See, I agree that Karlie doesn't deserve any kind of hate. However, I'm just saying that I highly doubt she'll become a household name, or achieve longevity; better models than Karlie have come and gone without achieving Tyra's level of fame/fortune. Therefore it's silly to compare them. Models fade, it's a sad fact, Karlie will likely go through the same thing (although I wish her the best because she seems perfectly lovely). No one will remember our names because no one knows our names, we're not trying to make it in the entertainment business. Let's not attribute a status to models which is higher than what they deserve. We shouldn't think models are better than us just because they make money from their looks, they still have to live in the real world, and most of the time we as the general public are in a better position than models who are has beens at the age of 25. Another thing you have to realize is that America's next top model (which is now in it's 17th cycle), is not about making models. It's about fueling Tyra's ego and keeping her in the public eye via television because she's now retired from modelling. I don't think Karlie will ever achieve Tyra's level of fame because her look won't be accepted by the mainstream public (her beauty is quirky and not as sexy or classical as Tyra's). Tyra is successful because of her amazing looks and personality. Despite what people say and think of her, she turned her success into something the modelling world has never seen. She and Heidi Klum are media moguls which can't be said for most supermodels let alone todays models. You can fawn over Karlie's pictures all you want but facts are facts, Tyra has something that today's models don't. Tyra should be mature and realize you can't ridicule young models, especially since she has gone through the same struggle period herself and she mentors young women and is an aspirational figure to most. She should act like an adult (She's in Harvard business school for God's sake), but at the end of the day, she's earned her stripes. What she did wasn't even that bad, it's just Karlie fans making it into a big deal.
