Tyra Banks 'really is a diva?' Color us stunned.

tyra-banks-antm.jpgThe New York Daily News has quotes from several anonymous former staff members from "The Tyra Show" regarding what it's like working with Ms. Banks. The higher-ups say working with Tyra Banks was fine. The underlings say Tyra "could be extremely brutal."

What's that "Harry Potter" quote? Oh yeah... "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."


One former staffer had this to say:

There had been high turnover of employees for years. [Tyra] and the higher-ups on the production staff could be extremely brutal. She really is a diva.

Tyra made headlines Monday (Dec. 28) when she announced that her talk show "The Tyra Show" would be ending in 2010 after five years of being on the air. Apparently this came as news to many staff members, as Tyra told the media before she even told those involved with her show.

Merry Christmas! You're fired.

We have to say... we're shocked (SHOCKED) that it turns out Tyra is difficult to work with.

Wow, Tyrant Banks, huh? Big surprise... She is so full of herself, it's embarassing to watch. She's a has-been model who found out later on in life that she had no other skills to fall back on.

With friends like "Ms. J", Janice Dickinson, and the other Jay, I would think working for them would be hell on Earth as well. When Tyra transformed to a demonic diva on that poor girl in that picture you guys have, I knew we had seen the true face of Tyra. Talk about capturing a true reality moment on TV...

Unnamed sources aren't sources at all.

Damn Andrea do all your article's contain no info just you rambling?

She's Tyra Skank!!(snap!)

So dgh is back to be all weird and obsessed with Andrea's articles.

There's plenty of information in that article and not a bit of rambling. Stop stalking Andrea, dgh.

Oh Please. Why is everyone so shocked? I worked for the Show and reported directly to the "higher-ups" AND Tyra. Quite frankly, she really is indifferent to everyone's feelings. Of course all her execs will "Yes" her. It makes sense that she wants things done her way; HOWEVER, when you have total disregard for common decency, proffesionalism and respect- odds are: you ARE a b*tch.
But rest assured, although Tyra has forbidden all tabloids within her proximity; therefore, perhaps unaware of her tarnished reputation...she will one day have to deal with the laws of life: Karma.
Folks, we are all human. But it is an idiot who doesn't learn from their mistakes. And it looks like Ms. Banks keeps repeating the same actions...ask the LA staff.

no big surprise there.
