Janice Dickinson Puts Tyra Banks & 'America's Next Top Model' On Blast

In spite of last Wednesday's finale of "America's Next Top Model: All Stars" making headlines stemming from the dismissal of contestant Angelea Preston, former judge Janice Dickinson isn't shocked by the show's recent controversy.

"CoverGirl are the ones who choose the model -- not any of the judges. People don't know that!" she revealed in an interview on Janice TV at FilmOn.com. "When I found that out, I split. It's rigged!"

Since show creator Tyra Banks reportedly fired her in 2005 after four seasons of the reality show, Dickinson has publicly ridiculed Banks in the past calling her a "huge, big woman," and a "man." It appears that the 56-year-old still has a distaste for her former boss.

"The fact of the matter is [Tyra Banks] makes like $90 million," she said. "She makes a lot of money per year still hawking that franchise worldwide -- they're doing it in every country -- and it's CoverGirl who chooses the winner...F*** you Tyra! Eat a bag of royal skank!"

"America's Next Top Model" parent network, The CW, tells Us Weekly that Dickinson's comments about the show and CoverGirl "is completely untrue."

Dickinson reiterated her feelings to the tabloid on Friday stating; "I have a distaste for her. In America you say the truth. On TV you can fabricate it but eventually we all find out."

I don't like her method of delivery, but it would not shock me if the U.S. one was rigged. I mean look at the outcome of the supposed winners. Hardly none of them makes it beyond that one contract. I have seen the Australia and the British one, and our girls lag behind big time because they are not taught how to model.

Janice Dickinson is purely jealous that Tyra is still able to make money, while Janice is a drug addled washed out, has been. Janice spews hate at anyone who disagrees with her, or doesn't fawn over her as proven by her own hateful comments both on TV and in print. I only wish people would stop letting her speak in any public medium.

Why is Jancie still talking Tyra? Janice's show was a flop and she seems to be looking for a news outlet. She is so yesteryear.

I will always like ANTM because I like photography, and each show is basically a study of photography. Even Tyra gets the most excited in the episode where she gets to be the photographer. Who wins at the end is never that important. It helps all of the women's careers.

Janice is such a hater. She tried to make a brand and even copied Tyra's show but it wasn't as good. Also add that she probably in the celebrity world she's probably broke and the girl is ugly and I'm sure she paid a lot to look like that.

If it is Janice's intention to somehow "expose" Tyra, she should probably find another angle. Saying that Cover Girl chooses the model is like telling us that all of the Atlanta "housewives" are broke. Duh!!!

Who really cares, Janice Dickinson is just jealous of Trya because success! Wasn't her show cancel after one season.

Does it really matter? I thought, and I could be wrong, that when the America's Next Top Model idea first came up Tyra Banks said she could make the "average girl" walking down the street into a super model. Well, as it turns that is too hard. They audition and only pick ones that are not "the average" and certainly not random off the streets. If Cover Girl is sponsoring this big package why not have a say in whom is selected. I know I would want a say if I was bank rolling this gig. Let's face it, the show is yet another shallow, mindless, TV time waster, just a vehicle for Tyra's self indulgence and profit.....I wonder what is going to happen next week!

I agree. Some of those "amateurs" look mighty professional to me. I stop watching that show years ago when they gave their idea of what a "plus size" model was. Ok...moving right along.

Ugly, ugly, ugly, inside-out Janice Dickinson needs a psychiatrist — she's lost all perspective.
