Tyra Banks Cries Over Basketball Star Ex-Boyfriend

What Basketball Star Does Tyra Banks Cry Over?

On Wednesday, November 8, 2006, Tyra Banks will air a show called "Professional Athletes and the Women Who Love Them," about the female groupies that make bedding or marrying a super-star athlete their number one goal.

"Women who will do anything to be with athletes," is how Tyra described the girls, including one pretty brunette who sat not too comfortably in the hot seat of Tyra's couch as the incisive talk show host probed for details.
 

"You'd wait outside the locker room?" Tyra asked her from afar, perhaps staying physically away from the type of woman who used to tempt Tyra's own NBA ex, Chris Webber. 

We're Not Groupies!
According to Tyra's site, this Wednesday's show will feature "three women who say they like to date athletes
But the so-called "not groupies" aren't the most newsworthy segment.

"It's the interview that caused me to break down," Tyra says in a voice-over promo for the compelling show, which also features a controversial NBA husband and wife who are practically joined at the hip in their travels.

Tyra Cries
Not only will Tyra chat with the women who would do just about anything to snag a sports hero, Tyra herself will also shed a few tears with NBA star Doug Christie's wife, Jackie, the one who tries to make sure her man never cheats by following him around to every game while her mom watches after their kids.

The promo showed Jackie wiping tears from behind her sunglasses while the audio describes Tyra asking, "Have you ever been tempted by a groupie, Doug?"

Doug is shown hesitating while the Christies confess to some action that prompted Jackie to remove her shades, dab her eyes and reveal: "I was hurt."

Tyra's Confession
In light of Jackie's vulnerability, Tyra reaches over to touch Jackie's hand and comfort her with a confession of Ms. Banks own: "I was with my boyfriend for a long time," Tyra began, her voice cracking. "I couldn't stay…" she continued.

"But I know personally he loved you," Jackie responded, causing Tyra's face to seem pinched with even more pain over a relationship gone wrong to an unnamed basketball star. Of course the world will wonder if Tyra is weeping over her break up with basketball star Chris Webber, with whom she enjoyed an at least a three-year relationship.

Allowing Adultery
"An NBA wife who allows her husband to cheat," is how Tyra introduced another guest on the show, Masha Kirilenko, who is married to the Utah Jazz's Andrei Lopatova. According to the Tyra Show website, Masha will share with viewers "why she lets her husband have a sexual 'free pass' once a year."

"If I know about it, it's not cheating," the cute blonde Masha is shown saying, while Tyra holds her nose in amazement as the audience groans. It's sure to be an exciting watch.

Very true! I do like Tyra, I think she is gorgeous and successful,however, if she thinks she will be the next Oprah she has work to do. Oprah keeps a neutral feeling about everyone and every issue, and she lets people talk. Tyra always interferes and she tends to relate everything to her situation and/or modeling. I do think she is very self centered. Not saying she is a bad person everyone has their flaws

cuz she has some ill feelings bout gettin cheated on by a basketball pro. I never said I would ever sleep with one of them who were married, thats crazy. But she assumed it, and that was wrong. She's a bitch. And several other girls who go on her show leave crying because tyra had demeaned them for no reason. watch her episodes, shes a conceited, jealous girl sometimes. I like that she is successful, but shes got some issues, and only thinks about herself. every conversation she has alwaqys ends up talking bout herself, and doesnt let the other person get any words in because tyra keeps talkin bout herself, or her expierences. She needs to start car5ing more about people, and get over her low self-esteem, which makes her always talk bout herself to feel better.

I am the girl who they are talking bout when they said I wait outside the locker room and I was sitting in the seat feeling uncomfortable, and she stood afar away from me cuz she hated me cuz she thinks I am the one who tries to get with athletes. Just want you guys to kno I made all that up to be on the show. The producers said my story waswnt juicy enough for them to fly me out there, so tell them a story bout whats the craziest thing I would do get with an athlete. So i made up a story bout waiting outsid e alocker room. and some other stouff, just to get them to send me to LA for free and be there for 4 days with a limo driver to take me around. And she handed it to me, guess thats what Iget for lying. I figured Id tell them that story just to get me out there, and then I wouldnt say it when I actually got onstage to shoot the show, but they pressured me to say it, and i had to or they woulda sent me home. So i made a fool of myself, and Tyra treated me like shit cuz she has som

you need to stop the disgusting comments you are making toward people if that were you ,you would not want her talking about you ,you do not even know her personally so you need to consider peoples feelings

Tyra is a ho and will do anything for a dollar or a rating. She isnt really attractive or cute and has no real talent. Tyra, like disco, will fade to nothingness
