adminBarker and top models Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha – and has promised not to go soft on the crop of aspiring fashion models.
She told OK! magazine: “I’m definitely sergeant major! I’m the mentor that is tough love. I tell them when things are not right and I don’t believe you should sugar-coat anything.
“I want these girls to have as much understanding and authenticity from myself as what’s going to be out there in the real world of modelling. But I do give praise to my girls too.”
However, the programme – which will be aired on the same network as Tyra Banks’ flagship show “ANTM” – was emotionally taxing on the statuesque beauty as she had no idea she would become so invested in the girls’ lives.
Naomi sighed: “It was such an emotional journey. I had no idea it would be like this but about the fourth or fifth day it, it hit me!
“I’m not a shrink but I felt like one. I had to be there to hear everything about there girls, like their family history, their background, their tragedies, their ups and downs. I felt very sympathetic to their stories.”
The 42-year-old star is convinced “The Face” will find the next big fashion star with all the qualities and confidence necessary to become a household name and says she is looking for someone exactly like herself.
Naomi explained: “Were looking for someone who catches your eye, has drive, passionate, can take direction. Someone who walks into the and takes your breath away. like myself.” -Bang Showbiz.
