Tyra Banks Appears To Discuss The Public’s Criticism Of The Show In Upcoming Netflix Documentary ‘Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model’
On Monday, January 26, Netflix’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a minute-and-a-half-long clip along with the caption, “Tyra Banks, Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker, Miss J Alexander, and former contestants are featured in an explosive new documentary about America’s Next Top Model, one of the most popular — and controversial — reality shows of all-time.”
The clip recounts memorable moments from the show’s 24 seasons. From the glam moments to the not-so-glam moments, the trailer included apparent bodyshaming that occurred during the show, makeovers that included medical — but botched — dental work, alleged sexual harassment, and apparent physical stunts and injuries.
“I knew I went too far,” Banks tells viewers in one clip before adding. “It was very, very intense. But you guys were demanding it. And so we kept pushing. More. And more. And more.”
In less than 24 hours, the tweet with the trailer has gained over 9 million views.
“I haven’t really said much, but now it’s time.”
