Tyra Banks just filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix over the "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model" docu-series — alleging they cut her 3.5-hour interview down to just 16 minutes and "surgically manipulated" it to push a false narrative. So is she right… or is this damage control after the doc made her look bad? Let's get into it. 👑
Tyra is suing Netflix, EverWonder Studio, and the doc's directors for defamation, false light, breach of contract, and false endorsement. At the center of it: the Shandi Sullivan assault allegation, that infamous "you remember the story with Shandi?" cut-to-black moment, and Miss J Alexander's comments about Tyra not visiting after his stroke. She's asking for a jury trial and damages for lost income and reputational harm.
