Remember How Messy Top Model Was? (feat. Jay Manuel)

In Case You Forgot, We Let Tyra Get Away With A LOT.

This week, Josh and Tracy revisit moments from one of the most influential supermodels of all time: Tyra Banks. She has modeled, smized, booty-tooched, acted, and created businesses and brands. But throughout her career, there have been some messy moments. And we’re not just talking about ANTM contestant Dani’s tooth gap (RIP).

We talk to Jay Manuel, former Creative Director for “America’s Next Top Model,” about Tyra’s legacy, the cost of being a trailblazer, and what it was like to be on set for that infamous blackface photo shoot.
