Christmas came a little bit early this year for Isis King. Tyra Banks showing she has the “gift of spirit,” decided to surprise
her with an all expense paid sex reassignment surgery. If you’re wondering who Isis King is, she was the first transgender model on America’s Next Top Model.
Isis King, born as Darrell Walls, could not afford to have the surgery that costs well over $25k. Tyra wanting to help, decided that she would help make her one dream come true.

Tyra Banks surprises Isis King, the first transgender contestant on America’s Next Top Model, with sex reassignment surgery in an episode of her talk show to air Tuesday.
“This is not happening!” King, who was born Darrell Walls, says when Banks introduces her to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself. Bowers is paying for the surgery.
“[I feel] like I’m about to wake up,” says King – who lived in a homeless shelter in Maryland before trying out for the show.
The 22-year-old hadn’t gone under the knife yet because she couldn’t afford the $20,000 to $35,000 price tag. Watch her tearfully explain putting off the surgery above.
“It’s hard. I try not to think about it because it is something I’m really passionate about,” she says. “I feel like I really was born in the wrong body, and it’s just the one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable.”
King wouldn’t allow photos of herself as a male shown on the 11th season of ANTM, but reveals them for the first time on The Tyra Banks Show.
Tyra Banks is a sexy outspoken Sagittarius girl. She is fun loving and free spirited. Also, she doesn’t GIVE A DAMN what anyone else thinks. It’s reported she is dating 50 year old businessman, John Utendahl. I think he’s pretty fine. Previously, she dated Tyler Perry. For some reason I always thought he was on the downlow.
Anyhoo, our girl Tyra shows she not only beautiful on the outside, but the inside as well. Congrats Isis!
