Tyra Banks sues Netflix over 'America's Next Top Model' doc

Tyra Banks filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on a Saturday, accusing the streamer of manipulating interview footage for Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model to depict her as negligent. The three-part docuseries, released February 16, revisits controversies from Banks’s long-running show and includes claims by cycle 2 contestant Shandi Sullivan. Banks alleges the producers edited her responses to create a false narrative that she allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted and exploited trauma for ratings. The complaint seeks a jury trial and damages for lost opportunities and mental anguish, naming Netflix, EverWonder Studio, Wise Child Studio, and directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan.
