Tyra Banks' runway days are long behind her, but her strained past with Naomi Campbell left a permanent mark.
As Banks, 42, recalled on the Norwegian-Swedish series "Skavlan" Friday, she is still frightened of the British beauty.
"I got to Paris and it was very difficult I did very well, very fast," Banks explained. "But then the industry was saying, 'Look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell sit your butt down, this younger one is coming to take your place."
"It wasn't fair to Naomi, but her response was … to this day I'm very scared of her," she continued. "I don't want to go too deep into the past, but it was very difficult, like some of the lowest times of my life dealing with that."
Though Banks didn't elaborate on Campbell's behavior, she understood the 46-year-old diva's frustrations.
"I don't condone her actions and her response, but I understand where it comes from because the world is saying, 'You're not going to have your spot. We're going to take your money, we're going to take your fame. Go sit down, there's somebody else.'"
The rivals squashed their 14-year feud on Banks' now-canceled talk show in 2014.
"She kept saying it never happened and then there was a commercial break and then she came back and said, you know, 'I'm sorry,'" Banks revealed. "And, oh my God, I just cried like a baby. To hear that after so many years of pain and dealing with it publicly … me having to leave agencies because of her … to hear that apology meant the world to me. She has no idea what that did for me."
