In 2005, Janice Dickinson confirmed to Radar Online that she had been fired from "America's Next Top Model." She also revealed that her unfiltered criticism had been poorly received. "After a few episodes I began getting labeled a b***h, and that got to me," she admitted. When Tyra Banks appeared on "Nightline" in 2009, she refused to talk about Dickinson or her firing, per HuffPost, but Dickinson aired her grievances about Banks for years. "Sitting next to Tyra for hours and hours can be daunting because she didn't really like me, and we didn't really get along," she said on a 2021 episode of the "Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef" podcast. Dickinson theorized that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl was envious of her modeling career. "She never did Vogue. I did Vogue, she did Elle. I used to constantly remind her of that," she recalled.
Dickinson further admitted that she didn't really respect Banks' authority as a producer, which allegedly got under the other supermodel's skin. "I was the star of 'America's Next Top Model,' as far as I'm concerned," Dickinson told a group of television critics in 2006, per Deseret News. But she eventually became disillusioned with "ANTM," alleging that the judges' input was irrelevant because CoverGirl picked the winner of the competition. "They weren't taking my valuable words of wisdom and applying it to who should win or who should use," she complained on "Behind The Velvet Rope."
