Janice Dickinson Calls Out Tyra Banks, Claiming America’s Next Top Model is Rigged

Janice Dickinson & Tyra Banks Fued Heats Up!

An original panel member on the CW’s America’s Next Top Model, the self-professed first supermodel, Janice Dickinson, made a mysterious early exit from Top Model during the early years of Banks’ mega-franchise. Allegedly, Tyra Banks fired the outspoken former supermodel after just four seasons with America’s Next Top Model, and neither party explained exactly what went down… until now.

When Janice Dickinson gave a round of exit interviews after “leaving” Top Model, including one light-hearted appearance on Live! with Regis and Kelly, Dickinson made nice, explaining that she simply felt she was not the right fit for the America’s Next Top Model format and decided to move on with her career. At the time, perhaps for public relations reasons, Janice Dickinson made nice with Tyra Banks in the media, praising Banks’ innovation in creating and helming America’s Next Top Model.

Well, as the years went on, Janice Dickinson has not been quite so diplomatic, and it’s no secret that there is, indeed, plenty of bad blood between Banks and Dickinson.

In a recent interview Janice Dickinson blasted, “CoverGirl are the ones who choose the model, not any of the judges. People don’t know that!”

Janice Dickinson didn’t hold back her sour feelings for Tyra Banks, continuing, “The fact of the matter is [Tyra Banks] makes like $90 million. She makes a lot of money per year still hawking that franchise worldwide, they’re doing it in every country, and it’s CoverGirl who chooses the winner… F*** you Tyra! Eat a bag of royal skank!”

Tell us what you really think Janice. So much for PR diplomacy.
