She tells this month's Essence magazine, "I'd go to work [on 'The Tyra Banks Show'], and women would be crying in my arms. But then I'd go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I'm at work but so empty when I come home."

Tyra Banks Feels Empty Inside
She tells this month's Essence magazine, "I'd go to work [on 'The Tyra Banks Show'], and women would be crying in my arms. But then I'd go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I'm at work but so empty when I come home."

l want your snatch tyra
Damn that statement is sad. I feel sorry for her. I guess that old adage is true: you can't buy happiness.
First time she sounded like a real person.
I dont feel sorry for her; it makes me wonder why the fuck no one is around her ass. Sure ppl can be fake and try to use you, but you telling me there is NO ONE shes cool with to just chill and hang?
She should then WORK at getting a man and some friends.
She has a common ailment among attractive women. PGD (Pretty Girl Disease). It's where attractive don't have alot of friends cause other women hate on em all the time and dudes are intimidated to approach or just wanna bang. Alot of the ladies on this blog will disagree because they have never gone through this, (i.e. NOT "Pretty") but for the chosen few who do know about it, it is very real. I used to use my knowledge of this type of situation to prey on the finest women by tricking them into thinking I am not interested and just wanted to be friends then....GOTCHA!!! For the other dudes who; like myself, would like to benefit, the process can take a while, so make sure she is fine enough to be worth the time. The worst that can happen is you end up with a beautiful girlfriend/wife.
You're welcome.
Tyra away hang around gay man and fine women almost make u think she gay, but I know better she not got, I think she need to find herself a young buck that can keep up with her and wear her crazy ass out, [like me] she can work her but off all day if she want an
d than I will work her all night

Damn...she sounded human. I wonder why she don' thave any friends?
I myself don't have any close girl friends but I do have a few who I can call and hang out with them. She needs a man.
I hope that she finds happiness before she leaves this earth lonely:)!!!
She talks to god damn much! Men don't want to hear her mouth all the time.
Maybe she spent so much time on her grind she didn't realize she was missing out on the things in life that are important as well family friends. She is a woman that has it going on and sometimes it is hard to maintain relationships with women who can be catty and competitive and males that can't keep up so they shit. What's a girl to do
I felt bad when I read that. I wish her much luck. She shouldn't absorb herself in work so much and then maybe she would have a little more time to focus on the relationships she has had with men or family. Forget friends, especially women. Use your family as your friends.
PGD (Pretty Girl Disease) is very real. Once a guy asked me if I was married or if I had a man and I told him "NO" and he was like "You're fiiiinee. I don't believe it unless something is wrong with you." I was like, "Nothing is wrong with me, fool."
I have had girl "frienemies" who didn't want to go to the club with me after a while because they said I would "get all the attention from guys."
I complimented a stylish female coworker on a cute top she was wearing and asked her where she got it and she told me that she did not want to tell me where she shops 'cause I would start looking even better than her.She had the nerve to come up to me the same week and asked me for the brand/name of lipgloss that I was wearing.
PGD is annoying because men constantly approach you and they always want sex. You have to learn how to say NO frequently. When my boyfriends are good looking I get hated on and when they are considered below average I am told that I can do better. I don't settle and I hate drama. I can't please everybody. I would rather have a good career and read a good book than put up with bullshit from a man or female. Go Tyra!
MAYBE TYRA SHOULD CALL CHRIS WEBBER BACK AND SAY .."IM SORRY BABY PLEASE COME BACK TO ME BECAUSE REALLY IM NOT CRAZY"
I undastand the not having no man and kids, that is hard to get if you are a woman on the grind, but dang she been on this earth looooooooooooooong enuf to have made one female friend to kick it with, hell she sit next to that crazy fool on her show that thinks he is a girl, hang with his butt. I know chicks can be cold but she gotta have 1 friend, homegirl, BFF, dang girl that just sound pityfull...........
Yeah, I can feel where Tyra is coming from...the PRETTY GIRL DISEASE. I'm a cool female, and getting friends is not easy to come by, even with my bubbly personality...As far as men, I'm often treated like a sex symbol-even when I wear baggy clothes and even with my class, and some men are intimidated. I guess they think I'm supposed to have a stuck up attitude. And as far as education and accolades, some pretty woman are more likely to have these things, and this intimidates men too...I have often censored what I do for a living and my income, because of these things. But at the same time, I'm not being true to myself...I don't know what Tyra's solution should be....I think Tyra should just be friends with rich people, because the poor people can not relate and are intimidated by her money and status. She tries to relate too much with the poor crowd, and they see her as the total opposite. The men she's dated probably make less money than her too.
Awwwwwwwww Tyra...
poor thing! she strikes me as a perky pain in azz! too boujwa for the blacks and too black for the whites! she better come off that TYRA PERSONA that she gets paid for and be her real self a little more often!
i have been thru this PGD phase! and put the boujie business down and started speaking my mind and being real and people were attracted to my personality. of course you get haters and dogs everywhere you just have to be strong and open enough to sift thru the bullshit!
so drop the boujie shit Tyra and you will be aight!
I do not have any female friends because in my case, they smile in your face and talk shhh behind my back. I always welcomed them into my home when they did not have a place to stay. If they had children, I would buy them clothes, food and so on.
What do I get in return, they steal money, clothes, try to sleep with my ex man and one even stole my credit card and went on a shopping spree. I only deal with 3 females and they are relatives.
Females have been envious of me and I do not know why. I am not fake, deceptive and selfish, so what is the problem?
Now Kimora's fuckin Amistad, she dnt want NONE of Tyra.. I bet she's like "Fuck Tyra's pussy and Russell's old flaccid shit, i got me sum real dick diesel, at last!"
When I posted the explanation of PGD, I put it up "anonymously" because I know alotta anger can occur when you speak the truth. I have told all my finer female friends about this theory and it has helped them understand their "Frienemies" as well as male friends who wanted to exploit it. But since now you all understand it, when you explain what it is to your friends give credit where it is due.

