Tyra Banks let loose on her show yesterday and gave the tabloids what they've been deserving for a long time. While wearing the bathing suit that originally sparked comments like "Tyra Porkchop" and "America's Next Top Waddle" Tyra stood up for all the girls who have been fighting weight issues. Tyra stood up in front of the studio audience and millions of viewers and told the tabloids who called her overweight "Kiss my fat ass."

Tyra Banks goes onto talk with models of all sizes that she has as guests on her show. She also talked with the mother of a 21 year old Brazilian model who dies last year because of anorexia. In addition, Tyra also spoke to a woman who is currently fighting an eating disorder that is destroying her life.

It's about time someone started fighting back. These tabloids are printing photos that are not only false but extremely hurtful. Tyra's recent tirade is nothing short of how many people feel everyday when being criticized for the way they look. And it's not just bigger women, its smaller women, bigger men and smaller men. The media's obsession weight is just that - an obsession with weight in general. Big or small, we need to divert the focus off weight and put the focus on talent and personality. Luckily, the entertainment has people like Tyra Banks who will fight to protect the feelings of others.
