Nigel Barker Shares His Relationship Status with Tyra Banks


This week former America's Next Top Model runway coach and judge, Miss J. Alexander, revealed that he has not heard from ANTM co-creator, Tyra Banks, in years despite having had a stroke [click here if you missed that].

ANTM fashion photographer and judge, Nigel Barker, has had a different experience with Tyra...

From E! News
“Tyra and I are still friendly,” he said during an appearance on the Feb. 17 episode of The Viall Files. “I don’t speak to her often. I normally speak to her once or twice a year… it’s always been very cordial.”
In fact, the 53-year-old noted that despite his abrupt dismissal from the series—he along with Miss J Alexander and Jay Manuel were all fired after cycle 18—he and the supermodel have seemingly avoided rehashing the past in their more recent interactions.
“She doesn’t like that kind of confrontation, as for what I’ve experienced,” he went on. “And yeah, there were some hairy times—when I left the show, I was definitely hurt at the time. I thought it was not handled well by the show.”
“But at the same time,” Nigel noted, “I’m a big boy and life goes on.”

I saw the Netflix show and she needs to go under the jail.

Tyra did NOT make all of these decisions alone. Everyone has a boss at the end of the day. She is the creator of the show but the stakeholders make the real decisions. You can't blame her for all of the shenanigans. GTFOH Under the jail for what? Sit down

Tyra was the face of ANTM and the executive producer. She knew what kind of damage she was causing and all she cared about was ratings. Yeah, she needs to go to jail for abusing women.