You're welcome.
I really used to hate Tyra Banks until ANTM! But now after watching her for 7 years I think Tyra has a cool personality and seems fun and well rounded for her to have so much success and money and come from an industry full of fakes, snobs and superficial people.
I think Tyra has friends. SHe's very cool with Kimora, Ole girl from Tyler Perry's movies and the Jay's it's just that when you're a celebrity and your friends are celebs, your work has you traveling so much that you're rarely in the same place at the same time! SoI get what she's saying!
She does her talk show full of excitement and adorers, gets off work probably late, goes home and all her friends are in L.A., Europe or somewhere else Jet-settin. It just goes to show you that even some of the most successful folks still want and need love from the opp. sex and desire regular girl talk and kick-it sessions with their friends.
Maybe she should ask herself why she ain't got no friends, let alone a man.
Wow. That sounds real.
Now don't get me wrong, I would rather have PGD than be beaten to near-death with the ugly stick.
I'll be Tyra's friend...w/ benefits.
Damn looking at that picture again i just got the perfect idea for my new bed headboard........
I feel for her. Because everybody needs somebody.But far as friends some times its best not 2 have them because a friend is there 2 the end like Chucky say. but when u got friends that get mad 4 no reason, you dont know what the fuck happened.That's called drama I reather b by myself than have that.They only talk 2 u when they need u,and u help them out with what evers up with them they r fine. when ever u need them there never there thats users Tyra need 2 stay away from them type.Get herself some hanging buddys not friends and she will be ok.As 4 getting a Man. the problem getting 1 shouldn't b hard.Keeping them on the other hand is on her.
@ B_Mac said...11:12am.WHAT THE FUCK R U SAYING!!!!!!AND U HAD THE NERVES 2 HIT POST TWICE......
I thought she was a mama's girl. I know I was and lived with my mom during the last 10 years of her life. Before that tho, we talked everyday, had dinner every Sunday and were just tight.
I know everybody doesn't have great relationships with their moms but Tyra does (I thought) and since she has so much empty time on her hands she should spend as much time as she can with her because she won't be around forever.
Awwwwe di-did. Tyra having a man is'nt all cracked up on what people think it is just keep making your money and dont share it with any man that does'nt have as much as you (niggas are trifflin sometimes) Now as far as the girl friend thing is concerned Im pretty sure she has some friends but they probably are jealous of her success, the right man and friends will come along for her when the time is right!
It seems that virtually all "extreme" people - extreme wealth, extreme beauty, extreme success, extreme intelligence, etc. - all have that one thing in common: loneliness. Not only because of everthing else posters above just stated, but because they simply don't fit in with the masses. And it's not necessarily because they are arrogant or conceited either. It's not because they have bad attitudes (most anyway.) Average people and extreme people get along with each other, but they really don't have that much in common. Average people are the majority - so the chances of them finding good spouses and friends are better than for "extreme" people. Which is why "extreme" people need to stick together. They truly understand each other.
PEOPLE NEED 2 STOP WITH THE GIRLFRIENDS JEALOUS SHIT.TYRE IS IN THE BUSINESS WERE THERE IS NOTHING BUT BEAUTY AND MONEY AROUND HER.THEY DONT HAVE TO BE HATERS,LIKE I TELL MY BROTHER HANG WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE SOMETHING LIKE U DO. NOT TRYING TO BE STUCK UP OR ANYTHING.iT'S JUST WHAT IT IS..IF U HANG WITH PEOPLE ON YOUR LEVEL YOU CAN COME UP TOGETHER.PEOPLE BELOW U WILL BRING U DOWN,MAKING U FEEL BAD FOR YOUR SUCESS.WHEN WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS LONG ENOUGH 4 US TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE.IM NOT SAYING WHEN U GET BIG LEAVE YOUR FRIENDS BEHIND,BUT SOME U HAVE 2 BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT SHIT OUT OF LIFE.WHEN U WERE GROWING UP AND U AND YOUR BOYS ARE HANGING ON THE CORNER.10 TO 20 YEARS LATER YOU GO BACK HOME TO VISIT & THEY R STILL ON THAT SAME CORNER..YOU DO JUST THAT LET THEM LOW LIFES STAY ON THAT CORNER.TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT TYRA WANTS 2 BE ALONE.
pu-lease! get to know your tax guy, your accountant, your lace-front lady....people you spend lot's of time with!
There is a shortage of good men. Chivalry is damn near dead. There are increasingly more male 'gold diggers'. Be afraid Tyra. Be very afraid.
HEHEHEHE!!!!!! That waz funny @7:29PM
There are some truly unattractive broads claiming "PGD". Hilarious.
Damn. Tyra always got the ill poses.
PGD is not hard to conquer. Just hang with people who are just like you. Then they will have nothing to hate on because they're just as pretty as you are or even prettier. I work with alot of females and me and my friends get hated on constantly and talked about because we're boss bitches. It is usually the fat, bald-headed, insecure bitch wit no self-esteem who wants to hate. But that's okay because if my name is constantly in their mouth, that lets me know that they are true fans. And as far as finding a real man goes, you just have to look for someone who is on your level. And I don't mean just with looks, but with education and their financial situation as well.
...also, at this stage in life, most folks have moved on from friendship, sadly, and are totally immersed in couple-dom. That becomes their priority. So if you are not coupled up yet, and I firmly believe Tyra's partner is out there somewhere -- man or woman -- , then you can get lonely 'cause you are not the priority of your friends anymore. This is not college, people!
That pose says "fill me up".
I mean damn Tyra its like that sHiit.. I sure as hell dont wanna be in her shOes... I mean maybe cuz the mOnie bUt other than that, NaHHHhh dOgg...Damn she has No friendz @ all...

