Danielle Evans won ANTM in 2006, however she had quite the traumatic time on the show when Tyra Banks made her have the gap between her teeth closed up.<\/p>\n
During Reality Check: Inside America\u2019s Next Top Model, Tyra does formally apologise to Danielle for the procedure, saying: “I\u2019ve actually apologized for the issue with Dani and what happened. That was between a rock and a hard place for me.”<\/p>\n
As for why she thought Danielle should undergo the procedure, Tyra explained:\u00a0 “There were agents that would tell me she will not work with those teeth, it’s just not going to happen.<\/p>\n
“That’s what they told me. I could\u2019ve just been quiet and let them handle it. Hindsight is 20\/20 for all of us. It just so happens that a lot of the things that are 20\/20 for me happened in front of the world.”<\/p>\n
ANTM winner Danielle Evans then reacted to Tyra’s apology, and it’s safe to say it understandably didn’t go down well.<\/p>\n
She slammed: “Bull f*cking sh*t. Me getting my gap closed is not opening any doors for me. You knew what you were doing for the show. You were making it good for TV, at my expense.”<\/p>\n
She also spoke out about another clip in which Chelsey Hersely was required to get a gap widened in her teeth, despite Danielle having her closed entirely.<\/p>\n
She reacted: “People have told me one season that she got a gap created in a girl\u2019s mouth. Girl, that is absolutely ridiculous. What?”<\/p>\n
