A PETITE LIE! Tyra Banks ANTM Takes Credit for Plus-size Models...

Sept. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- BellaPetite.com Tyra Banks: “Top Model was one of the first times we saw plus-size models treated equally; now it’s a trend. Do you feel responsible?

TYRA BANKS: “I am actually really, really happy. When I pitched the idea of ‘top model’ to the network, I said, ‘I have to have plus-size models,’ and that was a different time; so they were like, “eh…whatever. The thing is we have to make sure it isn’t just a ‘trend.’ Women’s bodies come in so many different sizes; I’m hoping it is not a trend and we can continue different looks.”

Moreover if the above quote were true, then why is it that this season’s contestants range in height from 5’8” up to 6’2” (which is actually considered too tall)? Are we to believe that no one under 5’8” applied, or were good enough to make it onto this cycle?
