Tyra Banks reveals dirty habit live on Today show leaving viewers feeling 'sick'
The 51-year-old supermodel-turned-presenter isn't alone either as her mother Carolyn London and nine-year-old son York Banks Asla share her odd habits of eating ice cream and popcorn in bed, and whatever remains 'a couple days later.'
'A few days if it's not super perishable,' Tyra noted while guest-hosting TODAY with Jenna & Friends on Monday.
'Like a popcorn? I mean, come on. That's like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I'm not joking.'
Gagging, Jenna asked: 'A week later you would go and eat that?'
'Yeah, if I knew it was mine in my bed, yeah,' Banks replied.
The two-time Daytime Emmy winner went on to explain that she does the same on her floor since she has a 'no shoe rule' and doesn't want 'roaches.'
'I have a no shoe rule in my home so I can eat off my floor,' Tyra stressed.
'No, but I'm serious, I do that. But then I see my son doing it and I'm like, "Don't do that!" And he's like, "Mama, you do it!"'
On the Jenna & Friends Instagram account, users were horrified like @randirobson who commented with a nauseated emoji: 'Disgusting! Would never eat in bed and then eat the crumbs later.'
'I eat in bed all the time,' Instagram user @madijayne wrote. 'But I'm not leaving popcorn in it for a few days.'
Instagram user @desalvoshirley commented: 'No way do I want food in my bed! Yikes!'
Over on X, user @mozingo_84 posted a cringing meme.
'Wow, Tyra eating crumbs off the floor is wild,' X user @Bintmetax scoffed. 'Definitely not a pest control hack I'd try!'
X user @blackgypsy71 posted a vomit emoji and simply wrote: 'Nasty.'
The SMiZE & DREAM founder has four more days of grossing out Jenna as she is serving guest host duties all week.

Tyra is next scheduled to guest star in the August 13th episode of HGTV makeover show Celebrity IOU hosted by Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott.
Last May, Entertainment Weekly reported that Banks sat down for an interview for an upcoming Netflix docuseries about the making of America's Next Top Model, which concluded in 2018 after 18 seasons.
And though he'd never admit it, RuPaul Charles has the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show catwalker to thank for the overall format of his own Emmy-winning, reality TV competition RuPaul's Drag Race.
Tyra made history in 1996 as the first African-American model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue - and she returned for the covers in 1997, 2019, and 2024.

Jamie Lee Curtis reveals the real reason behind the 22-year wait for Freaky Friday sequel
Jamie Lee Curtis has revealed the real reason behind the long 22-year wait for a sequel to Freaky Friday. The American actress, 66, starred alongside Lindsay Lohan in the now-smash hit 2003 comedy, which sees the two characters switch bodies, with hilarity ensuing. Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas - a whole 22 years on from the original. Now, Jamie Lee has revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie. Appearing on Wednesday's The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay, 39, was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, ''well she is'' and I was like ''what do you mean?'' because I know her as this young girl so I don't know how old she is. 'So someone told me and I was, like ''Oh! well maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!''' Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman. It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life. Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view. The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store. Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons). Harper highlights her disgust as she's heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister 'a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent'. They had to wait until Lindsay, 39, was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work [pictured Lindsay's on-screen daughter Julia Butters and Sophia Hammons] A flash forward to Anna's bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may learn another lesson by 'walking in each other's paths'. Anna and Tess then find themselves caught up in yet another 'freaky' body swap incident - only this time, it's not just between the two of them. The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess, aka 'Grandma', is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily. Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days to go until the wedding. Chad Michael Murray is also returning to his role as Jake as the two teenage girls also hatch a plot to try and get Anna to reunite with her first love amid the wedding chaos.

ESPN analyst left 'mortified' as he piles in on woke backlash to Sydney Sweeney's 'racist' American Eagle ad
One ESPN analyst claims they've been left 'mortified' by Sydney Sweeney 's controversial American Eagle advert. Last week, the company rolled out its fall commercial lineup featuring the 27-year-old in various poses and scenarios with the tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans'. The obvious reference to her 'genes' didn't sit well with many people on social media, who accused the ads of being a racial dog whistle. While many continue to debate about the advert online, ESPN analyst David Dennis Jr has weighed in on the matter and didn't pull any punches as he did so. Taking to social media, Dennis Jr wrote: 'I didn't think anything of the Sydney Sweeney ads. 'But then ACTUAL SCHOLARS ON MESSAGING, EUGENICS AND FASCISM explained what was going on then yes I understood and became pretty mortified because hey sometimes IT'S GOOD TO LISTEN TO EXPERTS'. The adverts have divided fans, with one critic calling the clip 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while.' The phrase 'great genes' is 'historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness,' which it said made 'this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move,' a Salon report on the backlash read. In a sarcastic post, Dennis Jr continued: 'I'm just happy that these AE ads are making it safe for conventionally attractive blue eyed blonde women to be accepted by society again. They're no longer the scourges of society they once were! FINALLY!' In a series of images, the Spokane, Washington-born beauty - who is set to play boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic already garnering Oscar buzz - is seen modeling a variety of denim-based ensembles. In an accompanying video, Sydney is seen buttoning up her jeans as she muses: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour... my genes are blue'. Alexandria Hurley, a Las Vegas-based publicist, speculated to that the idea to stir the pot was not a mistake at all. American Eagle Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers said the campaign is designed to be flashier than competitors' and features Sweeney as one of the most recognizable young stars of the moment 'From a PR perspective, what we're seeing from Sydney Sweeney isn't a 'misstep' or 'Pepsi moment.' It's a calculated brand evolution. The idea that this ad slipped through the cracks underestimates both her and her team,' she explained. Hurley went on to point out: 'Sydney has flirted with controversy before — from her SNL Hooters skit to her recent Bathwater Bliss collaboration with Dr. Squatch — and rather than walk it back after criticism, she's leaned further in. That's not oversight. That's strategy.' She also stressed that the 'Great Genes' tagline was 'deliberately' provocative and that the 'racial undertones being called out aren't subtle.' 'Instead of apologizing, she and American Eagle quickly pivoted with a visual 'fix,' having her paint over the billboard. It's a gesture that looks performative at best, especially in the absence of any direct acknowledgement of the criticism,' Hurley stated.
