Tyra Banks is suing Netflix, alleging defamation over its documentary series about “America’s Next Top Model.” The three-part series features accusations of sexual assault and a toxic work environment during the show’s run in the 2000s. Banks claims the documentary portrays her in a false light and misrepresents the reality of the program. The lawsuit argues that Netflix prioritized sensationalism over factual reporting, causing significant damage to Banks’s reputation. Specific allegations within the documentary reportedly include instances of body-shaming and exploitation of contestants. Banks seeks to prevent further distribution of the documentary and is pursuing unspecified damages. Netflix has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit.
