Tyra Banks managed to gross out Jenna Bush Hager and the studio audience with her on-air confession Monday that she ‘cleans’ food crumbs leftover on her bed at her Sydney home ‘by eating them.’
The 51-year-old supermodel-turned-presenter isn’t alone either as her mother Carolyn London and nine-year-old son York Banks Asla share her odd habits of eating ice cream and popcorn in bed, and whatever remains ‘a couple days later.’
‘A few days if it’s not super perishable,’ Tyra noted while guest-hosting TODAY with Jenna & Friends on Monday.
‘Like a popcorn? I mean, come on. That’s like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I’m not joking.’
Gagging, Jenna asked: ‘A week later you would go and eat that?’
‘Yeah, if I knew it was mine in my bed, yeah,’ Banks replied.

The two-time Daytime Emmy winner went on to explain that she does the same on her floor since she has a ‘no shoe rule’ and doesn’t want ‘roaches.’
‘I have a no shoe rule in my home so I can eat off my floor,’ Tyra stressed.
‘No, but I’m serious, I do that. But then I see my son doing it and I’m like, “Don’t do that!” And he’s like, “Mama, you do it!”‘
On the Jenna & Friends Instagram account, users were horrified like @randirobson who commented with a nauseated emoji: ‘Disgusting! Would never eat in bed and then eat the crumbs later.’
‘I eat in bed all the time,’ Instagram user @madijayne wrote. ‘But I’m not leaving popcorn in it for a few days.’
Instagram user @desalvoshirley commented: ‘No way do I want food in my bed! Yikes!’
Over on X, user @mozingo_84 posted a cringing meme.
‘Wow, Tyra eating crumbs off the floor is wild,’ X user @Bintmetax scoffed. ‘Definitely not a pest control hack I’d try!’
X user @blackgypsy71 posted a vomit emoji and simply wrote: ‘Nasty.’
The SMiZE & DREAM founder has four more days of grossing out Jenna as she is serving guest host duties all week.

Last May, Entertainment Weekly reported that Banks sat down for an interview for an upcoming Netflix docuseries about the making of America’s Next Top Model, which concluded in 2018 after 18 seasons.
And though he’d never admit it, RuPaul Charles has the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show catwalker to thank for the overall format of his own Emmy-winning, reality TV competition RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Tyra made history in 1996 as the first African-American model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue – and she returned for the covers in 1997, 2019, and 2024.
