if this is true then it just shows you that certain people are just in it for themselves
and what the hell were they releasing Black Balloons in Honor of Black Models, thats bloody racist, could you imagine if a white presenter did the same with White Balloons and honored only white models, there would be a bleeding outrage!

Ha Ha Any audience that would sit there for 2 hours and wait for that snot nosed puke deserves all the abuse she gives them lifting up your n_ts and skirts and walking out leaving her without and audience was the thing to do.

What a dumb audience. Why would you sit their for 2 hours waiting when you heard Tyra talking and laughing backstage? No one would stand in a grocery store in line for 2 hours to get their food ring up. Stupidity I call it. People need to stop idolizing others like they are gods. The same audience than goes outside and release black balloons. THIS AUDIENCE (GROUP OF PEOPLE) MUST OF WANTED THEIR FACES ON THE TYRA BANKS SHOW TO BE SEEN. I GUESS TO GET SOME TYPE OF FAME TO SAY I WAS ON THE TYRA BANKS SHOW. IT MUST OF BEEN WORTH IT TO WAIT 2 HOURS AND THAN PRANCE DOWN THE STREET RELEASING BLACK BALLOONS. DON'T COMPLAIN NOW YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO STAY.

I think Tyra is trying to be Oprah and except for the ugly face that both of them have there is no similarity at all... Oprah is fatter and Tyra is uglier....dutchgirl

I wasn't there, but I imagine that the only reason why Tyra was talking and not getting on with the filming of the show was because the production crew and producers were working on some aspect of the show and not yet ready to film. Do you honestly think that the whole crew would just waste two hours of their own time??? Obviously some technical aspect was the reason for the hold up and Tyra was probably waiting patiently and not whinging like the audience were. It's too easy to judge people and think the worst of them, rather than to step back and logically look at a situation - I have seen the Tyra show in the past and she does not come off as a self-centred cow, but as a caring and sincere girl. Give her a break!

The audience was stupid, someone should have yelled her name out. Black balloons how ridiculous, how about a few 20's.
She will never attain the status of Oprah. She has no class whatsoever, plus Oprah will always try to right a wrong.

Lets stop the hatred people. No one is perfect. WE forget that celebrities are people too. HOwever when they mess up it is broadcasted everywhere and no one knows YOUR personal business. Does anyone who posted a comment know Tyra personaly? I would think all of you do to know that she is such a phony horrible person. The world would be better if some transfered all that negative energy into positive. Do on to others.

I have a hard time believing this. Tyra seems really nice to me. Remember when she got Punked. She apologized AND hugged the waitress she had a little tiff with. I don't think she's stupid enough to laugh right behind the curtains while her audience sit for hours. If they did wait, she should have apologized and explained the problem. But overall, I don't get why ppl don't like her. It's too many other loser celebs to dislike.

uhm... aren't there laws about letting balloons go... something about birds choking on them?.. Anywhoo, I don't see the connection w/ balloons and black models... airheads like Tyra, maybe? I'd be more pissed they made me leave an air conditioned studio to almost get trambled by the press, but that's just my lazy X@@##!, I woulda napped for those 2 hours...

Its always more to the story maybe something wrong that's why she come out right away someone should have ask her, are the fans running the show or is she come on people, after all she's done you guys want to call her a phony how many times you were late for work and how many times you work up and sat there and then decided not to go to work are you a phony how mant time you call in sick and was not sick should you be fired and you have the nerve to be mad at her, no one is perfect I mean no one.
