19 Feb
Summary
- Directors pursued the docuseries irrespective of Tyra Banks' participation.
- Tyra Banks had no editorial control over the final docuseries cut.
- Viewers online question Tyra Banks' accountability for past actions.
A new Netflix docuseries, "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," has brought to light controversies surrounding the show and its host, Tyra Banks. The series' co-directors, Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy, stated that the documentary's production was independent of Banks' involvement, though her decision to share her perspective was welcomed.
Banks participated in the series but reportedly had no editorial control and did not see the final cut until its debut. The documentary delves into sensitive topics, including onscreen sexual assault, instances of blackface, and Banks' infamous "we were all rooting for you" moment.
Despite the commendations for models and judges who spoke out, online discourse indicates that many viewers feel Banks did not adequately address or take responsibility for her past actions and behavior featured in the docuseries. Public sentiment on social media platforms suggests disappointment with her perceived lack of accountability.
