Comment on The Tyra Banks Show


Last month Tyra Banks aired a shocking episode in response to the tabloids. The paparazzi shot photos of her on one of her photo shoots and made her look like she had gained a lot of weight and had headlines such as, "Tyra has gotten fat!" Although Tyra has gained a little weight since her modeling days, she is still at a healthy weight; however, when those photos of her appeared in the magazine, so many people were saying, "wow, Tyra has gotten kind of fat." But, this just shows how the media has such an impact on how people think and their perceptions about celebrities. She discussed this matter on her show and she came out in the same swimsuit that the paparazzi shot her in. Although, when she appeared on her show, she looked nothing like the magazine photos, but actually looked very in shape and trim, but also did not look too thin; she looked healthy. She discussed how the things in tabloids can be so misleading and how not only are they misleading, but they can also be very hurtful as well. The photographers find one bad angle of her and throw it all around the nation in magazines and on television. Before her show aired, there were many rumors floating around about Tyra becoming fat; however, she is not fat and rumors such as these are the reason why so many young girls and women have body image issues, especially when in the photo, she was not fat, but simply didn't look like a model anymore; however, she is not a model anymore so why are people still expecting her to look like one? This is a fine example of how the media and entertainment industry give us distorted views about what beauty is and what a healthy weight is. I think that Tyra has become an excellent role model for young girls because she deals with many of the body image issues that the media is creating and supports the idea that the entertainment industry needs to stop. We need to have more celebrities support this idea and speak out about what the entertainment industry is doing to the women in our society and how they are setting impossible expectations.
