Oh come on, Janice Dickinson. The ungracefully aging ex-“super”-model has taken some fairly petty and completely unnecessary shots at America’s Next Top Model co-stars Tyra Banks and Nigel Barker.
Tyra recently fired, unceremoniously of course, ANTM Nigel Barker, Miss J, and Jay Manuel. Dickinson went on Sirius XM’s Derek and Romaine show to discuss the news.
“She’s one selfish greedy woman,” said Janice of Tyra. “She doesn’t have a creative bone in her body, so someone else is pulling the strings on this one.”
Trying a little too hard to be relevant again, Janice?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
After then proceeding to casually out Nigel Barker as a little faggypoo, Dickinson alleged that neither Tyra nor the show’s producers pick the winning model on ANTM: Covergirl does. “I’m just going to say it,” said the Dick. “Covergirl chooses the model. It’s not the judges. It’s not Tyra.”
Is Janice talking out of her ass, or does she have the inside scoop?

Ouch harsh and entirely possible as far as Cover Girl picking the winner – there isn’t THAT much reality on reality television. That being said it’s pretty graceless.

what she says about Tyra Banks is true.

Janice does have a right to trash Tyra. She was arguably, no, unarguably the best judge that show ever had and was cut down way too early. Firing her was an unnecessary disservice to fans of the show and reality tv in general. It’s also not too much of a stretch to suggest that Cover Girl choses the winners, and technically she’s right – they judges look for the best candidate to sell their brand.

Although, I hope it’s true Nigel is gay. I rather like that man.

From everything that I’ve read about Tyranny Banks Ms. Dickinson is correct. I agree with #1’s comment. Nigel seems likely to be on the bus, so to speak.
I watched the show as a guilty pleasure rather like eating an extra desert until Ms. Dickinson was dumped or left the show.

She’s a hag who really believe that any of these lame reality competition shows are what they appear to be, a competition. Competition does not always make for good TV, and given the winner gets a Cover Girl contract, why would the give a contract to someone that they don’t have final say over.
Mike
I can imagine Janice being mad about CoverGirl picking the winner, namely because each time a CoverGirl contract was up for offer, she picked the wrong girl (she wanted Yaya over Eva and Kahlen over Naima).
But at the end of the day, the show’s more or less failed in producing models (at least with the winners). None of those four girls have gone far in actual modeling (at least Yaya and Eva are actresses now).

Danielle has been doing lots of shows in NYC.

I forgot to add that Jaslene also seems to get a lot of work.

I don’t get the angry tone of the article. It all makes perfect sense to me. I like Janice. I think being bluntly honest is part of her charm.

Jeeez, I can’t believe you people even pay attention to or watch this nonsense

I don’t know if I really believe Janice was a “top model”. Did she ever appear in George Michael’s video with top models? Yeah, I didn’t think so. But I gotta say, I love her style! She says it like it is and throws everyone off. She’s more REAL in the sense that she is real by showing her real personality and not something fake like most reality shows.
So yeah, her face and body might be fake, but Janice is not. She’s true to herself and she’s a riot of fun!
LOVE HER … Team Janice!

@Mike: It’s called a script sweetie. While reality tv might have a teensy bit of reality in it, that’s called improv.
Every judge is told how to vote and why with keywords to say… and if they don’t do it right, they film it again.
Clueless
Nice one – why do you need to comment on her appearance when her actions alone should substantiate your claim she’s trying to stay relevant ? Typical sexist behaviour on Queerty’s part.

@FunMe: “So yeah, her face and body might be fake, but Janice is not.”
while you ponder how much sense that doesn’t make i’ll go on the record by saying that Janice is classless and mean spirited
if there is one thing i hate, it’s people who are overtly rude for the sake of being “real” or because they like to “tell it like it is”
there is nothing refreshing about your lack of modesty or filter. you’re just an ass hole, with a big mouth. a big, fake mouth

Tyra is the most boring, repellant thing on tv. She panders to whitey, shes the female Will Smith. She says what she thinks she’s supposed to say….no one believes shes smart enough to go to Harvard. She’s the Ann Curry of the modeling industry, a pretty face but nothing to say
As for Janice….yeah she’s a train wreck but its an entertaining one at least. She has less to lose so she’s probably speaking the truth

ACtually this is nothing that hasn’t been said before.
She is right, Covergirl does choose the winner. And I think it’s interesting that Banks just fired all of these people and yet this article attacks Dickenson for calling her out on it?
If the Author is a fan of Banks, that should be put in the article.

Janice WAS a SUPERMODEL.She has been on the cover of magazines like Vogue,Harpers Bazaar,Elle,Cosmopolitan and Photo.She made the cover of Vogue 37 times.She also worked with almost all the major clothing companies during her supermodel days.So don’t put the quotation marks around the SUPER!!!
Bryan
Janice Dickinson has always been a desperate attention whore who usually says and does stuff she knows will get her name in the news.
And If Nigel Barker is really gay, all I can say is it’s as much a shock to me as Ricky Martin coming out.
Franco
How does saying this make her relevant?
OrnaMint
ANTM is IRRELEVANT. why would anyone waste an hour of their life everyweek for a show that hopelessly tries to prove that modelling is difficult, strenuous job that requires a lot of ‘skills’?!
