Television personality and former America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks has reportedly filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix over a documentary examining the legacy of the long-running reality series.
The documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model premiered in February and revisited several controversial moments from the franchise, featuring interviews with Banks, 52, alongside former contestants and others connected to the show.
America’s Next Top Model launched in 2003 and was created by Banks, who hosted much of its run before it ended in 2018. While the series achieved major success and helped launch modelling careers, it also drew criticism over time for its production choices, treatment of contestants and provocative photo shoots.
The documentary has reignited debate about the show, prompting renewed scrutiny of events from its broadcast history.
