Tyra Banks Files Lawsuit Against Netflix's Reality Check Docuseries, Alleging Creation Of 'A False And Defamatory Narrative'

Summary: Tyra Banks is suing Netflix over a new documentary about her hit show, "America's Next Top Model." She claims the creators unfairly edited her three-hour interview down to just 16 minutes to make her look bad. The biggest issue involves a former contestant, Shandi Sullivan. The documentary makes it seem like Tyra didn't care or even remember that Shandi was allegedly sexually assaulted while filming the show. Tyra says she actually took responsibility for the show's toxic environment during the interview, but Netflix cut those parts out to create a fake, damaging story. Now, she is taking them to court for ruining her reputation.
