Audience Member Says Tyra is 'Phony'


Model-turned-talk show host Tyra Banks has been branded a ‘phony’ by infuriated audience members who waited more than two hours for her to appear in the talk show studio. The beauty, who won a TV Emmy earlier this year for her daytime chat series, reportedly ignored fans waiting to film the show on last Tuesday in New York while she joked and chatted with staff backstage.

According to New York gossip column Page Six, Banks’ actions further angered the audience as they could hear her laughing behind the stage curtain,. A source tells the publication, "You could hear her going on and on because she was standing right behind the stage curtain. She’s talking and talking. Meanwhile, you have the entire audience waiting almost two hours for the taping to start."

When Tyra finally made it to the stage, fans were further disappointed by the supermodel's demeanor, and accused her of acting "so cold" towards them. The source continues, "She leaves us waiting, and everyone is sitting there complaining, and then she comes out and doesn’t say a word about it. She didn’t even say hello, she got right into her script.

"She acted so cold towards everyone. She’s a phony," the unnamed attendee told Page Six.

The star reportedly further upset the disgruntled audience by having them participate in a poorly organized tribute to black models that required the audience to leave the studio and hit the New York City sidewalks.

"She had the audience prance down the street and then release black balloons. It was so disorganized, people fell over the press outside and almost trampled two little girl," the source claims.
