: MediaTakeOut.com EXPOSED talk show host Tyra Banks last week when one of her former guests came out claiming that Tyra's producers coaxed him to ACT IGNORANT on TV- and denigrate Black people.

Now MediaTakeOut.com has learned that a popular African American actor is levying the same charge against Tyra. According to Julito McCollum, who starred in HBOs hit show The Wire, Tyra's producers tried to convince him to act like he was an ignorant Black man – all in the name of RATINGS for Tyra’s show.

Fast forward to 2:55 to hear him explain how Tyra's producers tried to convince him to act ghetto and ignorant:

And in case you think he’s lying – here he is on the show:

We just can't believe that Tyra would be a party to this mess. Hopefully it's just a few rogue producers and not Ty Ty herself ...

PrettyBrownGirl

Oh Lawd who even watches her show anyway?! Her topics are so corny and she comes across as sooooooooo FAKE! And is that girl even his sister or did they pay her off also to be his fake sister?


mscrystalclear

tyra banks is a mess. i used to like her but as i started to watch ANTM more i started to see how fake she is.

as for the the claims that shes doing ti for ratings, im not surprised....


blkbuddafly519

Oh well!!! to each his own..MOVING ON


whatwhatwhat

At first I didn't believe this but then I tuned into her show about *** categorizing themselves as a Jester, King or some other stupid category. The sh!t was sooo ridiculously fake that it started *** me off. They had a transvestite on there who kept saying he/she was straight and it's obvious the producers put her up to keep saying that.

Tyra is a fake.


lottawoman

The Brother was Hot in The Wire!


grandquis703

Poor tyra and that lame nemend both of these cats are looking for attention and they cant get it.LMOA follow me on twitter.com/grandquis

guccibagshawty25

THIS IS WHY I DONT CONSIDER MIXED PEOPLE ON BRIGHT SKIN PEOPLE BLACK THEY ALWAYS SOME CELLOUTS ..HOW YALL WHITE PEOPLE SAY IT IMMA DISOWN THEY AZZ



slimgody

in Hollywood everything is fake


UHLJJANGKITTY

he got so fat

and who cares if her show is fake yah still watch it.


GuessJeans

I believe him. Most of these talk shows are designed to promote coonery regardless if the host is Black or not. Tyra might be another sell out


colbynelson

I HATE THAT B!TCH!


MochaDLight

The doctor probably lying to! How sad and Tyra know the deal she is in the entertainment industry to so she know the hustle don't think for a minute that she doesn't know what's going on.


jewelz83

It's probably just her producers. *** happens, ya know. When Jerry Springer did it y'all was all hollerin' "Jerry! Jerry!!" Don't hate on Tyra now.....


betterman

@mizzkiki why is it that they dont have a problem makin themselves look stupid on tv, but then later on wanna go make a video sayin that they were told and gettin paid to make themselves look stupid?

Because they are actors babydoll. and black actors at that. They r goin to take wateva exposure they can get. But why is it the black one always get caught? Now Tyra is lookin mad fake and I don't care. I never liked her cheap azz.....after she bought her staff mcdonalds as a christmas bonus.


bajanbaby_995

he's lyin I still loveeee the tyra show


HotChocolate49

Has Tyra responded to these claims at all? NOW we all know that when a guest goes on these talk shows they are groomed on what the show wants. Look at Maury and Jerry Springer all those people cant really be THAT ig-nant. The audience wants a certain "fool" and these shows deliver. That's show business. You cant really believe everything you see on T.V.


Luv-Lee

I 100% BELIEVE THIS!!!! I will never forget last season when she did that show on domestic violence after the Chris Brown-Rihanna debacle happened and a young couple on the show was the same exact couple that was on TI's show Road to redemption. The one that TI took to the college football game and he said he never been to one.


blackmamba1

MTO.. STOP ACTIN LIKE ALL MAJOR TELEVISION TALK SHOWS DONT HAVE ACTORS... LOOK AT JERRY SPRINGER..


KayJay508

~Yawn~ We know she is a fraud so we don't need more & more stories to prove it. This ish has been confirmed.


monique2468

good_downsouth

See, this is why I can't stand Tyra most days! Black people, stop this black face mentality, ***!


bmorebitch89

nicdraw

She ain't the only one that does that type of stuff.


