accomplishments against the odds and all the successes she has attained. As she so eloquently stated on Larry King … even if the picture was really her … so what! … she is very secure in who she is as a woman … BTW … 161 pounds on her 5′10″ body is absolutely sexy … stop the madness … the truth never sells … Tyra is gorgeous, “real” and a “beautiful” woman … bar none!

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 @ 11:12am

The only people that would call Tyra fat are men who like women that look like little girls. They are so insecure they want to cover there “short commings”. What happened to the real men from back in the day that wanted a size 12 like Ms. Monroe. If anything Tyra is finally at her healthy wieght. If you calculate her BMI at her model weight you would see that a 120lb 5′10″ women is unhealthy. At 161 she is at her normal weight. The problem you people have are you are closet molesters wanting your women to look like little girls. As far as the women here, your self esteem is so low you have to stay thin in the hopes that someone will like you. Save your comments for the truely under/overweight people. When she gets to 129 or over 175 be concerned. Otherwise get a life.

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 @ 8:26pm

Yeha Tyra is a REALLY pretty woman and I don't know why everyone is talking smack about her because I'm guessing but pretty sure their g/f aren't any where near as pretty as she is. And I bet they weigh a lot more too. She why is everyone haten'?

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 @ 10:48pm

Tyra is far from fat. She is at a healthy weight and still looks great. I am guessing here but pretty sure that none of your girlfriends are as pretty as she is, and they probably weigh a lot more and you just don't know it. Do you even know how much they weigh? NO probably not. And I think everyone should take her advise and kiss her a** if they don't like her. It's not your body or you g/f's so why do you care so much?

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 @ 10:52pm

I JUST WANT TO SAY "FUCK YOU!!!" TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PUTTING DOWN TYRA!! sHE IS A GREAT WOMAN AND AN INSPIRATION TO WOMEN WHO DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE MODELS!! sHE WAS TOLD STRAIGHT IN HER FACE SHE COULDN'T BE A MODEL, AND RIGHT NOW SHES THE BEST ONE OUT THERE!! AND SO WHAT IF SHES NOT SO SKINNY THAT YOU CAN SEE HER RIBS! NO ONE LOOKS LIKE THAT!! NO ONE WHOS NOT PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR LOOKS LIKE THAT!!! NOBODY! TYRA BANKS IS BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY SHE IS AND I WILL ALWAYS RESPECT HER FOR THAT. AND AGAION, FUCKYOU!!!!

Heyy Everyone!!... Well Tyra Banks is NOT FAT. The media is so obsessed with celebrities losing and gaining weight.Tyra is such a beautiful person in the inside and out. She is said that she will be honest to everyone, and she did that when she came out on national telelvision and confronted everyone about her weight.Tyra is so down to earth. She could still be a beautiful supermodel. I know probably how much the tabloids really hurt her.She has alot of support from her fans and family.
