Tiffany Richardson Accuses Tyra Banks of Saying “Nastiest Things” About Her Son Years After Explosive “ANTM” Blowup [Video]

Two decades later, Tiffany Richardson is still standing on business about that “America’s Next Top Model” blowup, and she is naming names. The Cycle 4 contestant revisited her infamous clash with Tyra Banks this week, blasting the supermodel in a heated Instagram post just as Netflix’s new docuseries about the franchise dropped. Fans never forgot the 2005 episode where Banks yelled, “I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.” The clip has lived online ever since.

But Richardson says what viewers saw was only part of the story.

“You know how you treated me the whole time off and on camera, YOU WAS A BULLY!!!” she wrote. “You treated me like s**t and said the nastiest things about me and my son.”

She also accused production of shaping the narrative in Banks’ favor, claiming the confrontation was “edited” to make it seem like the host “cared.”

Then came the direct shot.

“F**K YOU @tyrabanks I BET YOU WONT SIT DOWN WITH ME FACE TO FACE AND TALK ABOUT IT!!!”

Richardson, who has worked at a Miami group home supporting people with mental disabilities since 2017, said she is proud of the life she has built outside the modeling world. She added that she has “got more money and helping more people than all or many of the top models.”

“Damn shame.. it’s giving yall still hating on lil black a** me,” she continued. “@tyrabanks hoe just let it go, ITS BEEN OVER 20 years 😭.”

In Netflix’s “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” Banks addressed the moment directly, admitting, “I went too far. You know, I lost it.” She also said, “That’s some Black girl stuff that goes real deep inside of me, but I knew I went too far.”

The conversation is back on the timeline, and clearly, it is not finished.
