ANTM Alums Break Silence Over Tyra Banks in Netflix Reality Check
Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model collects nine former contestants’ accounts of alleged mistreatment by producers and Tyra Banks, detailing experiences like Ebony Haith’s queer Black identity being weaponized, a makeover leaving her with bald spots, Giselle Samson’s body‑shaming remark about her “wide ass,” and Shandi Sullivan’s claim that a filmed sexual encounter was used to cast her as the villain and kept her from leaving, underscoring a pattern of exploitation and inadequate contestant protection on the show.
