Though many fans were excited to see on Tuesday, some folks found pleasure in seeing her for a different, more shady reason. As Banks closed down the show, viewers on social media noticed that she put on more weight than she originally had when she graced the VS stage years ago. Realizing that she now would fit into the category of being a “plus-sized” model, folks online called out the irony in that fact, dubbing it her “karma” for her time as a judge on the popular 2000s reality show “America’s Next Top Model” and how she allegedly treated the thicker models all those years ago.
“The fact that Tyra is now a plus-sized model is proof that karma really does exist. And I know a lot of people are defending her like ‘oh that was back in the day, we all change. Blah, blah, blah.
’ But that doesn’t mean she didn’t have [an] effect on all those people around her. And now she’s become what she hated most,” said TikTok user . Similar sentiments were also echoed on X/Twitter with one user : “The fact that Tyra Banks spent all those years tearing girls apart just to walk across the stage as plus-sized.
LOL” “Tyra banks plus size now??! after all them years of terrorizing them girls on antm,” another. However, a handful of others were quick to come to Banks’ defense, explaining that if folks really went back and watched the show, they’d realize that the once eponymous daytime talk show host was one of the main ones who advocated for plus-sized girl.
