Netflix has dropped the trailer for a new documentary about America’s Next Top Model, and people cannot stop talking about it. Titled REALITY CHECK: INSIDE AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL, the documentary features Tyra Banks, Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker, Miss J Alexander, and several former contestants. It looks back at one of the most famous and most talked-about reality TV shows of all time.
The film takes a deep look into what really happened behind the scenes. Judges and contestants open up about their experiences, the pressure of the show, and the many controversies that followed ANTM over the years. From what the trailer shows, this is only the beginning of the stories that will be told. Watch the trailer below.
Since the trailer dropped, social media has been on fire. Some people are defending Tyra Banks, while others feel she is trying to shift blame onto the viewers and the industry.
Y’all saying “she’s blaming the audience”… let’s be real. Viewers kept tuning in, watched it, and enjoyed the drama. Ratings went up, and producers kept making more because the messy audience kept watching. Y’all aren’t the saints you claim to be 🙄