H0LLyWoOdbOiAnT

SEE EVERYTHING THATS DONE IN THE DARK SHALL SOON COME TO LIGHT, ITS SAD THAT SHE MAKES HER OWN RACE LOK DISGRACEFUL TO BENEFIT THE RATINGS OF HER SHOW...TYRA BANKS YOU WILL NEVER BE OPRAH BIG HEAD ***!

WENDY WILLIAMS HOW YOU DOIN?!


RedDragon

I HOPE HE DIDNT' SPEND THAT 5O DOLLARS HE GOT FROM THAT SHOW ALL IN ONE PLACE! LOL! OF COURSE THAT HORSE'S SHOW IS FAKE..THE WHOLE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS FAKE...AND HE WAS DUMB FOR LETTING HIMSELF GET USED BY THAT COON. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A "STARRA"..PLEASE..GO TO TRADE SCHOOL AND TRY TO FIND A J-O-B..LIKE REGULAR COMMON WORKING FOLKS...LACK OF FAME WILL NOT KILL YOU..AND HIS ROLE ON THE WIRE MUST NOT HAVE BEEN THAT BIG BECAUSE TYRA INTRODUCED HIM AS THE ***'S COUSIN..LOLLOL!


MaliaRichards

Tyra is fake anyway and the chic is annoying to me. She also loves to do alot of light skinned vs dark skinned shows. I think she tries to exploit the black community alot. Stuff like that just causes dissension in the community as opposed to unity.


dominicanchica

A mess! I like Julito! And who is this Nikki Menaj chica again?


RedDragon

THESE ACTORS ARE DUMB..THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY THINK BEING ON THAT WHACK SHOW IS GONNA GET THEM FAR IN HOLLYWOOD..MAN PLEASE..I GOTTA KEEP IT REAL.LOOK AT THIS DUDE..HE'S BLACK, GOT AN AFRO PUFF PONYTAIL, DRESSED LIKE A THUG..HOW IS HE GONNA MAKE A LIVING IN HOLLYWEIRD WITH THIS URBAN LOOK...THE ONLY KIND OF ROLES THIS CLOWN WILL GET IS GANGSTA THUG..BOTTOM LINE..HE'S NEVER GONNA MAKE IT BIG IN WHITE CONTROLLED HOLLYWEIRD...IT'S TRULY SAD WHEN PEOPLE WASTE THEIR LIVES CHASING FAKE DREAMS..


swtj

yeah at least on jerry springer you know it's fake..they had a show a couple of years where you saw the producers ask people to act a certain way. this is messed up though I wouldn't want to play the role of someone that didn't want to go to college..oh well to each his own


RedDragon

@DOMINICANCHICA...NICKI MINAJ OR (MENAGE A TROIS FROM WHAT I HEAR LOL)IS A WANNA BE RAPPER WHO CAN'T RAP, SHE WEARS EXTRA TIGHT SLUTTY CLOTHES, SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD SOME *** INJECTIONS...ANOTHER FAME ***..LOL


narcis

Tyra is a f*cking COON anyway, shucking and jiving for white folks while sucking her white mans ***!!! All of her exposure and all she does is exploit Black people instead of uplift, that *** is nothing but a cracka in Black face!!!


RedDragon

GUCCIBAG@YOU SOUND SO IGNORANT...TWO OF THE BIGGEST COON SELLOUTS TO THE BLACK RACE ARE OPRAH WINFREY AND BILL COSBY..AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS LIGHT SKINNED...AND FYI, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR SHADE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE SLAVEMASTER CONSIDERS YOU A NYGGER..BOTTOM LINE..I'M LIGHT BRIGHT *** NEAR WHITE AND I HAVE MORE PRIDE FOR MY RACE THAN SOME OF YOU WANNABE NEGROES ANY DAY...ELEVATE YOUR MIND DUMMY..


RedDragon

@CUGGIBAG..AND BY THE WAY, THERE'S NOT ONLY DARK SKINNED PEOPLE IN AFRICAN, THERE'S ALL SHADES OF BLACK PEOPLE..FROM HIGH YELLOW TO DARK CHOCOLATE..BOY WHITEY'S GOT YALL TRAINED WELL......


