Isis King, the ground-breaking contestant on Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model will be on Monday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show. Isis recently underwent her gender reassignment surgery and is going to talk about that experience.
“It’s almost like I was supposed to have it,” Isis tells Tyra. “Although it was swelling and bruising and everything, automatically I felt more comfortable. I was ready to walk around the house in my little shorts. I just felt more confident.”
Isis’s boyfriend, Desmond came on the show to support her. He also does the most amazing thing during filming - watch the video to see!
I’m so happy for Isis! I’m glad the surgery was successful and that she has a supportive and loving fiance who helped her through it! Congratulations Isis and I wish you all the best.

Tomorrow on The Tyra Banks Show, Isis talks about her issues as a transgendered person and as a model. Dr. Marci Bowers makes an appearance, according to Just Jared, and offers to pay for Isis’s surgey. Rumors are flying that it is Tyra who offered, but according to a rep from the show, that information is false.
Throughout her stint on ANTM, Isis was very open and honest about her situation and frankly admitted the only thing holding her back from the surgery was the cost. Gender reassignment surgery can cost upwards of $300,000.
If you want to see this big revelation, or just to see Isis on Tyra’s show, be sure to tune in tomorrow! You can see the preview here.
