Eugena opened up about being a contestant on ANTM while appearing on the Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

After admitting she and Tyra, 47, \u201cdon\u2019t get along,\u201d Eugena said: \u201cShe doesn’t like me. I don’t like her. We’ve never liked each other and that’s that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I saw her and she tried to kick my a** every single elimination because I wasn’t scared of her.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI was there to learn from her and talk to her and she was my hero. And I really looked up to her. So to be nervous and scared, I was like, \u2018It’s not that there’s an opportunity for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBut other girls were drinking the Kool-Aid and singing to her and kissing her a**.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eugena- who was the second runner-up on Season 7- claimed \u201cTyra needs people to kiss her a**\u201d and said the host tried to \u201chumble\u201d her but it was \u201ctoo late because I am who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cWe had our power struggles and she’s got a flexible power on me all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>‘SHOWDOWN’<\/span><\/h2>\n

The former ANTM contestant alleged that every elimination ceremony was a \u201cshowdown\u201d between her and Tyra, claiming: “She was always going to say some f**k shit to me that made me mad or pissed me off or trying to make me look stupid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that they were choosing all of my worst images so she could talk s**t.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>‘NOT HONORABLE’<\/span><\/h2>\n

The model then slammed Tyra for trying to \u201chumble\u201d her, stating that her intentions were \u201cnot honorable\u201d and instead about the host\u2019s \u201cown insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cFor me, coming in and having the confidence that I had and for her mission to be to humble me was f**ked up because she knows how, how detrimental that is for a young girl at that time, especially going into this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if why she thinks Tyra decided to pick on her, Eugena said: \u201cI think it was her turn to try to bully somebody cause she felt bullied. And I think that she wanted it to be me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reiterating that Tyra is \u201cinsecure,\u201d the former TV personality continued: \u201cIt’s very possible that she saw my potential and saw what I could be.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she also saw my, my confidence in being it. And she also saw something she probably did not have and probably needed to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>‘LITERAL PTSD’<\/span><\/h2>\n

Eugena claimed the way Tyra treated her on the show still haunts her today, sharing: \u201cI don’t know any b***h who’s done something to me in my life that I could take 10 years from now and still want to have a conversation with her about it as if I’m still hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, she admitted to having \u201cliteral PTSD\u201d from the experience.<\/p>\n

<\/span>TYRA VS. NAOMI<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another bombshell allegation made by Eugena during the podcast appearance is that Tyra is \u201cdeathly afraid\u201d of Naomi Campbell, 57.<\/p>\n

Eugena claimed: \u201cShe shakes in her boots against Naomi Campbell and Naomi Campbell just sits there.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI don’t know what Naomi Campbell really did to that girl, but she can’t handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The model said Tyra\u2019s fear of Naomi is \u201cso sad\u201d because the TV personality \u201ccreated her own lane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eugena added: \u201cNo one could take America’s Next Top Model away from her period. Like she created this global phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n
