In 2009, when Tyra opened up to Oprah about the relationship, she said that this was especially true: "He never hit me, but I would say there were blows to my spirit, blows to my emotional well-being every day." But anyone who has ever endured verbal abuse by a loved one knows that emotional wounds don't have physical scars.
And it took so many different friends and family for me to finally say goodbye to him."įrom the outside, looking in, even the most turbulent storms in a relationship can go unnoticed. Tyra says that while her ex caused a great deal of trauma in her life, she realized that her emotional wound was much deeper than her current relationship, it was a reflection of her self-esteem: "There were things that he said and made me feel like, I couldn't leave, or if I left I had to go back. I once read that the amount of abuse you tolerate from others is indicative of the abuse you tolerate from yourself and I see no lies. I was in a relationship for many years, and we probably broke up fourteen/fifteen times." Come on, like what are you doing, leave him, I don't get it.' Until I experienced it myself. She explained: "I remember being kind of judgmental for women that were in bad relationships. In a recent episode of TV One's Uncensored, the 45-year-old supermodel opened up about how a toxic relationship in her 20s turned her into a person that she no longer recognized. Sometimes words can hurt just as bad (or worse) than sticks and stones, and the supermodel says she didn't come to this realization until she experienced the trauma of being with a verbally abusive partner firsthand. Being in love hit different when you know who you are, and Tyra Banks learned this at the hands of an emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend.
