I think Tyra was sticking to her talking points, to be honest.

So in our research for the podcast, we were trying to figure out, like, how does Tyra feel about all of the criticism?

And so we went back and found different interviews she did around 2020, right?

And she had the same talking points then that she had in the Netflix docuseries.

So it was a different time then, right?

That's a big one Tyra likes to point to, that a lot of the things that happened on Netflix

A&T, especially the early seasons, were socially acceptable in the early 2000s.

Right.

So that's one.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

My intention, particularly talking about the like race swap challenges, she was saying she thought she was doing the right thing and showing the beauty to other people.

But nowadays when we see it.

it's not right but I thought I was doing something that would elevate diversity right so for me knowing that she's doing this Netflix docuseries and of course all of these questions are gonna come up but for you to have had six years to really think about your answers and to really reflect on the things that people are saying about your show and the harm it caused for you to still have the same talking points to me just showed a real lack of remorse I don't think Tyra's sorry I think that's what it is I think we keep wanting her to be sorry and we feel like

She should be sorry.

Because some of us are even sorry for watching, right?

Like, some of us are sorry for encouraging some of the behavior.

And a lot of us have a different feeling about the stuff that we saw.

Like, a lot of us don't think it's okay, or we don't think it's funny.

Or talking about something like the Shandy situation, we clearly have a better understanding of assault and consent.

So we expect Tyra to also, like, have come to those same conclusions, right?
