A RIOT ENSUES AT THE TOP MODEL CASTING IN NEW YORK CITY

And the hair weaves were flying….

Total chaos erupted at Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model casting event on Saturday afternoon which resulted in arrests and injuries. Sources say the panic began when someone saw a smoking car which led to people saying that there was a fire and that someone had a gun.  A stampede ensued which sent people to the hospital and three people to jail.

Police are saying had the producers of Top Model called for assistance beforehand, they could have avoided the riot that involved the 10,000 hopefuls.  Even New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg weighed in saying, "You’ve just got to, in advance, arrange for security."

    I loved the video of all this craziness so much, I blogged about it too: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=445

    I’m really into the fact that it was the 5’7″ crew as opposed to the usual amazons who went nuts. Those li’l ladies are scrappy!

    Too black and too fat. Those NYC hoodrats are wasting the show’s time and our time. That riot was caused by BFA – black female attitude. Had nothing to do with a car backfiring or anything else.
