Tyra Banks displays fuller bikini body scandal

She was once one of the world's most successful supermodels, strutting her lithe frame down the catwalk for the biggest designers.

But model turned TV host Tyra Banks appears to have relaxed her attitude when it comes to keeping in camera-ready shape as she showed off a much fuller figure yesterday.

The 37-year-old America's Next Top Model host, who once measured 35-23-35, proudly displayed her voluptuous curves in a bright purple two-piece as she lounged poolside in Mexico with her long-term boyfriend John Utendahl.

At one point the star had to readjust her tiny bikini to ensure she didn't embarrassingly expose herself.


The couple. who have been dating for several years, cooled off in the pool and sunbathed in front of their luxurious accommodations.

Tyra also kept her face protected from the sun's harmful rays with a wide brimmed floppy straw hat.

Tyra recently revealed to People Magazine that her weight has fluctuated between 148 and 162 pounds since she quit modelling in 2005.

In 2006 she was famously photographed, again in a bathing suit, looking much curvier than her usual lean and toned self.

She swiftly came out in defence of curvy women at the time, saying on The Tyra Banks Show: 'To all of you who have something nasty to say to me or to women built like me. I have one thing to say to you: Kiss my fat a**!"

But the star has had several issues in her personal life which could have attributed to her fluctuating weight.

Alongside a busy work schedule, Tyra has been dealing with troublesome legal problems relating to a stalker.

Earlier this year she was granted a temporary restraining order against her 'mentally unstable stalker' Marten Williams Jr.

In documents filed at LA County Superior Court by her attorney, Evan Spiegel, the supermodel-turned-talk show host states: 'I am in fear from Mr Williams for my personal safety, and that of those around me, including my family and employees.'

The model also claimed the man had a history of mental illness - and that he believes 'he killed George Bush Jr. and that Michael Jackson is alive and well and living in Long Beach'.

In addition, she claimed 39-year-old - who is 6'2" and 220lb - left several 'ominous frightening letters and items' at her home, including his prescription medication, L.A. County jail wristbands and a note referencing a wedding ceremony set for 1/08/11 - the day he believes he and Tyra are set to marry.

She alleged that Williams has 'targeted and harassed and stalked' her and her family for the past four years.

U.S. website TMZ reports that Williams had been arrested just earlier this month for trespassing on Tyra's Beverly Hills property.

At the time Williams told police he was bringing Tyra 'offerings.'

He was later placed on a 5150 psychiatric hoTautanld, but Tyra's people believe he may have already been released.

In the documents Tyra requested that Williams stayed at least 100 yards away from her and her family.
