"I haven't really said much, but now it's time,"
"Tyra would do anything for the success of her show,"
"It was very, very intense, but you guys kept demanding it, so we kept pushing more, more, and more,"
Netflix released a three-part docuseries titled Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model that premieres on February 16. The series documents behind-the-scenes practices that harmed contestants, including invasive dental procedures, sexual harassment during photoshoots, and dangerous stunts that caused fainting and runway falls. Creative director Jay Manuel notes production prioritized the show's success, and Tyra Banks states she is now speaking out. The series describes escalating production demands and audience-driven pressure that pushed increasingly intense challenges. The series highlights the human cost of entertainment escalation and raises questions about accountability within reality-TV production culture.
