So it just seems all for entertainment or at least random or for nothing or something.

Let's talk about the We Were Rooting For You, the Tiffany Richardson iconic scene, which had really become a meme.

But the truth is, like, much darker, at least, it appears.

Yeah, that moment really speaks to the complicated role that Tyra played on the show, where she was sometimes the ally to these girls, or this kind of big sister character.

She would go talk to the girls and be pally-pally with them.

And then sometimes she would scold them and tell them off and be like a, I don't know, like a really, really harsh mother.

But she would play both sides, at least this is how it seemed to me watching the show now,

for the benefit of making good television.

And I'm thinking specifically of the instance with Shandi.

Shandi talks about an experience that she had that appears to be an apparent filmed sexual assault, where she was intoxicated and had an interaction with a guy.

But the way that it was framed on the show was that Shandi had cheated on her boyfriend.

And after this happens, I mean, Tyra comes and talks to the girls and just starts obliquely talking about cheating.

Yeah.

I had one guy that cheated on me in Milano.

He was a male model child.

And that just hurt me so much.

But now, I always tell my man, like, don't cheat.

Flirt so much with the girl, and then come home and do me.

I do remember her story.

It's a little difficult for me to talk about production because that's not my territory.