RedDragon

@NARCIS..REAL TALK...AND THE STANK WANTS TO BE WHITE ANY WAY...LOOK AT HOW COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHE LOOKS NOW COMPARED TO BACK IN THE DAY..I HAVEN'T SEEN HER WITH A BRAID IN HER HAIR SINCE THE NINETIES....WHITE-WASHED..IT'S DISGUSTING...


Safari1

I'll take y'all word for it...don't feel like watching all this mess.....and that's pretty much the feeling I have about her show.


sun_dried_roses

BOOOOOO! WE WANT JENNY JONES! WE WANT SALLY! WE WANT RICKI LAKE! WE WANT MAURY!



moneyhungry

Now thats a *** shame

He doesn't even see the problem

Tyra is just as fake as her lacefronts

I knew I didn't like her for a reason...

Anyone that doubts that her controlling *** doesn't know what's going on is smoking crack


moneyhungry

And this bish has won two Emmys for lying

Did Oprah teach her that too?

WTF?


Dreayonn

Yea it's called ratings.


MamiSoooPrecious06

fu.ck tyra and fu.ck her show. at least wit maury u can TELL that *** was fake it was just for laughs.


narcis

Agreed @ RedDragon

Not everyone with power is MENTALLY STRONG!!!


customcalendars4u2

Her job is not to produce,but she will find if she wants Oprah status then she has to be involved at every level of running a successful show and she doesn't have the time for that,because she has all these other business ventures. There's no way she can know if the people working for her has her talk shows best interest at heart OR IF THEY'VE BEEN HIRED TO PURPOSELY RUIN THE SHOW.... 4u2.com


colleen33

that means that tyra using black people for her own purpost. How come she dont use white people, because she knows that's what she think she is.

LubMeSumWhiteMans

It is an embarassment to be born or associated with this race of people.

Girl! If you only knew hwow I felt and how I look at these people sometimes when I walk arounhd them.

I cant even bare to stand in the same place as them for minutes on end. I feel that I just have to get out and breather the fresh air that isnt inhabited by them at times!

I swear my own black people get on my nerves!


VicDamone

sxylitenig

people take things people say on talk shows as the truth, these people need to make better decisions and refuse to say or do things what will make them look the fool


zoidcite

all talks shows and reallity shows do that, no big deal.

i can't believe MTO said he's a popular actor, now that's funny.


India_Elle

I still love Tyra..MTO always trying to throw my girl under the bus! Her show empowers young teens and regardless of what the allegations may be..she's much more informative to the black community than Wendy Wakcy. Her show just talks about celeb gossip. Team TYRAA all the way!


BRittanyMaChelle

please this is not new ppl have been doing this since talk shows were first invented do you think all those ppl sleep with they sister cousins mother-in-law baby daddy on Jerry Springer uh-no plus they showed behind the scenes on that show and the ppl were telling them to act crazier and Tyra love money so she is not above anything that gets her a dollar FREE SCRUNCHIES FOR EVERYBODY LOL [ONLY TYRA]


reignbow

I'm so glad I am not dedicated to this show.


iminaji

***. tyra is forever a fraud. people shoulda known that!


lilbuddhameditation

Yes alot of talk shows pay actors. But i aint letn tyra off the hook. Simply bcuz she always sayin she keeps it real. Imma wear my real hair. Ima keep it real. Imma start doin real topics. Blah blah blah. Now ya kno the *** is a fraud.


simplysuckerfree

well if she did it thats wrong but so what mto makes up *** alll the time and there always exposes blk ppl


POLITICK

***; if that's the case why is he not in college now; lets get real his azz is washed up and now everybody is trying to come-up on her fame..............STOP THE HATE TYRA IS GREAT...........AND THE ONLY REASON MEDIATAKEOUT IS PUTTING THIS OUT IS BECAUSE THAT TRANNY OF A HOST WENDY WILLAMS HAS STAKE IN THE COMPANY......SAVE IT BECAUSE YOUR NOT FOOLING ME.........SELL OUTS


ShoujoOtaku

I don't have time for daytime talk shows. I've seen that Wendy Williams show - it's ***. She should go back to radio. I mean the show really is ***. Have you ever seen the Soup on the E! channel where Joel McHale rags on her. It's funny and completly true. @RealRoxane - I completely agree with you all the way, but be careful about the term Hitler. He has done horrible things against humanity. Tyra is just a fluke. Please find a different reference insult. Are we cool? Not starting any ***, Tyra sucks completely, but she is no Hitler.


