Tyra Banks\u00a0is once again opening up about her former feud with\u00a0Naomi Campbell.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d host once had a very competitive relationship with the 49-year-old super in the \u201990s, although as she\u00a0clarified to the Wall Street Journal\u00a0in a new video, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a rivalry, and I\u2019m very sensitive to that word because a rivalry is with two equals to me, whereas one was very dominant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n The\u00a0Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover starexplained, \u201cShe was a supermodel and I was just some new girl that got on a plane from Paris, and was studying fashion in magazines at a fashion library. I had a very painful early days in Paris. As much as I was booking every single fashion show, people didn\u2019t know I was going home at night crying my eyes out because a woman that I was looking up to seemed like she just didn\u2019t want me to be there, and was doing everything in her power to make me go away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t understand that as a young girl,\u201d Banks continued. \u201cLike why is she doing this? This is so evil! This is so awful. The adult me understands that she was reacting to an industry that was all about a token \u2026 But when I came on the scene \u2014 Naomi, look out! There\u2019s a black girl that\u2019s going to take your spot \u2026 Only one spot available.\u201d<\/p>\n The two models have since put their misunderstandings to rest. In 2005, Banks invited Campbell on her talk show for an hourlong discussion about the feud before ultimately reconciling.<\/p>\n\r\n \t
