As the saying goes,"I get am before no be property".- Thats the case of Tyra but it seems she is finding it hard to swallow. 'Tyra’s feelings were hurt because the excuse she was given is that the audience likes to see the newest models, not the "veterans" on the runway during the VS TV show,' the source explained.
Ms Banks, who enjoyed a lucrative career as one of the lingerie giant's original Angels for eight years between 1997 and 2005, was said to have been 'dying' to make a comeback.
The sassy star made fashion history as the first African-American woman to feature both on GQ and Sports Illustrated covers.
Since then, the supermodel mogul has been running and co-hosting her wildly successful America's Next Top Model show, and will be working on its 21st cycle this summer.
She also announced earlier this year that was would be appearing in a sequel to Disney's cult hit, Life-Size, due out next year.

But as for those angel wings, it appears she won't be dusting them off and re-attaching them any time soon.
The December show, in which she reportedly wanted to appear, pulled in almost ten million viewers and showcased long-time Angels Adriana Lima, for her 14th year running, and Alessandra Ambroiso for her 13th year, as well as fledgling Angels Lily Aldridge, Toni Garrn and Behati Prinsloo.
'Tyra doesn’t want to make a public spectacle out of the snub, because it would make all the parties involved look bad, the source concluded. 'But she isn’t happy.'
