The sex industry may be viewed as immoral by some, but it exists because there's demand. This was just their role in society. The duaghter's embarrassment was selfish. It's like if their mothers had been custodians, which is a very respectable career, and they had been made fun of because their mothers worked at their school. If they had complained about that career choice embarrassing them, then they would be criticized and labeled as selfish. People who work in the sex industry are NOT bad people by any means. These women owe a major apology.

This was very judgmental of Tyra and her audience. These women used the resources available to them to take care of their families by themselves in a legal way, instead of sitting on their butts whining and collecting government assistance. We should not be putting them down. As for their children being embarrassed about it - GET OVER IT!!!! No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. At least your mom loves you and provides for you. And just why was your guy friend compelled to tell you he was in a strip club and having a lap dance anyway?

I like the tyrashow but this episode is one out of quite a few wherein Tyra seemed to be more interested in what she wants to hear from her guest rather than in understanding what they really have to say or where they were coming from. I hope she'll treat her guests with more respect and not invite people to her show just to criticize them if their beliefs and lifestyles are different from hers. She is very opinionated but I think she should also learn how to really listen to the people she invites and she should not always try so hard to change their beliefs or lifestyle according to what she thinks is appropriate.

i gues no one from the show will ever address how dissapointed and enraged, many people in the veiwing audience felt.....damn shame

I always liked your sows and how you help other women especially how to be confident about themselves...but there are certain topics that you really can't handle or host..especially if you do not have any experince on...like how much hardwork a mother could have raising their kids expecially i this life when its hard to earn money and feed your kids and send them to the best schools. I didn't like your episode today because I felt that you have judged the women-mother stripping when they have exmphasized they need to feed themselves and the kids. You are just very lucky in your life that you have it all (material things, I don't know about your love life) but there are a lot of people out there, not really lazy, but maybe just unlucky to find a decent work to feed their family. I hope you will always have the best thing in the world and so that you will not have to experience hardship what these people experience bec. you might say to yourself "Oh yeah...life is hard. To eat, I must grab ehatever available job there is". Not all people like what they do...sometimes they were just forced to it. And to keep sane, you just have to learn to like what you do or you'll be miserable for the rest of your life.

Yes Tyra I think you need to pull back your personal judgements on your show,because you are really coming off as being hypocritical,opinionated and rude when it comes to certain topics on your show,and I don't feel like you are really connecting with your guests sometimes it feels like you are looking for buzzwords so that you can insert your opinions.I will not assume that I know you or what you are thinking but I would really appreciate if you would take a look at some of these shows that get you the most negative feedback.It's not all hating some of it might be people who are seeing your mask slip and don't like it.Now don't get me wrong I love what you stand for I wish there was someone like you in my life in my younger days when it came to body image.I digress, Tyra please start treating your guests with more respect even if you don't agree with their lifestyle choices because the saying is old but true"treat people how you want to be treated".Remember Rickie Lake.

I loved U until 2day. Have u seen your famous swimsuit cover? Which part of your brain got u that? The Dominatrix or the stripper? How will your son feel when I drape his locker in mommy's victorias secret catalog pictures? How did u get where U are hypocrite? Oprah didn't walk down a runway selling a look, U did. Body & face got U where U are. Where would U B if men all over the world weren't cumming all over your face. Not 2 B crude but truth is what it is. While I WAS impressed by what U WERE trying 2 do, your judgement on this particular issue was FOUL, and I found myself ashamed of any1 who wouuld entertain Tyra. But then it's only 4 the ratings, It's only entertainment, RIghT.

I think that talk show hosts should be completely unbiased and while i love tyra, she is completely biased on shows like these. Even though she disagrees with the guests' choices, i think that she should leave it up to the audience. Sometimes it comes out as being really offensive and even if it is wrong, the experts should explain it or the audience should be the ones expressing how they feel.

There is nothing wrong with what Tamara does. There is something you must understand about BDSM. Experience and control means SAFETY. Safety is the most important thing. Tamara is obviously both expereinced and in control. If she stopped being a Domme, then that would have a negative effect on both others and herself (she enjoys it, too). What she does is beneficial to everyone involved. The only thing she might have done wrong is to not advacate the rights of consenting adults to her daughter at a younger age. If she did, I doubt that her daughter would feel hurt about her mom being a Domme. Maybe it would help her daughter to have an open discussion about why some people need to see her mother professionally.

Hello Tyra this is the first time that I am writing to you. Usually I can say that you are very fair and try to understand what is going on with the guest that you have come on your show but today I have to say that it seemed that no matter what Tamara said all you wanted to do was to make her feel bad about her children. I don't want to put you down but I don't think you have ever had to worry about loosing your home and your car and your children being hungry because you were making big money where your mother didn't have to worry. Everyone can't be models and if you had been listening the lady stated that she was working and was injured and could no longer work. Now she does enjoy what she does and is not hurting anyone and someone is going to do the job because she does have clients so why not commend her on her choice instead of making her daughter feel like she should be embarassed of her mother. All I ask is that you try to be more understanding because some people have to do what comes along. Going back to school now a days really isn't helping when there are no jobs available. At least you don't have to say the state is taking care of her kids.

Tyra...I'm a fan of your show and usually you're much more compassionate with your Guests. Disappointment is an understatement in my review of your program today. I was more appalled by your interview tactics then by what your Guests do for a living! Can WE get out of the Dark Ages? I thought for a minute you were going to break-out the 'tar & feathers...' Most of your points were unrealistic/Pollyanna in nature. We can't all be a Top Model...some people have to face unemployment - dead-beat fathers - and being injured on the job - which I believe you missed. Mistress Isis was a working mother but lost her job. Are you so out of touch with reality that you've missed people are out of work and JOBS are hard to find? Are you so busy trying to put people in your 'lil' box of what a mother should be - that you fail to see that we do not live in the 60's anymore? ...and how many children do you have? Has becoming independently wealthy by wearing skimpy swim suites and lingerie - which by the way...SEX SELLS and that is EXACTLY what launched your career...made you so ‘self-righteous’ that your trying to escape from your own past? IF you were trying to learn more about this type of Lifestyle - YOU failed miserably. I'm in the Lifestyle and understand completely what these ladies are going through. I'm a mother as well and my daughter knows what I do and supports me. You should be ashamed of yourself for manipulating a mother & daughter bond by using your own personal agenda. The video of the 'staged' Dominatrix/sub interaction was totally uncalled for. It was NOT your place to expose the daughter to that information...especially out of context. Today's

dude i totally agree with you beanna!!

If you don't like what she has to say then don't watch her show. Geez.

I may never watch Tyra again. The daughters on today's show are well adjusted, meaning obviously they were raised well. It seemed to me that Tyra was trying to create a problem between the first mother (the dominatrix) and her daughter where there didn't seem to be one. Why show video of what her mom is doing when she's at work? Totally inappropriate. Also, these daughters seem to be as selfish as the mothers are accused of being. The first one would give up her new computer so her mom could give up working as a dominatrix? Right...I'd like to see an update where she sells it on ebay to help her family out. The second daughter wants her mom to get work as a receptionist? Does she have any idea how much her life would change if Mom was suddenly making less in a week than in one night? How whiny would she be then? Boohoo...mom is never home! Do these daughters have jobs and contribute to the family financially?
