Banks Will Pay for Top Model Contestant's Sex Change

'This is not happening,' cries Isis King

Share

(Newser) – Tyra Banks shocked a former America's Next Top Model contestant by offering to pay for her sex change, the New York Daily News reports. Transgendered Isis King, booted off the show for flunking a poolside photo shoot, was stunned when Banks said a doctor will operate pro bono. "This is not happening," cried King on the Tyra Banks Show episode, slated to air tomorrow night.
