Mind The Gap: Model Dani Evans Responds To The Tyra Banks Backlash Over Resurfaced ‘ANTM' Clip (Video) (via Bossip)
With the controversy taking over the internet, Dani Evans decided it was time to put in her two cents. The 34-year-old model said she did not feel like commenting on the situation was necessary when contacted by news outlets, but once she read Woods’ post, she felt like she needed to share her side of the story.
Evans explained the behind-the-scenes events that led up to Banks’ comments, revealing that all the contestants were sent to the dentist in small groups. When she arrived, she told the doctor she just wanted a cleaning and a whitening, but was repeatedly asked if she wanted to close her gap. Evans declined, even though the gap was something that used to make her cry when she was a child, since her family couldn’t afford braces to close it.
“So Tyra says to me, ‘If I send you back to the dentist, will get your gap closed?’ And I meet her with another question: ‘So, what you’re saying is, if I tell you no, you’re gonna send me home tonight?'” According to Dani, she and Tyra went back and forth until she finally agreed to partially close the gap.
“I was not going to allow something that is physical on my face to stop me from getting out to make a better life for myself …” she said. “Nothing or no one was going to stand in my way. And it wasn’t about copping out, it was about understanding what really carries weight and holds value in my life—and teeth wasn’t one of them.”
