Teyona Wins "America's Next Top Model"

Contestant Teyona Anderson walked away with the Cycle 12 title of "America's Next Top Model" last night, reports E! Online.

Anderson defeated finalist Allison Harvard to win representation with Elite Modeling Agency, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics and a six-page spread in
Seventeen Magazine.

Anderson impressed the judges, including departing Paulina Porizkova, with her performance in the final Rosa Cha runway show set in Brazil and Seventeen cover shoot.

The 20-year-old beat out 13 other models to take the title and admitted she was in disbelief.

"I'm so proud of myself, it's ridiculous. Like, is this for real?" Anderson said moments after her win.

Harvard's supporters say they also found themselves in disbelief:

Paulina Porizkova Fired From "Top Model"

According to PEOPLE, tonight's "America's Next Top Model" finale will be judge Paulina Porizkova's last show.

The supermodel said she was recently fired from the reality TV series during an interview with Craig Ferguson. Porizkova told "The Late Late Show" host that the Tyra Bank-hosted show needed "to cut some fat and the fat was me." Producers also told her she has an "ego problem."

While most Twitter users are glad about the decision, others are upset:

  1. S Fenton
    sfenton24 Wow, I'm really disappointed ANTM fired Paulina Porizkova. Maybe they'll finally make Jay Manuel a judge.
  2. Teflon

  3. Richelle Mead
    RichelleMead Wow. Paulina Porizkova was fired from ANTM. Can't say I'm too heartbroken after the harsh way she told 25-year-old Celia she was "too old."
