Talk show host Tyra Banks is being sued for $3 million by Beverly McClendon, the angry mother of a teen sex addict, a 15 year-old girl who reportedly appeared on the “Tyra Banks Show” without her permission.



The girl, who has not been diagnosed as a sex addict, answered to an online casting call for teen sex addicts on Tyra’s website. The show’s producers flew her all the way from Georgia to New York and installed her in a hotel without her mother’s knowledge and consent.


According to Beverly, the 2009 show “was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles” and violated her daughter’s right to privacy. The teen girl was also paid for her appearance on the show, but they didn’t get permission from the labor commissioner to “employ” her.


Tyra seems to be in big trouble. The angry mother wants $1 million in compensatory damages, $2 million in punitive damages and asks the court to ban the episode featuring her daughter to air again on TV or online.
