'Appreciate your honest feedback and am sending so much love and virtual hugs.'
One 2006 clip in particular has gone viral, featuring Banks, runway coach Miss J Alexander, and photo shoot director Jay Manuel telling Cycle 6 contestant Danielle Evans—who would go on to win the season—that she needed to close the gap in her teeth if she wanted to succeed as a model.“Do you really think you can have a CoverGirl contract with a gap in your mouth?” Bank asks, sticking her pinky in between her front teeth and mocking Evans’ mouth.
Evans, now 34, then posted a video of her own on Instagram addressing the clip and saying there was a whole lot more that went into the moment that never aired on television. In her post, Evans said all the contestants were taken to the dentist, where Evans asked for a cleaning and teeth whitening. But, she added, the dentist “kept asking me if I wanted to close my gap,” which she declined. “Nah, bruh.
Once she arrived back on the set to go on camera with Banks, Manuel, and Miss J, Banks immediately asked her why she didn’t close her gap. Evans says she was intentionally not told that Banks wanted her to get her gap closed, a way to manufacture drama for the cameras. “I knew that I was being set up,” Evans said. She claims she and Banks went back and forth, but the comments about her gap weren’t exactly what bothered her. “All of that was trivial to me. I’ve heard it all before,” she said.
She was inspired to make the video, Evans continued, so she could address all the young girls who may have seen that clip and become insecure about their own appearance. “You’re beautiful,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if you have a gap...what makes you beautiful is in here. It’s a matter of your self-worth.”
