Tyra Banks was hurt and upset when unflattering pictures of her in a swimsuit were published recently.

The former model, who now presents America’s Top Model, said she thought there was a certain ‘ meanness and rejoicing ‘ that people had when they thought that was what her body looked like.

She said:" I don’t want to sit in front of you and be all soap- baxy and fake and say, ‘ I love myself, I’m beautiful, it’s great. I still feel hot, but every day is different."

Vogue online also reported that Banks admitted that she doesn’t ‘ live up to the model standard anymore.’

She added:" If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there- the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those things."
