Tyra Banks Made The “Bitches Of The Moment” Feud All About Her, And Thank God For That
The “Bitches Of The Moment” feud all started when Rebecca Romjin Lettuce said Instagram tricks turned models aren’t true supermodels (she later cried clickbait). Stephanie Seymour then said that the term “supermodel” is a thing of the past and that Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are more like “bitches of the moment.” Kendall Jenner called Stephanie Seymour a “cyberbully.” Gigi Hadid hasn’t really said anything (emojis don’t count!) but her mom Yolanda Foster has, which is just embarrassing. Gigi is definitely no supermodel because no supermodel lets her mommy defend her. And now, Tyra Banks has finally piped in and is using this dumb feud to talk about the strength of Tyra Banks!
TyTy Baby posted the above picture on Instagram of her looking like a rockabilly cholita, and in her caption, she climbed to brand new levels of narcissism. (Actually, I should say “tyracissim,” because who’s Nar?) Tyra told 18-year-old Tyra that she will grow up to be the official spokeswoman of women and that when other women are fighting, she needs to step in and use her voice to talk about herself:
18 years old. Backstage at some grand fashion show. In Europe. France? Italy? Can’t remember.
But what I DO remember is that even though I may look self-assured and confident, there was a lot of pain in my heart. There were roadblocks and people who wanted to halt my success, but the fire in my heart and support of my mother kept me going.If I could talk to my 18-year-old self, I’d tell her that she will grow up and be a voice for all models. For all women. That she will have a responsibility to speak up when she sees things going awry. When she sees women that are sisters having conflict, she must be bold. She must be unafraid. She must speak out.
And she must do it today.
And I will.
Get ready.
Such strength! Such perseverance! I’m not talking to Tyra. I’m talking to those of you who managed to read all of that without closing your laptops shut.
The official spokeswoman of models and women also tweeted this:
This supermodel war is raging and it’s really tearing me apart. I wanna quote Rodney King so badly right now.

I was hoping that this boring, dumb feud would end with the supreme supermodel Naomi Campbell turning those bitches of the moment into dust with a side-eye and a weave flip, but it looks like Tyra has put an end to it and I, for one, am thankful to her and her Tyra-sized ego. Rebecca, Stephanie and the bitches of the moment have probably stopped fighting for good, because they’re too busy rolling their eyes at Tyra for making it all about Tyra once again.
And here’s the “bitches of the moment” showing off their nipples of the moment (well, one of them is anyway) while wearing their matching “bitches of the moment” uniform during a walk in NYC with “who cares of the moment” (Hailey Baldwin):
