Former America's Next Top Model stars are speaking out about the show, and Tyra Banks, ahead of Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model. While ANTM was a major reality TV hit at the time, the show is extremely problematic in hindsight. Many former contestants have spoken out about their experiences, and about Tyra, for years. But the new Netflix documentary certainly brings more attention to those problematic aspects. Ahead of the release of Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model on Netflix, here's what some notable ANTM alums had to say about the show, host/mentor Tyra, and the new documentary.

How did America's Next Top Model contestants react to Netflix's Reality Check documentary?

As we saw in the Reality Check trailer, some former ANTM contestants are participating in the documentary. Including first plus size winner Whitney Thompson, finalist Shannon Stewart, Cycle 2's Shandi Sullivan, and Cycle 4's Keenyah Hill. In the trailer, Whitney acknowledges that doors were open to her because of ANTM and Tyra. However, the trailer also features Keenyah and Shandi getting emotional as they look back on filming the show.

However, many other contestants did not to participate. In the weeks following the trailer's release, many ANTM fans wondered if their favorite contestants would appear. And plenty of the former stars were asked for their opinions on social media. Here are the responses from past contestants, who are sharing their sides with or without the Netflix docuseries.

First ANTM winner Adrianne Curry criticized the "woke" Netflix documentary

I am deeply grateful I won the first season of top model. i think people psychoanalyzing it over 20 years later with a woke lens is absurd. I don't trust people to not manipulate things I say for tv, so i decline everything. Also, the public is cult-like and cruel, so the last…

— Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry) January 27, 2026

The very first ANTM winner Adrianne Curry has criticized Tyra over the years. But don't expect to see her appear in the Netflix docuseries. When the trailer came out, Adrianne took to X to voice her opinions. The former model wrote, "I think people psychoanalyzing [ANTM] over 20 years later with a woke lens is absurd." She continued, "I don't trust people to not manipulate things I say for TV, so I decline everything."

She elaborated later on Instagram, writing, "I say no to all of these. I have 0 trust in any producers, no desire to be really public in this day and age … and am hard retired from Hollywood."

ANTM winner Lisa D'Amato accused Tyra Banks of using the Netflix doc as a "money grab"

Lisa D'Amato is perhaps the most outspoken former contestant against the documentary. That may be partially because she has a rival documentary coming out with E! in March. First, Lisa responded by calling Tyra a "slimy little snake." At the time, the All Stars winner said of Tyra, "I believe she's gonna soften the truths (about the show) and not take any accountability because narcissists don't know how to do that."

More recently, Lisa dismissed the docuseries as a cash grab. "Tyra's all about making money," she said, adding, "She doesn't have any real empathy for anybody else but herself." Lisa continued to theorize that Tyra isn't actually taking accountability, but pretending to in order to secure future opportunities. She claimed, "In order for her to save face, to make more money in the future, she's going to have to take a bit of accountability."

Interestingly enough, the Netflix docuseries reportedly ends with Tyra announcing America's Next Top Model will return for Cycle 25. So, does Lisa have a point?

Cycle 6 winner Danielle Evans called out Tyra's "bull f*cking sh*t"

Unlike the other names on this list, Cycle 6 winner Danielle Evans is featured in the Netflix documentary. Danielle and Joanie Dodds' dental makeovers were undoubtedly one of ANTM's most infamous moments. Despite supermodels like Lauren Hutton having gaps in their teeth, Tyra insisted Danielle's was an issue.

A preview showed Tyra acknowledging she made a mistake, but explaining her side. Tyra claimed, "There were agents that would tell me she will not work with those teeth … I could've just been quiet and let them handle it. Hindsight is 20/20 for all of us. It just so happens that a lot of the things that are 20/20 for me happened in front of the world."

However, Danielle didn't buy it, responding, "Bull f*cking sh*t." The hat designer continued, "Me getting my gap closed is not opening any doors for me. You knew what you were doing for the show. You were making it good for TV, at my expense." The 40-year-old also pointed out that, in a future ANTM season, Tyra had another contestant's gap widened.

Brittany Corinne Hatch says Tyra deserves the backlash

View this post on Instagram

Cycle 8 contestant Brittany Corinne Hatch spoke to Front Page Pop Culture about her ANTM experience. Brittany said that ANTM alums weren't just contestants, but "survivors". Clearly referring to Tyra, she added, "The 'She' in charge deserves the hate."

