Naomi Campbell isn't willing to let her long-standing bitter feud with fellow supermodel Tyra Banks go anytime soon. The British runway star, 50, made her thoughts on their relationship clear as she took to her Instagram Story to repost a link to an article about the pair's bitter situation. And Naomi reported the article - which was written by a US website that suggested Tyra is "the real mean girl". Not adding her own comment on the piece, Naomi opted to simply repost the article on her story, which read: "Here's why fans are starting to think Tyra Banks is the real mean girl, not Naomi Campbell."

The pair haven't seen eye-to-eye for years ever since Tyra claimed then-established supermodel Naomi made her feel unwelcome when she first entered the fashion industry. Speaking about their history, Tyra last year told WSJ: “It wasn’t a rivalry. I’m very sensitive to that word because a rivalry is between two equals to me whereas one was very dominant, she was a supermodel, and I was just this new girl that had got on a plane from Paris and was studying fashion and magazines.
