Janice Dickinson Says Tyra Banks Is Fat

And just when you thought it was all over, "America’s Next Top Model" judge brings the focus back on the former Victoria’s Secret model.

Speaking in defense to actress Jennifer Love Hewitt’s recent bikini pictures scandal, self proclaimed "world’s first supermodel" Janice Dickinson dragged Tyra Banks into the whole mess.

Unflattering pictures of Hewitt in a bikini emerged online last week causing quite an online disturbance with people harshly commenting on her figure. The actress herelf reacted and fired back at critics saying she loves her body and that a "size two is not fat."

During a December 10 appearance on NBC’s "The Today Show," Dickinson told Al Roker that "Jennifer Love Hewitt is a healthy, not emaciated, woman. She’s a healthy girl and these are unflattering camera angles on her," but instead refocused her attention on Tyra Banks who earlier this year was the victim of a similar controversy, when pictures of her in a bathing suit drew harsh criticism regarding her weight.

"You want to see someone fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat!" Dickinson told Roker, who recently shed quite a bit of weight.

"Why would you say Tyra Banks is fat?" Roker tried to turn things around, prompting Dickinson to backpedal slightly, playing it off with: "I’m kidding, I love Miss Banks."

"[My remark was] off the cuff, but there’s a controversy to build up your show by selling fat one week and thin the other. In the modeling industry, yes you have to be thin," the 53-year-old added.

However, according to MSNBC a close source to Dickinson revealed that the former model was actually pretty serious about Banks and “Janice has been looking for any opportunity to speak out against Tyra.

She feels like she got treated like s--- by Tyra when she was involved with ‘Top Model.’ I can’t believe she’s drudge up the past like this, though."

It appears that one of the reasons Dickinson left America’s next Top Model in 2005 was her feud with Tyra Banks. "Janice just couldn’t stand dealing with her any longer. As long as she has the time and platform to throw Tyra under the bus, you can bet she will."
