In a statement to Us Weekly, Dickinson said she was sorry about saying bad things about Banks in the past. "The one regret I've had is badmouthing Miss Tyra Banks when I was not speaking with a sober mindset," Dickinson said. "I just want to take this time to apologize to Tyra, and say I'm terribly sorry for any of the antagonistic things I've said about her in the past. It was just because I was hurt from being fired from the show."
In 2005, Dickinson revealed she had been fired from the show when she had just wanted to help the models further their careers. "I got fired. At first it was a trip. I believed in the show and it was fun. But after a few episodes I began getting labeled a bitch, and that got to me," she said. "I was just telling the truth and I was saving these girls from going out there and being told that they're too short, too fat, their skin's not good enough. I was to America's Next Top Model what Simon Cowell is to American Idol." Dickinson was known for being outspoken during her tenure on the reality show.

Dickinson just appeared on E!'s show Botched, which is about correcting people's previous plastic surgeries. America's Next Top Model will be back on the CW this summer.
