What they’re saying

“What I won was to go to Revlon corporate, sit in a back room, have a makeup artist put makeup on my face for a team of about seven people watching me. Who the f--- would fight as hard as we fought for that?”

— Adrianne Curry, Former ANTM winner (Entertainment Weekly)

“I still keep in touch with [Banks]. I really admire her as a businesswoman. I felt when she was with us, yes, she was genuine. And I have been around a lot of people in this industry who are not genuine, and Tyra really behind the scenes is like a homegirl....I do think she was genuine with us, I do.”

— Yoanna House, Former ANTM winner (Oliver Twixt)

“Times are changing, and Top Model is changing with the times. I want younger girls to watch it and be able to identify with us in real life. Plus-sized women, older women, women with mental health struggles — that's all very important.”
