Tyra Banks knows how to pick ’em.
The supermodel revealed her “disgusting and erotic” habit of popping pimples and picking dirt from other people’s toes during Thursday’s episode of “Today With Jenna & Friends.”
“I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don’t mind digging it out,” Banks, who is co-hosting this week, told Jenna Bush Hager.
“But I have a kit. You have to have a kit. Some alcohol, you know. Some stuff!”
When Bush Hager asked who she targets with these rituals, the “America’s Next Top Model” alum admitted that anyone in her household is fair game.
“Anyone that wants it — my mom, my friends, my man , my son,” Banks confessed, referencing her beau, Louis Bélanger-Martin. “And then, a pimple? If you had a pimple, I would be staring at you.”
Banks labeled her “addiction” as “disgusting and erotic at the same time,” explaining, “It touches those parts of me.”
However, the TV personality, 51, does have her limits.
“Nether regions. I’m not picking up in those,” Banks said. “If somebody’s like, ‘Oh, can you check this?’ I’m like, ‘No … that’s where I draw the line.’ Chest up and knees down? It’s on. I’m not popping and picking nothing [outside of] there.”
The model further grossed out Bush Hager as she explained that her foot-focused obsession can get quite stinky at times.
“The toenail, because there’s been stuff in there. The jam. The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and sometimes it’s different colors. Sometimes it’s brown, sometimes it’s green,” she described.
Banks has been romantically linked to Canadian businessman Bélanger-Martin since August 2018.
In November 2019, we exclusively reported that the pair was taking the next step in their relationship by moving in together.
“Tyra and Louis live together but Louis always moves around a lot for business reasons,” an insider told us, adding that he and his ex-wife, Valérie Martin Scraire, have an apartment in England, a house in Barbados, and a home in Magog, Quebec.
“Louis also spends some time with his own child in England and around the world for business,” said the source. “Tyra’s child has his own room at Louis [and] Valerie’s house in Magog and Tyra moved some of her stuff — clothes, jewelry — there too.”
