Controversial moments from the 2000s-era reality show staple — involving Banks, 48, and former judge Janice Dickinson, 67, and their treatment of modeling participants — have resurfaced on Twitter.A segment from the third season has reappeared and shows New York contestant Kelle Jacob — who is black — being criticized in a “horrendous” fashion because of her darker complexion. “The way they treated Kelle was horrendous.

I thought she was so beautiful and her complexion was amazing. But they broke her down. Tyra definitely owes her an apology,” the viral tweet said.The clip showed both retouched and untouched shots of Jacob, with Dickinson, 67, talking about the difference between the images while making “monkey sounds,” according to some tweeters.

When the wannabe model told Banks that other people told her she has “beautiful skin” and suggested the problem was the photos themselves, Banks slammed her for placing blame elsewhere, rather than herself and how she posed.Users blasted “Life-Size” star Banks for her approach to Jacob, with one tweeting: “The fact that Tyra has gone unscathed from these horrific attacks on these young women will always baffle me.”The way they treated Kelle was horrendous.
