Tyra Banks and America’s Next Top Model had chaos, a stampede, injuries and arrests over the weekend. Overall, another normal day in New York City! The show was hosting auditions over the weekend when one incident triggered a chain of events which led to the bedlam.
More pictures after the smoke…
Tyra and producers were inside of Park Central New York Hotel and thousands of model wannabe’s waited outside. You know how a crowd gets while they wait…tired, cranky, hungry, irritable and well, bored of waiting with other people who might get their spot in the limelight. A car overheated nearby and some people yelled fire. People farther up in line yelled bomb and then someone else yelled he’s got a gun. All the makings for a disaster when thousands of people are around. From Yahoo! News:
“It was pretty scary,” Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show.
Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn’t properly organized.
Four injured people declined treatment, while two others were taken to a hospital, the fire department said. Their conditions weren’t immediately available.
Tyra has expressed worry over the violence surrounding her auditions. Hmmm. I wonder what will happen next….hopefully, more security and orderly auditions!

Poor Tyra, another moment for a photo op and to exploit young women. The show sucks, I have yet to see, a contender from her show, become a top Model. She exploits these young women for ratings and money… So I hope all the people that was involved in this chaos are okay but screw Tyra……
Pathetic show that keeps getting worse. Those NYC wannabes were blacks with ghetto attitude. They can’t go anywhere without causing problems. Most of them were too fat to be models even plus-size models.
That show will get a lot better quality applicants when it goes somewhere else. Anywhere is better than NYC because from the looks of Saturday’s herd NYC standards for personal appearance have really been slippin.
