Summary
Tyra Banks is suing Netflix and the directors of a damning docuseries about America’s Next Top Model, claiming they manipulated her raw interview footage—cutting hours down to just 16 minutes—to fabricate a false narrative. She says she took responsibility for controversial moments on the show, but those admissions were erased from the final edit, which falsely implies she condoned a contestant’s sexual assault and exploited trauma for ratings. Banks, who created the iconic show in 2003 and ran it for 24 seasons, wasn’t allowed to review the documentary until the day before its release and was denied access to the full footage. Her legal team also alleges that former judges—some with known animosity toward her—shaped the doc’s direction without her input, and that she wouldn’t have participated if she’d known. The backlash since the doc’s release has been brutal, even affecting her Australian ice cream shop. This lawsuit is her last-ditch effort to reclaim her story and stop the misuse of her image.
