Tyra Banks ANTM ‘Karma’ Says Eugena

Former America's Next Top Model season 7 model, Eugene Washington, sparked controversy once again after her recent remarks directed at Tyra Banks, the creator and host of the defunct show

In a video she posted on Instagram, Washington stated that she enjoys "watching ((Tyra)) in her failed era" and asserted that Banks "deserves it”

Tension between the two arose years ago, when Washington accused the show of subjecting contestants to dangerous challenges and extreme diets, stating that she "felt like my life was at stake for ratings”

This time, Washington took to Instagram to express her anger, stating that Banks "deserves" to be going through a professional and media failure.

“I think the fact that she refuses to apologize is what will cause her to continue to fail, and I think it's great karma for her.”

Banks, for her part, has not issued an official statement responding to these accusations. However, during a speech at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Tyra acknowledged that the show made mistakes:

“Did we do well? Not at all.. I said some stupid things”

However, she defended her career and the positive impact that, she believes, the show also had:

“I refuse to have my legacy reduced to a few clips on the internet, when we did 24 seasons changing the world.”

Washington's statements revive the debate about the production methods of modeling reality shows and the impact they have on the mental and physical health of their participants.

🆗Eugena says she enjoys Tyra's "failure era”Is it immature to wish ill on Tyra, or is it a justified reaction after years of silent trauma❓❓❓

ANTM—She wasn’t the worst! 😭
I don’t know if y’all are remembering the show wrong, but Tyra was rarely the problem! If anything she advocated for those girls the most against the other judges. Every month Tyra Banks get dragged through the mud. I know she just waiting on the Surving ANTM to come out, but y’all she wasn’t the w

Happy Birthday Tyra Banks
Born on December 4, 1973, she entered fashion as a teenager and immediately shifted the hierarchy. The industry tried to play gatekeeper, but Tyra strutted through like she owned the blueprint. Her beauty was loud in the best way, her presence non-negotiable, and everyone had to adjust or get left

Stop blaming Tyra for your bad decisions; take accountability for your actions.
I’m genuinely asking if two adults are drunk and no one says no, but one regrets it later… does that automatically make it assault? Regret and lack of consent aren’t the same thing. And blaming Tyra for grown people’s choices feels like a stretch. Let’s talk. #accountability #ANTM #assault #
