In a new interview for Access Hollywood and "The Billy Bush Show," Paulina opened up to Billy about her dismissal as a judge from the popular reality series, created and hosted by Tyra Banks.

"I must admit I was having a little bit of an issue with Tyra being late for every judging," she told Billy. "It's six hours later and I feel like I am being told my time is not as valuable as hers. They pointed out that I should shut up and be grateful for the job and that Tyra is really busy."

Isn't being self absorbed a requirement for being a model? And isn't it a main reason why Tyra has several TV shows? Hello. . . .

Paulina was the only real model worthy of judging anyone. I understand her anger.

When Paulina told Tyra " You go take pictures and I will take over " I knew the end was close....

Tyra Banks is famous for what again? She has a show to do that? To keep her off the street corner?

Tyra is so self-absorbed that the show doesn't even make it onto my list of guilty pleasures. It's just excruciating to watch her. Kelly Bensimon on housewives isn't nearly as shallow as Tyra, and Kelly is pretty darn shallow!

And this should be a surprise? Tyra has her own little sissy fits! We've seen them. Especially when she's criticized!! And by the way, this is probably why she's got no man! Who would want to be around someone with the mentality of a teenager!!!

It is funny how when you are up, people want to bring you down.
If Paulina had any talents of her own, instead of looking pretty, she wouldn't be badmouthing her ex-boss - but rather figuring out other ventures. Busines is busines, money talks B.S. walks!!
Me thinks Paulina is jealous of Ms. Banks!

What a whiny infant!!! Tyra obviously hired her as a guest judge, not as confidante and "best bud." Tyra has a lot on her plate, if it was that rough waiting for the boss to show up to meeting, why didn't this one just quit?

Evidently she was being paid too well for her time...unt­il she blew her cushy gig...

Paulina repeatedly told a beautiful 25 year old contender, Celia, that she looked old and desperate.

I couldn't believe it. I am so glad that she is gone.

This being Tyra's show isn't an excuse for her poor treatment of her employees.
If Tyra had been considerate, let Paulina know why she was late, apologize, spent some off-camera time with her, and did what she could to keep them happy, Paulina wouldn't be outing Tyra like this.

And really, it's rude for Tyra to fire a main judge on her birthday.

I have a problem with Tyra preaching about how great she is on Top Model and her talk show, when obviously, she is a b**ch to the people who work for her.

Indeed.
Being fired on ones birthday is a real pisser.


Happy Be-lated Birthday Paulina.
I hope you find a new gig soon.

Sweetie, the key words here are "people who work for her". You sound like someone who hasn't got a clue. I will be willing to bet you that Paulina had issues with Tyra long before the Top Model gig. They had to have been rivals at some point in their simultaneous careers on the runway and before the camera. I would also be willing to bet that the only thing that got Paulina on the show was that she is a "former top model" herself and only there to validate the shows relevancy. And you can bet the fact that she is a "former top model" is part of her problem. I mean, unlike Tyra, what the heck else is Paulina doing these days?

And here's a clue for you. Nobody would be interested in watching either show if Tyra hadn't been a Top Model herself.