I so agree with u.But like my momma say if they dont think it.No one else will...Keep your heads up wanna be PGD!!!!!!!!!!!lol
That PGD is real. Tyra should concentrate on maintaining the relationships she has already. Kimora was a good friend but she is with Armistad and she has children so that can cramp your friendship a little. To one of the posters above who meantioned they can't please anybody wheather a good looking man or ugly one, Please yourself and gain hobbies. People are always going to criticize don't worry about them. Judge a man by his charcter because "beauty fades but stupid lasts forever." Select a man on his legal hustle, watch how he treats the women in his life goals ambitions and does he have God.
LOL @ 7:53PM. Ain't that the truth tho!
PGD my arse!
I hope her next guest don't read that and flip on her like " Bitch you the one that needs a hug"
I think the comment about all her friends jet setting and everybody moving and shaking in their own direction is accurate. She does not have a family to take care of so I can see her being alone when she comes home but she could get a man Im sure there is a sucessful one out there that has some of the same interest that is not gay.
Ans also, when you are even slightly successful it is hard to maintain some friendships it's true sometimes you got to leave some folks behind or they will drag you down one way or the other God forbid you been doing well and something happens and you turn to one of them don't think they are all that sad to see you hurt.
@8:00 AM
SSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!!!!
I moved away from NY for a few years did a few things got some stuff came back on some hey if I could do it so can you shit and let me tell you people you would think were happy for you - NOT they constantly want to remind you of what you used to do and be U+I have learned the hard way you have to leave some folks alone and find people moving the same direction otherwise it can be lonely. And that was just my little bitty story can you imagine her rollin in the dough she got and needing a pal. She has been paid for years she should have friends that have it going on to they are just busy. Oprah is probably the same way key in the door - and nothing couple servants and some dogs cuz we know Stedman has his own life and so does Gail. It's like after you get all the stuff you needed and wanted its still just you. I got to say I sure would like to know.

