Tyra Banks has filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix and the makers of the docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, alleging that producers manipulated hours of interview footage to create a misleading portrayal of her role in the long-running reality television franchise.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles federal court on 13 June, accuses Netflix, directors Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy, and production company EverWonder Studio of presenting what Banks describes as a 'false and defamatory narrative.' According to court documents, the television pioneer and former supermodel claims her three-and-a-half-hour interview was cut down to just 16 minutes and stripped of crucial context.
