I would never go on Tyras show because I wouldnt want to be ridiculed, judged and embarrased like these women and othr women on your show. How is it that you can invite people on your show and then treat them so badly? Sad.Lately my family and I get so irritated with you being so rude to these people. Eventually people arent gonna wanna come on the show after they see how the guests are embarrased and cut down for what they do.

I think this ridiculous.How dare someone tell another person that the job they work to take care of their family is the WRONG WAY TO MAKE MONEY.Are you serious?I know exactly how hard it is to find a job after loosing one.These ladies aren't having sex with people they are doing what they have to to make their children's lives a lot better.How can you tell a single mom they need to go back to school to try and get a better job.It's impossible to pay rent pay utilities pay for their lunches at school and pay for them to go to college and buy groceries and get gas and keep a car in school.Do you know how many people,including myself,wish they could go to school but after you get pregnant and have kids you can't.It is about the money because nobody will give us anything in this life without money and since i don't see anybody telling Tyra and other models they do dispicable work while they take their clothes off almost to nothing and take pictures for the world to see no one should tell these moms they are wrong.People need to learn that just because you were able to make it in life doesn't mean everyone can.This is no different than racism or gay bashing or any other discriminatory act.Stop saying things aren't right or it's not the right thing to do because no one is living our life for us and I applaud these ladies for doing what they have to to support and provide for their families.Until you are a mom at 18 living on welfare and getting evicted from the only home you have Tyra stop trying to put these women on blast for making a way out of the dumps.Put yourself in these

Ok, Tyra you know you're my girl! But I am so angry watching your show right now. Me nor my fiance see anything wrong with what Tamara is doing. She is not hurting anyone or having sex with these men. She is doing what she has to do to give her children the best! You cannot make good money working at McDonalds and she said that she has a work-related injury. Personally I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced what she has should have an opinion. I've been where she is. I lost my home, my husband and my job all at once. Survival mode kicked in. When you don't know how you're going to feed your children, clothe your children or provide a home for them, you do what you feel is necessary! I say to Tamara "YOU GO GIRL!" I will say that you need to institute some safety measures so that your daughter won't have to worry about your safety. Other than that, keep doing what you have to to make that money and where do i sign up?

I have to agree with most of the comments, these women are doing everything they can to support their children, without the children knowing, and quite frankly, they make tons more money working these types of jobs. As a woman who supported her children the hard way with a publicly respectable job, there was never enough money and I was never paid like the men doing the same job. It's funny to me how women that have good jobs, or husbands to support them will critisize other women who are working like this, I think it stems more from fear that their husbands might be visiting them on the sly, meaning they might have jobs that are respectable but they are not taking care of the husband well enough to keep him. It's sad in a world where women do most of the spending but men have most of the control and those women that do have some control, have no compassion on the women that don't. This show made me very angry. Tyra you should have been more sensitive to these women like in a sister and not as a judge!

Tyra I do hope you read your posts. I watch your show almost daily and you are great!! Although today I feel you were not on your Tyra thing. I finished raising myself and my brother since I was 13 due to my mother having a nervous breakdown. I came across a lot of people, wise people and someone said to me that I should never judge anyone, everyones life experience is different. You never know how many men or what your mother ever had to do to put food on the table. I never stripped or sold my body but don't knock anyone who does. I think that instead of beating up the women so badly for what they choose to do to keep food on the table and pay bills, why not offer help to change their lifestyle for safety purposes and remind the children that they will too have children and anything can happen in life so even though their mom did what ever it took to raise them, be happy and thankful because even if they were not completely safe in what they were doing I am sure their children never went hungry, without clothing or a roof over their head. This world would be a whole lot better if we focused more on our one flaws in life instead of others and when doing it for ratings or pay be considerate of anothers feelings when passing judgement. I remember a time you were expressing how someone else made comments and was cruel and rude to you, guess how those women felt today. Don't try to Psych analyze everything I noticed your doing a lot of that lately. Sometimes people do things for the purpose of staying ahead in life not because of something inside that

