Tyra Banks says 'I went too far' with American's Next Top Model
"Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming documentary on America's Next Top Model and it sees supermodel and ANTM host Tyra Banks make a simple confession: "I went too far." Netflix has promoted Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model as "the definitive, must-watch documentary" about ANTM. The modelling reality show ran for 24 'cycles' between 2003 and 2016."
"However, the show has been mired in controversy for years with criticism often revolving around the demands placed upon models, body shaming, negative critiques offered by the show's judges, and often invasive makeovers that were carried out. All of this is brought to the fore in the trailer which starts with one of ANTM 's most iconic clips that sees Banks yelling "we were all rooting for you" at a contestant. "I haven't really said much, but now it's time," Banks then says."
Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model features interviews with Tyra Banks, makeup artist Jay Manuel, runway coach J. Alexander, and photographer Nigel Barker alongside former contestants and winners. The series revisits the programme's 24 cycles from 2003 to 2016, its demanding challenges, prize packages, and longstanding controversies including body shaming, harsh critiques, and invasive makeovers. The trailer highlights iconic moments such as Banks shouting "we were all rooting for you" and shows Manuel and Alexander reflecting awkwardly on past practices. The trailer also includes admissions and critiques, with Banks telling viewers she "went too far" and participants recalling inappropriate behaviour and production choices.