ShoujoOtaku

@prissy3 - she's syndicated. She's on different channels throughout the country. She's on KONG16 in Seattle, an affiliate of KING5 which is an affiliate of NBC. I'm not insulting you, really.



ShoujoOtaku

DON'T RESPOND TO MS.WHITE09. SHE IS GETTING A CHEAP THRILL OFF OF THIS ***. HAVE ANY OF YOU NOTICED THAT SHE ONLY POSTS ON TOPICS THAT INVOLVE BLACK PEOPLE WRAPPED UP IN A BUNCH OF DRAMA? DON'T GIVE YOURSELF CARPAL TUNNEL OVER HER. AT THAT WHITE MAN LOVER OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING WITH A WHITE MAN, BUT IT IS A CRYING *** SHAME TO TEAR DOWN AND DENY YOUR BLACK HERITAGE.


ShoujoOtaku

@butterflykisses88 - triple, quadruple dog dare her!


SoSerious4life

I don't like Tyra, or Oprah! It's getting to the point where I just don't even want to watch TV anymore. Black people are willing to do anything, just because white people are doing it.


rainbowkiid

NO I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!! I HOPE IT IS THA PRODUCERS AHHHH

PrettiestMamiiAlive

most of the talk shows are fake anyway so why is this a surprise


Taneyapair87

SMFH! TYRA WTF! I MEAN IS ANYBODY LOYAL AT ALL THESE DAYS FAKE *** I HOPE ITS THE PRODUCERS


damnshesweet

want the TRUTH about the Tyra show? Check out my Blog

[link to external website removed]

I was just there Monday-Tuesday and the episode that I'm on Airs Oct 5th @ 4pm on the CW


TheRealBeYAWNce

I already knew the show was fake.

What I don't get is, why everyone wants to come out all of a sudden? Why did they go on the show and say all that stupid *** if they were so against it?


Normal1C

Having this come from a black person (like Tyra) this is sad.


Normal1C

Yeah, you're tough. That's why you are hiding behind a computer. DUMB @SS.@MsWhite09


HandsomeStallion

Most talk shows are staged anyway. Long are the days of Ricki Lake where, as trashy as it was, at least the guest were real.


Normal1C

Post a link to your social networking proile or pictures. But you won't. Because you are afraid. I bet you kiss so much black @ss in real life.@MsWhite09


ssxxysam

SHES A FAKE


blkone

No surprise. I think a good 80% of talk show contestants are faking.

harlemnbrooklynrelle

Lmao @ ms white she is a loser. As far as the topic @ hand we all know that all talk shows do this so when mto gonna put the rest of them on blast


harlemnbrooklynrelle

Wonder what rock ms white has been under because she sounds like an uneducated fool. I wonder where she works because everywhere you look there are people of different colors shape and sizes. She's probably gets on the internet @ the library because with that attitude she doesn't have any money. Lmao


NicNasty032

just because somebody asks you to do something, you're going to do it? ***


sidity_chick

...OK, now when are we gonna put Jerry Springer on blast?? Itz shameful, what we do to eachother. How do U kno Tyra even knew about this b4 the show? Still love her show. Get it Tyra!


psilentstorm

Who's surprised that Tyra would be party to this mess? I'm surely not! Her record on some of the things she's said about Black men speaks for itself.


jan_sexy87

I think da show is fake as da ppl who help with it, people do anything for money until they realize they been got by producers that's when da truth come out.


skyneska

She knew. It's 'her' show - and she has the last word however, she is very open to pointing the fingers at the producers for safety. You think Oprah doesn't know what's going to happen on her show??? It's all a hoax. Just ask Maury, Jerry Springer and some of these other shows. They ALWAYS have a pre-script ready for the guests. They don't want the show to be without some issues and be able to gain some numbers. And unfortunately, black people seem to be the targets of portrayed ignorance.


brittbreezytm

wow it sound so genuine but i still love tyra


mzlisa

THATS WHY I CANT STAND HER
