Tyra Banks says she is insulted by internet rumours saying she moved to New York to be with a new boyfriend. According to internet gossipers, the former model moved her talk show from Los Angeles to the New York City because she is allegedly dating 50-year-old investment banker John Utendahl. But Tyra, 34, pours cold water on that theory in the upcoming issue of Essence magazine, saying: “I’m very insulted by that rumour. I employ a lot of people; their livelihoods rest on my shows. The move to New York was a decision I made with my manager. It was not about a man.”
Meanwhile, despite fame and fortune, Tyra says she’s a bird in a gilded cage. “I’d go to work [on 'The Tyra Banks Show'], and women would be crying in my arms,” dishes the talk show princess. “But then I’d go home and put my key in my door and … nothing. No friends, no husband, no children. I feel so full when I’m at work but so empty when I come home.”
Aww…poor little rich girl!

I’m still shocked that she gave her employees, who moved with her to NY with her and the show, not a Christmas bonus, but a party at some dive bar, and fed them McDonald’s. A rep for Tyra, told In-Touch magazine, the the [McDonalds] burgers weren’t meant as gifts. “It is not true. Cheeseburgers were provided as a late-night snack for the staff at the party.”
That says enough about her as needs to be said.

^^^ Exactly what I thought! She’s worried what total strangers think about her but not her staff?? Take care of those who take care of you (and don’t feed them cheap garbage!!)

That’s rather sad. I’m kind of surprised she admits this. I’ll be your friend Tyra. I like cheeseburgers.

^^^ Granny you’re so funny. I am surprised she admits that too… I know it’s very true, cause I feel like that when I travel for my work, you can be on top of the world but without family/friends you’re just… there in a 5 star hotel room but it’s just a room with 4 walls in it… I got you guys though
lol.

She looks fierce!
Kind of sad regarding that comment of her being lonely. I hope she finds someone to love and have kids with.
