“America’s Next Top Model.”“She’s not a friendly lady,” Dickinson, 69, said about Banks, 50, on the June 18 episode of “The Bachelorette” alum Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast.Bristowe, 39, recalled that she had little interaction with Banks when she was on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2020, which was Banks’ first season hosting the ABC show.“You’re too beautiful for her,” Dickinson told Bristowe. “She does not like beautiful women.”Looking back on their history, Dickinson admitted that she “tortured” Banks when they did “ANTM” together in the mid-2000s.“Because, if she was going to be mean to the girls — I saw her ploy, just so I could remain under the radar,” Dickinson recalled. “I’d tell her things like, ‘I did Vogue, you did Elle.'”Dickinson also claimed that Banks was “always late” to the show’s set.

She said the “Life-Size” star kept everyone “waiting for hours and hours” when they were filming the final episodes of Season 4 in Cape Town, South Africa, without air conditioning.“How did she get away with all that?” Bristowe asked.“It was her show,” said Dickinson. “She was the EP.”Dickinson added: “She claims she created it, but she did not.

I met the guy who created it.”The Post has reached out to Banks’ rep for comment.Dickinson previously spoke about her issues with Banks on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2015.“Tyra’s a tough businesswoman, and she does great TV.

I respect her as a woman,” the supermodel said at the time. “I’ve said some pretty bad things about her in the past because I’d been fired, and I was very hurt that I’d been fired, so I acted out.“That’s not when I acted in a sober-like fashion.
