Shandi Sullivan's Side of Her ANTM Cheating Scandal Is Harrowing
""I think I had two bottles of wine by myself," she says, on top of not eating all day. She can't even remember having sex. "I was blacked out for a lot of it," she says in the doc. "I didn't even feel sex happening, I just knew it was happening and then I passed out." She woke up the next day and realized what had occurred. She says she believes production should have stopped it."
""We treated Top Model like a documentary," he says. "And we told the girls that. On day one, when they'd show up, we'd go over the rules with them." Tyra Banks, the show's infamous host, claims she had no knowledge of the production "because that's not my territory." (She was an executive producer on the show.) But in the same episode, Tyra has a chat with the girls in which she "randomly" brings up how terrible it feels to get cheated on."
Shandi Sullivan rose from Walgreens clerk to modeling in Milan after appearing on America's Next Top Model. During the show she had sex with a man who was not her boyfriend and then called her boyfriend on camera, creating a notorious moment. Sullivan says she drank heavily, was blacked out, and cannot remember consenting to the encounter, which she now characterizes as more like sexual assault. She says she woke up and believed production should have stopped the encounter. Executive producer Ken Mok defends filming and nonintervention, while Tyra Banks claims limited knowledge yet raises the topic of cheating during a conversation with contestants. Sullivan says production initially planned to restrict phone access but ultimately allowed the call, and she feels set up by production.
