Tyra Banks says she still cringes over her past insensitive comments made on "America's Next Top Model."

A clip from 2006 resurfaced earlier this month, showing Banks, the modeling competition show's creator and former judge/host, pressuring Cycle 6 contestant Danielle Evans to get dental surgery to close the gap between her two front teeth.

Banks apologized on her own talk show at the time and did so once again weeks ago. But in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, she says the clip still haunts her.

"I went on my talk show and did an entire segment on what we did. What we did was wrong, and we apologized for it," she told the outlet. "But not everybody saw that. There's a whole new generation of people that didn't grow up with my show and didn't see that."

When watching the past clip regarding Evans' teeth, Banks confessed: "I cringe."

"And I cringe through the eyes of today," she continued.
