Hi Tyra...I want to start off first saying that I am a fan of your show, and I appreciate how you push the limits on what you talk about. Your shows on stereotypes, race, and ect. have been long overdue. While I appreciate your topics, I was quite disturbed by the topic you discussed concerning the young man who claimed deliverance after going through his process. My vice was not concerning the subject matter, but the guest you had to speak on the topic. I have always respected the fact that you bring accredited experts to speak on an array of topics from sex to periods! Most of the time these people have written books, and are well respected in their field. However, looking at the show, It appears to me that you or your research team dropped the ball when you found these people. As a Christian who does believe in deliverance, I know of several people who have not only written books on this matter, but also hold doctorate degrees in theology and the like. To bring someone on the show who calls themselves "The prophet and the overseer" is even a far stretch for many Christians, and it once again made us look like hate filled crazy people. I would suggest that the next time you decide to do a topic on such a controversial issue that you first research and find people who are not only professionals but accredited, and moreover can articulate their stance on sexual orientation without getting upset. Here are some names to start off with: Dr. Cindy Trimm, Apostle John Eckhart, Apostle Kim Daniels. I don't know if this will ever reach your show, but I had to say my peace.

Hi Tyra ! I wanted to comment on the show that I saw on the gay young man that gave his Life To Christ. I just want to say that you stand still and wait on the Lord young man!God will deliver you from your desires that are not of God! Tyra I had a lot of respect for you but I not only feel a deep sorrow for not only you but your cast and audience who went up against the Word of God!The Word Speaks For Itself it does not need any help or correction. To go up against the Word Of God is foolish and you Tyra need to seek God for yourself because it's ovious that you are LOST yourself.The Word of God says that to be a true believer of the FATHER,SON& HOLY GHOST you must not be a lover of the World!God put you where you are in life Sucessful Don't make him show you who he really is!!!!! TO ALL SAINTS: GOD IS REAL HIS WORD IS REAL STAND FOR JESUS BOLDNESS FOR CHRIST IS WHAT WE NEED IN THIS DAY AND AGE STAND & BELIEVE IN JESUS!! AMERICA IS LOSING THEIR RESPECT FOR THE CREATOR!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tyra, I am a 27 year old woman and I am phat!! But i just wanted to ask a question. Why do TOP MODELS have to be small!!! Honestly women are all shapes and sizes!! So a TOP MODEL should only need to be smart, educated, and able to adapt to the surrondings. How can anyone in your field state they are for women but yet you have to meet the ideal Jan! That is so not right !!! BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! But i am just stateing my facts!!

Hey Tyra im writing you to ask you a question. My boyfriend and I want to get married. We have been together for 5 years but the other day at work some co-workers was making fun and saying that we need to check to see if we are related because we already have the same last name. I have been going crazy these last few days trying to find a website to do that but I'm not successful. My boyfriend thinks I'm tripping, what do you think?

Dear Tyra, I’m a young women, who’s currently fighting a breast cancer. I don’t watch the Tyra bank show regularly, but I love top model I never miss a season. I’m under 30 and I know many young women thinks it’s impossible to be diagnosed with breast cancer at such a young age because I was one of them. I would like to see you do a show on young women’s who are a survivor and currently fighting Brest cancer. I know you have so many young women’s who watch your show and who are inspired by you. Including me and my two sisters. Thank you, Tigi Yosef
