Tyra Banks Hits Back At Oprah Winfrey Competition Claims
Tyra Banks has hit back at claims that she is in competition with Oprah Winfrey, saying it is "impossible" to rival her amount of success.
The America's Next Top Model judge sat down for a question and answer session at Harvard's Business School where she has ditched the limelight to take a course.
Addressing the comparisons between her and TV talk show queen Oprah, Tyra said: "The comparisons are extremely flattering, impossible to live up to and inconsistent with my goals."
Tyra also explained why she decided to head back to college when she is already incredibly successful. "There's a difference between a career and a business. I'm not looking to build my company based on fans. It's not about being the biggest, but being the best."
Speaking about her personality differs from the way she is portrayed on ANTM, Tyra said: "I wish I was hard. I have armour, but a strategic knife can still get in those creases. It's okay to be vulnerable. Things don't always have to be perfect."
Does Tyra have what it takes to become the next Oprah?
