Paulina Porizkova Fired from ANTM

Paulina Porizkova will be appearing on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight on CBS and she will reveal some really big news – that she was fired from America’s Next Top Model.

“Listen, do you know why I am in Los Angeles…because I am looking for a job,” Paulina tells Craig when she stops by. “Because I was fired by America’s Next Top Model on my birthday.”

Paulina says the reason she was fired was pretty vague. “The reason I was told I was fired was because, it seemed that America’s Next Top Model has gotten too fat and they needed to cut some fat and the fat was me,” she said.

She also mentions that the producers told her she has an ego problem, which contributed to her firing.

“So I figured it was either that or my gigantic huge ego. Which I wasn’t aware of until I was told by the producers that I have an ego problem,” she said.

Paulina and Craig have known each other a long time and her visits to his show are always filled with laughs. I guess I’ll have to watch tonight to see what happens. Paulina will reveal more about ANTM and her big phone conversation with the producers. I can’t believe they let her go on her birthday.

Tune in to The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight at 12:30am EST on CBS to watch!

Update: Below is a video of Paulina’s appearance on the show last night.

Who would you like to see replace Paulina?

    Paulina Porizkova is the Most Beautiful Supermodel. Paulina is a Superstar Model in Paris at age 15. Paulina sidestepped all the Ford Models because her European beauty transcends perfection and Her face is Flawless. Tyra has big forehead and jealous. Am just sad that most women who are insecure and average hate Paulina.

    I had no problem with Paulina. I have always held the belief that the girls were too old by modeling standards 90% of girls start at 15. So how is a 22/26 year old going to compet

    Thank GOD, it’s about time. Paulina was such a bad judge, she never gave a relevant critique. Good riddance. Bring back Twiggy or Janice!!

    I completely agree.. antm is so over. all the copies are sooo much better, australias,bntm, nzntm, and from all of them is defenitily the best germany’s next top model.
    and about paulina.. I simply liked her.. for me she was waaay better then twiggy.

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
    Paulina? Fired?
    What the hell..
    MAKE HER the host of ANTM.
    Who has an ego problem?
    Ms Banks.. cough cough?
    oh my god….
    i was about to type, bring paulina back,
    but im so over antm.
    im so sick of know-it-all ego-crazy tyra

    Iliked Paulina, most of those girls deserved the “mean” comments. If they didn’t need to improve, then they’d have a contract already.

    I won’t miss Paulina because I won’t be watching ANTM anymore. This is just another reason ANTM is amping up their mediocrity! Make Me A Supermodel rocks compared to it. Thanks Tyra for pounding that last nail in the “I couldn’t care less about ANTM” coffin.

    P.S. I loved Paulina!

    hmm.
    although im shocked, im not totally surprised but i can’t believe she only lasted 3 cycles…
    maybe they wont have another judge.
    but to be fair, mr. jay does nothing to top model what so ever.
    i want to see a designer, or someone who once worked in the fashion market, not just as a model/photographer.

    Thank goodness. She was boring. She never had any good insight. As much as Janice was a bitch, i loved her. She was entertaining.

    Paulina really was a little bland but she was okay. She tried to be the “mean” judge but she had huge shoes to fill (Janice’s) and ANTM just wasn’t the right thing for her. I never looked forward to seeing her.

    Twiggy was… a nice person, sure. And a great model back then. But as an ANTM judge she failed. I mean, just saying “The camera loves you” all the time, just doesn’t cut it.

    If anyone, bring back Janice! This cycle, she would have given all these girls a reality check. Especially Teyona.

    Michael, Nole’ would be awesome! But won’t he be on True Beauty if/when that comes back in the fall?

    Ciarán, from what I could tell Tyra and Paulina almost always agreed and most of the time in the 3 cycles she was on. It was she and Nigel that had differing opinions.

    Still not sure what to make of this situation. Passive/aggressive in the video…just a little…

  12. By Blahblah, Blah

    ANTM needs someone that they can RAISE, ANTM STYLE.

    Young, Fresh, Quick wit, Strong personality and strong opinion. I think someone like Bianca Golden from 9. She was a blast!

    Time for them to “pay it forward” and bring UP some new blood.

    Any other suggestions?

  13. By michael

    Bring back Nole’ Marin!!!

  14. By Qiana

    I liked Paulina. Just not sure why people think Tyra says who stays and who goes. Doesn’t the network pay the salaries and negotiate the contracts?

  15. By Steady01

    Paulina was just a little too bland this cycle. Please say they’re bringing back Twiggy, PLZZZ!

  16. By Blahblah, Blah

    Who is Paulina??? She had no impact on ANTM!

  17. By Ciarán

    THANKS GOODNESS!! I never warmed to Paulina….bring back Twiggy, or better still Janice….. i doubt they’d do this though. It’s seem like a step back….not sure who they would get to replace her.

    I never thought that Tyra liked Paulina that much. Tyra always disagreed with Paulina’s comments – i noticed this a lot in Cycle 11…..

  18. By Colinda

    There’s only one person with an ego problem and that’s Ms Banks herself. I love Paulina!

  19. By JeffreyT

    Bring back Twiggy, she seemed to have less favoritism than Paulina and Janice. That and she wasnt rude like Paulina or Janice could be.

  20. By damien

    i’m pissed. well, not gonna lie that i doubt miss paulina at first, but i think she’s very opinionated and she was a true top model back in the 80s. well, ego problem? i think we all know who got the huge-er ego problem.
