Tyra Banks has turned heads this week as she guest‑co‑hosts TODAY with Jenna & Friends, bringing her unmistakable charisma and warm energy to Jenna Bush Hager’s desk. Viewers have responded enthusiastically to her chemistry with Hager, praising Banks as a “natural” and even calling her their favorite co‑host already. The supermodel’s personality shines through in candid moments. However, during a recent segment, she made a confession about eating crumbs that left Hager stunned and disgusted. Here’s what Banks said that has everyone talking.

Tyra Banks admitted to eating crumbs off her bed and floor

Tyra Banks isn’t afraid to get personal while on TODAY with Jenna & Friends. During a funny segment with Jenna Bush Hager, the two co-hosts discussed eating in bed. Banks explained how she loves eating snacks in bed, including ice cream and popcorn. Hager scoffed at the idea of eating where she sleeps, as she admitted to being a messy eater.

“We do ice cream in bed; we do popcorn in bed,” Banks noted.

“That’s a controversy,” Hager said while looking unsure. “I’m not into eating in bed. … I don’t like crumbs. … I don’t like syrupy stuff. If I was a cleaner eater … I’m a little bit of a messy eater. I drop popcorn and then I’m, like, laying in popcorn.”

“But the great thing is like, a couple days later …,” Banks continued while simulating the motion of eating crumbs.

“No, you do not!” Hager said in disbelief. “A couple of days later, you get down in there?”

“I do,” Banks admitted. “And you know, Jenna, I clean crumbs by eating them. Because if you put it in the trash, like, you’re going to get roaches or something.”

Banks continued by noting that she’ll even eat off her own floor, especially because she has a no-shoes rule in the house.

“But then I see my son do it, and I’m like, don’t do that,” Banks said. “He’s like, ‘Momma, you do it!’ He calls me out on it.”

Fans are in shock over Tyra Banks’ admission

TODAY fans couldn’t believe what Tyra Banks said about eating crumbs out of bed and off her floor for up to a week after finding them. Many of them on Instagram sided with Jenna Bush Hager, stating they would never pick up random food bits and place them in their mouth.

“No way do I want food in my bed! Yikes!” one fan wrote.

“I eat in bed all the time, but I’m not leaving popcorn in it for a few days,” another fan commented.

“Yikes!! Nope!! We eat on the floor in the bedroom, not in it. And if we do, push the crumbs out and vacuum,” another fan wrote.

Some viewers even suggested they no longer desired to watch the show due to Hager and Banks’ banter.

“Annoying shows lately,” another fan commented. “I want to like it ….”

The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ host has her own ice cream shop in Australia

Tyra Banks might gross out viewers with her home habits. But there’s no doubt that she’s taking snacking to the next level with her ice cream shop. In April 2025, she discussed her Australian shop, SMiZE & DREAM, while on TODAY with Jenna & Friends.

“Making ice cream has been a lifelong dream of mine, and it’s all happening right here in Australia,” she explained, according to NBC. “This idea is a tribute to my mama, Carolyn.”

The shop, located in the heart of Sydney, features never-before-seen flavors, like Vegan Chocolate Cookies & Cream and Tyra’s Favorite — a blend of salted caramel butter, butter-roasted pecans, and salted sweet cream.

With this in mind, it makes sense that Banks is discussing her love of eating ice cream in bed while on national TV.
