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.
Wow, that’s terrific for her!
I see Clark is still a hateful twit. Good for Isis but I hope this doesn’t mean she’ll be indentured to Tyra for enabling this to happen because we all know Tyra will milk this for all it’s worth. I’m pretty sure it’s part of the reason that Fatima declined the surgery that Tyra offered one time on the show. Isis is also rumored to be negotiating a deal to become one of the faces for Diddy’s Sean John line.
Good for Isis. I saw the preview clip where she was crying, and I felt so glad that she’s getting her dream.
Tyra has done good.
hey Isis this is Rosie in NYC. I think you are one stunning young woman and I am saddened that you got the boot early on. But I am glad to hear your dream is becoming a reality. NYC Loves ya girl.