Throughout her statement, Brittany condemned producers for "coercive control and breakdown tactics," including sleep deprivation, isolation, and trauma minding. Brittany also brought up dangers on the photoshoots, such as contestants suffering hypothermia and frostbite. And she mentioned the labor violations, and that contestants were "paid pennies … while the network made millions." Brittany is far from the first ANTM alum to bring up the low wages contestants received.

She concluded, "The fact that these monsters are planning a Cycle 25 is literally disgusting."

Victoria Henley accuses Tyra of lacking accountability

Cycle 19 star Victoria Henley wrote a blog post ahead of the Netflix documentary. The model was already dismayed by the trailer. As she remarked, the clip shows Tyra "quipping something for the effect of 'I knew I went too far. But you all kept asking for more, so we kept pushing.' Not Tyra literally blaming the audience in the trailer."

However, she added that it is "validating to see the show-runners finally own up and fess up to perhaps even a fraction of what they actually put us contestants through … because it was a lot." She called the ANTM contract "the most deeply troubling I've ever read." Once she was on the show, the sleep deprivation and bullying affected her so much, she lost a significant amount of weight. This was subsequently used as her storyline.

But despite her negative experience, the model also wrote that she is grateful for the opportunities that came from the show. At the end, Victoria wrote, "I'm cautiously optimistic about this documentary, and I've got my popcorn and champagne ready."

Reality Check: America's Next Top Model is available to stream on Netflix.

*Cheers* may be a TV classic, but Ted Danson says it took a minute before everybody knew the show's name.

While reflecting on the sitcom's legacy recently, the actor admitted that the early days of the show were plagued by uncertainty.

"Critics loved us. Everyone around us… the writers, everybody was so positive," Danson told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his *Dinner's On Me* podcast. "Don't pay attention, just keep doing it' kind of feedback, which was lovely."

Despite the positivity, Danson said there came a week when the show was "dead last" in ratings, which caused concern about their fate.

"[Co-creator] Jimmy [Burrows] likes to say we were 75th outta 70," Danson joked. "There were only 70 shows."

The actor said that weeks later, he was told that the network indeed "would have" canceled the show, but decided against it only because "they had nothing to replace *Cheers *with" on the schedule. In the end, NBC couldn't have made a better move. Though the show struggled ratings-wise, those who watched were hooked. Critics raved about the series, which was then bolstered by big wins at the Primetime Emmy Awards. By its second season, *Cheers* was a top-rated show.

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

Spanning 11 seasons, *Cheers* saw Danson serve up drinks as Red Sox relief pitcher-turned-bartender Sam Malone. There, he worked alongside his famed love interest Diane (Shelley Long) and the cynical Carla (Rhea Perlman), catering to barflies Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger) as the tight-knit crew navigated life. Later seasons welcomed the likes of Woody Harrelson, Kelsey Grammer, and Kirstie Alley, as the show's success continued.

After finding its audience, *Cheers* cemented itself as one of the most influential comedies of all time, winning six Golden Globe Awards and 28 Primetime Emmy Awards across its run.

Danson told Ferguson that the show was so successful that even his parents checked it out.

"My father always thought I should get a teaching degree in case it didn't work out. My mom was just thrilled. She was a grand appreciator," he recalled of their reactions to the show. "So they were happy, and then they bought their first TV so they could watch *Cheers*."

He joked, "They got hooked. They got suckered into it, you know. So they bought one of those huge TVs that's like a piece of furniture."**

When *Cheers* came to a close in 1993, the finale was watched by over 80 million people. Years later, Burros told ** that the decision to say goodbye came from Danson's desire to move on.

"If Ted had wanted to stay, we would have kept going," Burrows told EW in 2001. "The [cast] had the best jobs in the world. We were still on top. Regardless, they were all wonderful characters who could carry their own show."**

During Vogue Australia's "Vogue Forces of Fashion" event in Sydney, Hailey Bieber spoke about how much it helps to share parenting with her husband, Justin Bieber, as they raise their son, Jack Blues Bieber. The model and "Rhode" founder appeared onstage with Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Christine Centenera. She was part of a conversation focused on collaboration, and while she touched on business and creative partnerships, she also brought the discussion back to parenting.

