Cookie Monster: Playful Muppet Or Sexual Predator? You Decide

Cookie Monster Grabs Tyra Banks’ Rear During Show Taping; ‘Tyra’ Spokesperson Says Pic Is Misleading – New York Daily News

Cookie Monster can’t keep his paws to himself.

During a raucous visit to the set of “The Tyra Banks Show,” the furry, blue creature apparently grabbed a handful of the supermodel’s derriere.

Cookie Monster showed his randy side during a gag with his Sesame Street sidekicks.

After Elmo proclaimed he had excellent vision, Banks allowed the giggly red Muppet to check her head for evidence she wears a hair weave.

Elmo suddenly tried to take a bite out of Banks’ neck. With the ex-supermodel occupied, an opportunistic Cookie Monster appeared to put his paw on Banks’ booty.

Or did he?

A rep for the show said the picture is misleading.

“He did not touch her behind,” the spokeswoman said. “It’s just the angle of the photo.”

Either way, Banks’ backside appeared to escape the incident unscathed.