RIGHT? All these women talkin' about: I know, I suffer from it too...
No ya don't.
Ya just don't have friends is all...
^^^^^HEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!@9:39am That's a good 1
Who the heck is Armistad? Kimora's boyfriend's name is Djimon Hounsou. And way to generalize that pretty women are only seen as objects of sexual desire or envy. My roommate is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and she inspires nothing but love and goodwill from everyone she meets because she is beautiful inside as well as out. I don't think that's the case with Tyra at all, and the same probably goes for anyone who would go on a message board and carry on about how awfully they're treated because they're so pretty.
hey girls...dont forget that we can see some of your pics. so think twice before you diagnose yourself with pgd. lol
jamie...stop. you sound average.
" My roommate is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and she inspires nothing but love and goodwill from everyone she meets because she is beautiful inside as well as out."

lol. Earth to Jamie.
HEY JAMIE
Lets see a pic of your roommate. She sounds fine. Do you hold her purse when you 2 go to clubs?
life should be more than just money and celebrity. what if life serves you a curve ball and your money or your fame caint fix. it will be the friends and family that you gave love and time to that will help you through those times. peace for all>>>>>>>>>>
ANYBODY CAN GET A MAN LOOK AT PAULETTE AND DENZEL, I HAVE A FEELING SHE ACTS LIKE SHES TOO GOOD FOR HER OWN GOOD AND TAKING ADVICE FOR KIMORA PROBABLY HURTS HER EVEN MORE THAN DO HER ANY GOOD....
It's true you can be beautiful on the outside with a effed up personality and that is such a turn off.
One of my family members is a very good looking woman and I always wondered why she never had a man only a dog and as i grew up and got to know her I see why nobody is putting up with that shit. SHe just too gorgeous in her own eyes and no one is good enough and she complains about everything is truly miserable. THing is if she would relax a little more she would be alright.
Chris Rock: Women HATE women. You get any two girlfriends in this room, been girlfriends for 25 years, you put a man in between them, "Fuck that bitch, " "Fuck that bitch." Guys are not like that. Guys actually think that there are other fish in the sea, and if a guy introduces his boy to his new girlfriend, and when they walk away, his boy goes, "Aww man, shes nice, I gotta get me a girl LIKE that." If a woman introduces her new man to here girlfriend, and they walk away, her girlfriend goes "I gotta get HIM, and I will slit that bitches throat to do it." Every girl in here got a girlfriend they don't trust around their man.
These comments have been funny as hell but I must say there is truth to the pretty girl disease and I have experienced this bullsh*t forward and in reverse.
Now there is one advantage to the pretty girl disease and that's the "PGH" the pretty girl hookup. It's when you go to stores to buy things and the man behind the counter starts drooling over you and refuses to let you pay. The bartender gives you free drinks or larger drinks than your homely friend. You don't have to wait in line at the club. It goes on and on.
Pretty girl disease is not really a disease unless you allow it to be. I find myself "divrocing" my girlfriends on a regular basis because I just don't have a high tolereance for low-self esteem, jealous, conninving women.
Sometimes it's neccessary to trade in your friends for better models. Life is too short for cattiness and drama from other women all the time. I get along better with men since I grew up with two older brothers. A lot of women can relate to that.
^^^get over yourself. You sound like a self-absorbed bitch. That's why you don't have friends.
ha ha ha @your dumb a$$ at anonymous 3:39. I have plenty of friends that's why I can dispose of them at will unlike your obviously homely, hatin' wish u looked as good as me a$$.
Tell u what b*tch, go buy some Maybelline, get your hair did, shave your cooch every now and then and pluck your eyebrows and you'll be surprised how many hatin' b*tches like you try to come at you with that bullsh*t.
I just told the truth and I guess the truth hurts.
I just laught at homely hatin' b*tches and I do feel sorry for them. It sucks to be you, doesn't it?
You'll be a real woman the next time.
Next topic.
I cosign with R in ATL. I am a victim of PGD and I love the PGH [Pretty Girl Hookup]. I get so much free $hit sometimes, it's ridiculous.
Advice for Tyra: 1) Don't be so fuckin fake and maybe some of your friends from your fake hollywood world might exist in your real world.
2) Stop sitting at home, regurgitating food, and wishing your name was Beyonce... You're not.
3) Call Chris Webber up. His fake ass will tell you whatever you want to hear. Match made in heaven.
4) Stop hangin' out with weird muthafuckaz like the ones on that model show. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DARK THING WITH THE BLONDE HAIR?!!!
Does this bitch ever stop talking?She seems so goofey;;I hope it is and act
