Tyra Banks was refused jobs for being fat

The 38-year-old 'America's Next Top Model' host has voiced her opinion in support of Vogue magazine's anti-eating disorders initiative and criticized fashion designers for only giving preference to skinny models, reported Contactmusic.

"When I was a model I was a four and then I started to become curvy and became a six and I got so many letters saying I was way too big and fashion designers were telling me I was fat. My mom got letters from designers saying they are not going to hire me anymore," Banks said.
