Ex-model Tyra Banks has allegedly outraged studio audience who accuse her of being “so cold” and “a phony.” 

Reports have it that she was set to appear in the Tyra Banks Show studio, but got in two hours after she was supposed to – and didn’t even acknowledge the people who patiently awaited her entrance.

Her reason for appearing late? She reportedly joked and chatted the whole time with staff backstage, reports New York gossip column Page Six.

According to the publication’s source, "You could hear her going on and on because she was standing right behind the stage curtain. She's talking and talking. Meanwhile, you have the entire audience waiting almost two hours for the taping to start."

Fans were said to be uninterested when Banks went onstage. The source adds, "She leaves us waiting, and everyone is sitting there complaining, and then she comes out and doesn't say a word about it. She didn't even say hello, she got right into her script.

"She acted so cold towards everyone. She's a phony."

The host further offended the audience when she reportedly took them outside the studio for a balloon-releasing stunt to celebrate black models.

The source continues, "She had the audience prance down the street and then release black balloons. It was so disorganized, people fell over the press outside and almost trampled two little girls." The Olsen twins?

Supposing the story’s real…. Why they waited two hours straight is beyond me.

Somebody should have hollered, “Come out, Banks, we can hear ya loud and clear.”
