Did anyone see this yet? It was posted on the livejournal

...And the list goes on and on. I bet Tyra and Saleisha were personal friends before the show, and not just acquaintances.

[Hot Mess 10023]

it's a given Saleisha won't be stripped of her title nor the money.
the only redemption to the other girls and viewers is that Saleisha is tainted in reputation and the title, along with Tyra, Ken Mok and her company.
it might even have present sponsors disassociate themselves with Tyra and Co. i mean there is some reprecussion that came out of this.

What I WOULD like to see result from all of this is stricter regulation for reality shows similar to those found in gameshows. If there's a monetary (or value) prize at the end, there needs to be better regulation and if this controversy moves us closer to accomplishing that, then great...

She should have know she would've gotten heat for it, and she shouldn't try hiding anything now that it's out in the open.

That's all her being greedy. She's friends with Tyra, so she could have some connections to model. Why would she need the show if it wasn't the publicity that she wanted and couldn't get even through connections? Going after her dream is a good thing, but is it nice to take away other's dream so she could get hers? She could reject the invitation to audition, but the greed got into her. Serve her right! Bite more than she can chew.

THAT IS SCANDALOUS! TWICE ON TYRA'S TALK SHOW!

This is such a conspiracy, and I love how Tyra's camp is staying hum. I bet things will come out more into the surface come this week. I don't know. LieLie might talk about this on her show.

Also, don't give me, "Well, she avoided the situation in the interview, so she's fake!" Any smart girl would do what she did in this situation. All of it is truly Tyra's fault.

No, I don't know her personally.
From the show and her interview, that is what I see of her, and that is what we have to go on. Nothing can change my mind about that. I am not persuading anyone to agree with me, it's just how I see it.

Some say she is cute or nice, it's not a fact either, you guys don't know her personally as well. Calling her cute or nice is an assumption and personal opinion.

Therefore I have as much a right to say that she's fake just as much as you guys can say that she's "oh my gosh cover girl!! bubbly cute!"

And I believe that it's both Tyra's and Saleisha's fault. It's Tyra fault for bringing Saleisha in the competition and Saleisha's for agreeing to be in it. Saleisha is not exactly 100% clean and an angel either.

One of her absolute responsibilities as a show producer is to check the contestants' past to make sure that the show do not represent people with some shady incidents.

Of course Saleisha is a different story. In this xase I blame Tyra the most as a producer. She just thought that she can do whatever she wants because it's her show.

I wasn't happy with Saleisha's win but again I put the responsibility on Tyra.

I can't wait for Tyra's response. With all this Ineternet buzz I'm sure the show producer HAS to address the issue somehow.

[TunaFests]

I will say this in Tyra's defense. I think she really does care about the girls and she really tries to give the title to a girl who would probably be overlooked (Jaslene, Adrianne, Yoanna, Dani, Sal). I don't think she wants to cast those plain girls that can be models right away I think she wants strong looks.

[sleepybum]

I think we should all email tyra or contact her via her show to tell her what we think about scandaleisha lol

[spellboundboy]

It was like that. Saleisha was CERTAINLY NOT overlooked if she had a pretty decent career starting up prior to the show.

This is REALLY fishy.

Does anyone else think Pugpix might be involved with this???
