"Time doesn't heal all wounds, and sometimes it just makes them worse. Tiffany Richardson is still understandably upset about her time on America's Next Top Model, especially after the release of the Netflix docuseries Reality Check, which looks back on the show's controversies and impact. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Richardson, who was on the receiving end of one of Tyra Banks's most memed and discussed moments, called Banks a "bully" and claimed she was "lying" in the docuseries."
"In one of the most infamous moments on America's Next Top Model, Banks screamed at Richardson for seemingly not taking the competition seriously. "I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yelled at me like this, it's because she loves me," Banks yelled in the 2005 episode. "I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.""