Now, I'm not a mother and I'm only 19 but I am part of the BDSM lifestyle. I'm a sub with a Dom, but it's free between us. If I got paid for what I like then yay to me. They are mothers that did what was best for them and their families. They may have started out not liking it but they did what was needed because they love their children, and I don't think little Miss Tyra is gonna hand out the checks when these parents need money for their kids, is she? If so then good for her. Also, if being a Dom for a living is bad for a mother just because it's being a Dom then is it horrible for her to enjoy it as a personal thing? Would Tyra dislike her even if she did it just because it was a personal kink? Guess what, Tyra? A lot of women don't like women to model because they're using their LOOKS to get ahead in life. I don't feel that way but I know a lot of mothers/women who do and you sleep just fine at night so get off those womens backs and don't judge until you're forced to deal with all of that.

Tyra, The women on your show are not bad people, but they have to do what they do to take care of thier families. Everyone doesn't have money and even with a minimum wage job these days you can't survive so they have to do other things to make the extra money. My husband works and gets paid $14 an hour and it is still hard for us. If the economey drops anymore and prices go up, I will have to get a job and put my son in daycare. I might have to get a second job just to pay for daycare. I know you don't approve of thier jobs but some people don't have a choice, and all of them can't just go to school or find a better job because they don't have the money or there aren't jobs that pay enough. These days you need more than minimum wage to get by. I Love You Tyra and your show.

Hey Tyra, Honestly I was very very dissappointed with you this episode. So yesterday I was talking to all my friends about celebrities and I told them that you were my IDOL. When I told them that, they all were shocked and I asked them why. They all said because you are extra, rude and ignorant. I completly disagree but in this episode I was shocked. One thing that makes me consider you my idol is that fact that you NEVER JUDGE. In this show tapping you were accepting at all. There is a difference between telling someone how it is and attacking them.I felt that in this show all you were doing was attackig. Yes these women chose a different "Tabboo" lifestyle and it may not be right but we don't know what these women are going through. I think that sometimes without meaning it you come across as "my way" or the "highway". Not caring about people's feelings. Tyra I am sure if you were in there possition you would be upset at the way you were talking to them. When you told this grown women who has been through probabyl much more than you that what she said is how a child sas. I beleive you have no right to say that, did you have a kid at 18? Were you fired? Did you have three more kids? This women has been through so much and I don't have to be a psychologist to see that she has been a great mother to her children. It is so ignorant to comment that this grown woman, strong mother of three is acting like a child. Tyra Banks you are my IDOL in everything I do I look up to you, and I will always look up to you,

I don't watch the Tyra show that often...but I do know she generally pushes the female empowerment ticket. She wants women to feel comfortable being themselves. Or does she? She was constantly putting that mother down, and trying to put words in the daughters mouth. Tyra verbally attacked her for saying something like 'i need to be me' or what have you. This was just rediculous. TYRA BANKS IS A PRODUCT NOT A PERSON! She exploits herself far worse than these women, for money she's not desperately in need for. She's a big contradiction. She's barely human...SHE HAS NO SOUL! Boo on her. Women should not look to her as a guide, her morals are totally askew. Also, dominatrixes rule. Up the bondage!

I'm not believing my ears right now. I'm listening to the young lady whose a dominatrix and I'm listening to tyra and the audience and it's so upsetting. She is grown and if she choose to support her family this way then so be it! Why is she being attacked!?? I'm a mother of 3. Parents are in charge. It's our responsibility to take care of our kids the best way we know how and if others don't agree so what!! I applaud mothers who do what they need to do to take care of their children especially when their not robbing, killing, or hurting others to do it!! When their kids become adults they are going to have to make tough choices so they need not sit here and judge.

