Tyra Banks is on the cover of Paper Magazine‘s latest issue serving fierce and dishing some ANTM secrets.
See below photos from her “Fierce As A Tyger” themed cover shoot and 5 takeaways from her interview with the magazine.
On the people’s reaction when she left American Next Top Model: “I stepped away, but social media was calling my name in my sleep, screaming they were pissed off at me that I deserted [the show],” Banks says of fan reactions to her departure. “I needed to bring my butt back, so I did.”
What the next cycle of ANTM will entail: “The battle between the generations is on,” she says. “Who says 40 is too old to get your model game on? Not me, boo.”
On juggling her career with being a mom: “There are some mornings where I am sleepy,” describing the feeling as a certain kind of tired that she had never understood until now. But, she says, “My son is just like, ‘Mama, wake up. We are playing. We are going to have a party. We’re going to do the happy dance.’” She adds, “You just have to keep going.”
