Oh Tyra, although I know your heart is in the right place, how is allowing an 18 year old unwed pegnant teenager a good thing:
Tahlia Brookins, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant, opened up to Tyra Banks about some unexpected news. The 18-year-old Cycle 12 contestant — who had suffered second- and third-degree burns all over her body when she was eight months old and has since endured 14 surgeries to treat her wounds — was surprised by the news.
“I was told multiple times over and over that I couldn’t get pregnant just from my scars holding me back, other physical things going on with my body,” Brookins says on The Tyra Banks Show, airing Wednesday. “I was always told I was never going to be able to conceive children.” “My initial reaction to my pregnancy was shock,” she says, adding that she and her boyfriend, David Michaels Jr., 18, had been going through a hard time. “During the show David and I were together,” she tells Banks. “Once I got home, he and I started having some complications. Shortly after that, we did break up because we both agreed that we had some stuff we needed to work on individually. So that is exactly what we are doing and still doing.” — [LINK]
Michaels, who works at the local AMC movie theater in their hometown of Phoenix, is ready to be a parent, too.
Well at least he have a job, congratulations are in order. I think!
