Tyra Admits She Was In Abusive Relationship

By Deborah Bennett, Senior Editor March 12, 2009 10:37 am

Daytime talk-show host, Tyra Banks will devote her entire show to discuss the topic of teen dating abuse tomorrow, the same day she appears on Oprah’s talk show dedicated to domestic violence. Tyra will reveal that she was the victim of “emotional abuse” in a relationship.

Click here to find out how to break free from domestic violence.

Here’s an excerpt from Tyra’s show:

Tyra says: “I dated a guy once years ago and he told me that he has this thing where he likes to break a woman down and then that makes him feel more in control. …. When I was in my emotionally abusive relationship … I’ll never forget I woke up in this hotel room in New York City and I just called him and I said, ‘I’m done.’ And I heard in his voice that he knew it was true and he just felt like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s telling the truth this time.’ And when you’re done you know you’re done.”

Read about another celebrity who was in an abusive relationship here.

    her silly self was in a verbally abusive relationship. A woman whose been making bank since the age of 16, chose to let a man VERBALLY abuse her. She wouldn’t allow a woman to do it, why when u are so successful allow a man to do it? I have no sympathy, this is just another stupid choice made by another woman and yet we are all suppose to be all “sad” by it. No just how she likes to tell people str8 up, i can keep it str8 up. LADIES STOP BEING WEAK!

    There is no where in the Bible that Jesus Hit A Woman!! Let the facts come out first before we rush to judgement! Amen
    The problem is a man does not understand his role in life! A man must Sumit to God to have a understand of himself then he can understand others!! Watch the Bible!! 1st Corinthians chapter 7

    I’ve been in different types of abusive relationships(verbal,emotional,physical) , and none of them were good. When you start to get tired of hitting your head up against that brick wall , you WILL know when you have had enough. Walking away is the hardest thing to do , especially if you have children by this person , but if you care about life and want to live for your babies , then you will get up , even if it’s with the clothes you have on your back, you will do what you have to and walk out that door and not even think twice about looking back……I wish Rihanna would do the same and leave Chris Brown alone .Because in a situation like that , the outcome is never good , especially when they have a firm grip on your heart, but I do wish them the best and hope that it doesn’t happen to her again , or anyone else, and I hope this touches someone and gives them the guts they need to walk away.
