There’s no such thing as TMI for Tyra Banks.
The former America’s Next Top Model star, 51, confessed she has a “disgusting and erotic” habit while chatting with Jenna Bush Hager on the latest Jenna and Friends segment on the July 31 episode of Today.
It turns out, the supermodel has a penchant for picking toes and popping pimples, and she’s open to helping anyone out in need. In fact, she insists.
“I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don’t mind digging it out,” she admitted to her temporary co-host. She’s not just barehanding toe gunk, though. “…I have a kit,” she clarified. “You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!”
Disinfectant is a must when she’s digging out “toe jam,” which she described as “sometimes…different colors.”
“Sometimes it’s brown, sometimes it’s green,” she recalled.
She added, “And then, a pimple? If you had a pimple, I would be staring at you.”
Anybody in her house is an open target, from her mother to her friends to her son to her “man,” Louis Bélanger-Martin, whom she’s been linked to since 2018.
She called her “addiction” both “disgusting and erotic,” telling Bush Hager, “It touches those parts of me.” That said, anyone’s “nether regions” are off limits. “If somebody’s like, ‘Oh, can you check this?’ I’m like, ‘No … that’s where I draw the line.’ Chest up and knees down? It’s on. I’m not popping and picking nothing [in that area].”