Hello Tyra, I am a fan and I think you are a great buissness woman but today your performance was horrible. As a tv show host it is your responsibility to expose your viewers to a different idea or style of living but you were so judgmental today it was hard to get the story. These women did not deserve your condescending tone they are simply using sexuality to pay for their families lifestyle. This is very similar in the eyes of most people to you strutting down the catwalk in nothing but Victoria Secret underwear. To me it is just more Glamorous but I wouldn't walk in front of millions with only my thong and bra. But that is your thing and many people do not judge you so why would you come off so harsh on these moms. There were plenty of times during this episode where you missed out on asking a question that would penetrate deeper into the story because you were to busy judging. For instance they screamed that it paid the bills. Us viewers would have liked to know how much does it pay? The lady said there were things that she would not do, twice. You passed up the opportunity to ask her what those things were, TWICE so you could pass judgements. These ladies are not engaging in intercourse and should be allowed to do whatever is healthy and not causing harm they choose. You were also feeding the daughter Nichelle her words and making her very uncomfortable. My mom would not like me posing in a mens magazine soak and wet with only a skimpy bikini, as you have done but it does not mean that she would want to turn against me on national television as you were trying to

I am goin to start off by saying that this is only an opinion based on 'my' life experiences ... i guess it is safe to say that i am opinioated on this topic as i was once a very young mother (17) and did not have family .. no sisters , no brothers , & no available parents ... i knew at a very young age (14) that i wanted to have a family and created a world for my children which i did not have ... however, i now know that a 14 yr old probably should be planning things such as jr proms as opposed to starting a family ... but anywho , i did start that family ( after the thought of sex stop scaring the bajesus out of me ) and , as many of the young mothers which i see on your show, and then ' realized ' the ' having to provide element ' ... so , i took something that i had a passion for (dance) and began to earn a living .. ( keep in mind that times have changed , and i wouldnt encourage any young woman to follow my lead ) but , i found it possible to raise 3 children ( without help from child support ) and also , keep my self respect ... i actually enjoyed going to work , i worked with many single mothers whom where raising children and most patrons where very aware of that .... i myself, never 'stripped' , i danced .... and to be honest, i wish i still could ( for a living ) ... now i dance at weddings or socials with my husband .... my point is, just because a woman decides to dance , doen not

it was hurtful to see the reaction from tyra and the audience. these women are doing what it takes to provide for their children. a good mother will break herself to build her children. it is hard to find a job without a college degree. when you have children you cant jus up and go back to school, it doesnt pay for its self. you have to make a choice either to go to school or provide for your children. everyone does not have money to swim in like you do tyra. how could you judge someone or even tell them they dont care as much for their childrens feelings when you have no children. if you did you would understand. it is no business of the children anyway. as long as she is taking good care of them. a child needs to stay in a childs place and not question their parents. it hard enough being a single parent in this world. they do not need you or anyone else judging them. im only 18 and i know how hard it is and i have no children. you need to stop turning your nose up to them and try to help them.

SEE THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ON THIS. NOW IF THEY DIDNT TAKE CARE OF THERE KIDS AND BUY THEM WHAT THEY NEED YALL WOULD BE SAYIN THEY ARE NO GOOD PARENTS AND NEED TO BE ON THEY JOB. SO LEAVE THE MOMS ALONE AT LEAST THEY DOING WHAT THEY GOT TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF THERE KIDS. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THEY NEGLECTING THEM AND NOT GIVIN A RATS BEHIND BUT THEY NOT, SO LET THEM DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO TO TAKE CARE OF THERE KIDS

I am also disappointed in the Tyra show lately. Tyra is to opinionated and judgemental, she asks as if she was cross examining those mom's. Tyra should remember that before she retired from modelling. She also got paid for parding around in her bra and panty's too, only difference is she got paid more, but I'm sure she did alot of head service to get to where she is know. that is why she is so fascinated about this topic and puttind down others for what they do to survive, because it makes her feel better about her own past,cause she got paid more,,lol
