ANTM Star Slams Netflix Reality Check Doc

A former winner of America's Next Top Model has voiced her disappointment with the Netflix documentary "Reality Check." The contestant, who appeared on the show in 2026-02-17, stated that the documentary shifted focus away from the contestants and towards the judges and drama. She expressed a desire for more focus on the experiences of the individuals competing on the show.

Despite her critiques, she also offered a defense of former host Tyra Banks. The model credited Banks with significantly impacting the fashion industry by featuring a diverse range of contestants, including different races, body types, and gender identities. This inclusivity, she argued, paved the way for greater representation in advertising and shifted public perception.

In addition to the Netflix offering, another documentary series about the show, titled "Dirty Rotten Scandals," is slated to premiere on E!. This series aims to explore the "dark underbelly" of America's Next Top Model through untold stories from former contestants, promising to reveal the behind-the-scenes challenges faced by those vying for the top spot.
