Tyra Banks Goes Undercover at Strip Club

Former Victoria’s Secret model Tyra Banks shows her pole dancing skills at strip club where she went undercover for a segment of “The Tyra Banks Show” scheduled to air tonight on selected stations around the country.

According to the show’s publicist, Banks posed as stripper to show why men are drawn to strip clubs.

Calling herself Chanel, the 32-year-old Banks was hired on as a dancer at an unnamed club. Banks said she did the segment after hearing from friends and viewers who said they were frustrated with their boyfriends or husbands who frequent such clubs.

Banks use of a disguise is not new. She recently donned a so-called “fat suit” used in movies to mimic the appearance of an obese person, as part of a segment on her show to demonstrate how people behave toward fat people.

Taking on the adult industry is not new to Banks. In January, she brought on adult performer Tyra Banxxx to confront her about why she uses a variation of her name and to discuss the impact of porn on women.
