Tyra grabbed herself some paparazzi and hightailed it over to a Manhattan eatery yesterday after Gatecrasher reported that she and Russell Simmons left the restaurant without paying the bill. The two were having brunch with his kids there on Saturday and after fighting over the bill, accidentally left without paying. Tyra stopped by The View to explain the mishap and to get felt up by Rosie. She also made sure to say she left the waiter a hefty tip. Tyra doesn't seem like one to purposefully dine and dash, so we're happy to see that she went back and paid up. We wonder if she'll make Russell pony up for his share!
For more pics of Tyra paying up just read more
I'm sure it was an accident.
1I love her dress and THE BAG!!!
still love her! and she looks fab!
2I love her bag!!! And she looks really great on those pics.

4walkin on the beach our toes in the sand...~
Tyra is great, I'm glad she went back to psy and made no bones or excuses about it. Plus, its look like she has toned up a bit. All is good!

5I wish they clarify how you 'accidently leave' without paying. I mean, I believe it's possible, but were they arguing about how got to pay or did they think they'd get it free for being famous? I want details!
6She looks great in these pics, a nice healthy weight. The dress really works on her too. Sometimes she is so hit or miss.
7I agree she looks great and am glad she went back and settled up the bill...My one complaint is that it would have been classier without the cameras.
8she looks fab! love her. and yes, very cute bag!
9How many people would have returned even if it had been front page news. Go Tyra!!
10She looks amazing!! I'd love if her hair was darker too. She has a great dress on though!
11She looks great in that dress!
12ugly dress
13CLASSY very nice, this dress suits her very well - very shick..
14I don't think that they would do it purposely (not paying the bill) - she does not make the impression of being someone who would want the attention for something like that... or maybe hungry for publicity?? hmm...
Love the outfit. She's looking fierce. Think it's great she returned and paid.
But does anyone think it's a bit odd that she had to film and get publicity for doing the right thing? Yesterday I read that she'd gone back to the restaurant and paid and I thought that was so cool. Now that I see a camera and a photo op and the extra pr, it just makes me think it was a way to save public face.
Oh well. At least the waiter got paid.
15Oh - ok. Just saw addicted2pop's comment.
16Its easy to see how she could have left without paying...maybe she assumed that he was getting ready to leave that he had decided to pay in the end...with the fighting, it may have been confusing.
17I was eating with my boyfriend, and he went to the bathroom, and when he got back, i said, "got the check?"... for some reason, he thought i said "i got the check", and we both left. then in the car we realized our mistake. Boy did we feel like idiots. We went back and left a huge tip. It can happen.
She probably knew that the media would get wind, so wanted to make sure that they got the correct information (that she did go back). That story could have been twisted very easily had they not seen her go back.
The bag is beautiful.
Isn't she really close friends with Kimora? I bet that meal was interesting.
18Does that waiter in her breasts look uncomfortable, or is it just me??
I used to like her, but after seeing so much of her personality on Top Model and the Tyra show, I dont really care for her anymore. She always brings conversation back to talking about herself, and once you notice that trend, it is just so obvious. The house decorated in "Tyra" for Top Model was a bit nauseating.

20LOVE her dress. She looks great.
21I love love the dress! She actually looks good here. I hate how she looks on Americas Next Top Model when shes on the judging panel.
22Tyra just rubs me the wrong way, but the girl ALWAYS looks so prestine. I love the dress and bag!!!
"Party like a rock star, pound like a porn star, play like an all star!"
23I love that she went, and that the papparazzi were there to document it--otherwise it would have been reported as "Tyra sneaks back to pay bill." She admitted fault and went back HERSELF to take care of it, rather than sending an assistant or friend to do the dirty work. I like that.
24That dress is great!!
25Where can I find that dress? (or one like it that doesnt cost a million) I love it!
26Aww, I love Tyra. She seems down to earth and I realllly love her purse!
27She looks fab. But why was she with Russell. I don't get how he gets the models. The guy in that pic looks ready to put his head down on the pillows for a nap!
28Tyra, Russell and his kids? Interesting!
29yeah it looks like she's finally put down burgers and hit the gym...
30Wow, She didn't even pay Her bill!
31Looking better but honestly she annoys the crap out of me!!
32Love, love, looooveee the bag!
33I love her. She looks gorgeous. I could see how this could be confussing, and end up leaving without paying. But, she went back and did it so good for her.
..If you see us in the club we'll be acting real nice
34if you see us on the floor you'll be watchin all night..
I HIGHLY doubt she did this for PR. She left right after the View (I believe thats what I read) so the paps probably just followed her from their, or waited at the restraunt for her.
35..If you see us in the club we'll be acting real nice

I love her dress but something about her is so fake its like she tries too hard...
"stay far from timid, only make moves when your hearts in it and live the phrase sky's the limit."
36i like tyra she seems like such a friendly person and somebody who admits to her flaws and mistakes. Unlike Paris who seems to act like she thinks shes better than everybody, but maybe paris is friendly too? i dunno, whatever
I think its stupid when people say that they think she's fat i mean first of all she was a supermodel, emphasis on super lol and she's pretty damn tall lol so she has a different uh BMI or whatever u call that. and she's now a talk show host, i don't think its hypocritical for her to tell people on top model to lose a lil weight or something and she hardly says that, but she's preparing them for the real fashion industry and i think she sincerely cares about all those hopefuls who hope to make it big (but which of the top model winners have really made it big?..Naima? Caridee?) and she's lived that life she knows what its like to be scrutinized for a like a couple of pounds so yea and on her show which i used to watch (but not anymore cuz the network isnt airing it anymore) she promotes healthy eating, exercising, and all that stuff. I remember one show where she showed how lil girls as young as 5 or 6 think they're fat when they're clearly not. and tyra said would u rather be skinny or smart and all the girls said they'd rather be skinny!
37This has accident written all over it, however, when you go somewhere to eat out how can you forget to pay? It's a catch 22 to me but I don't see her as someone who would do that on purpose. Yeah, I know I just countered what I said.
38I always find it hard to believe when people leave without paying. But I think for celebrities who have so much stuff for free or have an assistant taking care of things that they don't live in the same world as regular folks. That said, I agree with everyone that Tyra isn't the type of person who would do that on purpose. I've become quite a fan of her from ANTM and her talk show. It take big balls for her to go in person to take care of it when she could have sent someone over to quietly pay the bill. Way to go Tyra!
39so pretty.
