WWW- On today’s episode of “The Tyra Banks Show,” the supermodel finally gets a chance to grill the adult entertainment star who has made a living off of looking exactly like her.
During the taped segment, Tyra Banks confronts the infamous Tyra Banxxx, who first became known to the real Banks when she appeared on the cover of adult industry magazine, Xtreme.
“For a second I was like, ‘Did they put my head on someone else’s body?’ I thought that it really did look like me,” she told Banxxx, whose real name is Alana. “The first thing that went through my head… It wasn’t anger, it was more of a curiosity, and an empathy like, ‘Where does this girl come from… And what led her to this?'”
On the show, Banxxx tells Banks: “Growing up, everyone always said I should be a model and everyone said I looked like you… You’re an inspiration to me.”
Banks later declares that she is “taking back her name” and convinces Banxxx (via the threat of legal action) to quit the porn biz and find a more conservative way to make a living.