Hailey Bieber reflects on Justin Bieber's support on parenting son Jack at Vogue Forces of Fashion

Speaking about parenting her son, Jack, with Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber told Vogue Australia, "Balance is a difficult word because I don't know if it's possible to accomplish full balance," adding, "Having a great partner is really important, and sharing responsibilities."

Hailey continued, "I'm here working, and my son is at home with his dad, living his best life. Having that support is very freeing and makes the decision a little bit easier." The Biebers welcomed their son in August 2024, and they have kept most details about him private. Even so, Hailey has started to speak more openly about how motherhood has changed her day-to-day decisions, especially when it comes to what she accepts and what she turns down.

Per Vogue Australia, Hailey highlighted, "I am a very big believer in our 'nos' being more powerful than our 'yeses.'" She added, "becoming a mum has made me refocus on what's important to me," explaining, "Sometimes it's hard and painful to say no to things, but I also think that saying no ends up serving you more in the end, because then you can show up in other spaces at your best self."

Besides parenting, Hailey Bieber shared how she and Justin approach working together when they do collaborate. She gushed, "I'm always super excited to collaborate with the person that I love," adding, "[Justin and I] don't think of it as a work thing."

Buena Vista Social Club (1999)

Ibrahim Ferrer in 'Buena Vista Social Club'.

Wim Wenders' tag-along with Ry Cooder to make recordings with aging giants of traditional Cuban music was a revelation for so many viewers unaware of the art form. On its surface, this is a "making of" movie with musicians hanging out in the studio; but it doubles as an exploration of Cuban culture, observing its decaying architecture and hot nights with old-timers at the beach swapping stories while playing dominoes.

The film climaxes with a triumphant visit by the musicians, some in their 90s, to New York's Carnegie Hall. The project's success launched a series of secondary albums (and copycats) and a hit Broadway musical.

Don't Look Back (1967)

Bob Dylan in Don't Look Back

Bob Dylan in 'Don't Look Back'.

Rarely do you get to see mythmaking happen before your own eyes. With *Don't Look Back*, D.A. Pennebaker, one of the architects of "direct cinema," deployed a new handheld 16mm camera and portable Nagra audio recorder to pretty much invent the modern music documentary. It didn't hurt that his subject was Bob Dylan in 1965, the leading light of the folk revivalism scene on the cusp of embracing electric instruments.

Most of the film follows Dylan and his entourage (including Joan Baez) on a tour of England, trading wits with journalists and getting hammered at a notorious hotel party that involves someone (who? whoooo? we'll never know) throwing a glass out a window. No one ever wore sunglasses better.

Everyone has hobbies. Some knit, some play backgammon, and some (like Martin Scorsese) make documentaries about people that interest them. *George Harrison: Living in the Material World *focuses on the most enigmatic Beatle. This two-part investigation begins with Harrison's early days in Liverpool through his Fab Four years, including sojourns to India that radically changed the aims (and style) of the counterculture in Europe and North America.

Harrison's post-Beatles career was the coolest of anyone's (no disrespect to Paul's "Silly Love Songs"): releasing the triple-album masterpiece *All Things Must Pass*, organizing some of the first global benefit concerts, and becoming a successful film producer. The Traveling Wilburys albums weren't so bad, either. And Scorsese approaches it all through the lens of Harrison's humble humanism.

Gimme Shelter (1970)

Mick Jagger in Gimme Shelter

Mick Jagger in 'Gimme Shelter'.

This is the only film on this list that doubles as crime-scene reporting. For many, the concept of "The Sixties" as a doe-eyed exploration of peace and harmony ended at California's Altamont Speedway, where a free festival headlined by the Rolling Stones was hastily assembled in a quixotic attempt to replicate Woodstock's lightning-in-a-bottle.

The film is framed by band members looking at footage — first of their triumphant concerts at Madison Square Garden, a visit to Muscle Shoals, Ala., then the tragedy at Altamont. The Stones took the stage as tensions rose between fans and drunken Hells Angels, leading to a fateful skirmish that marked the end of an era.

It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025)

Jeff Buckley in It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley

*It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley* shows how the great singer-songwriter, who only released one completed studio album before he died in a freak accident in 1997, was hardwired to express himself through song. Though he barely knew his absentee father Tim Buckley (who also died young), the specter of that similarly genre-defying artist was always in his life.

Alternately embracing and dodging comparisons, the younger Buckley rode the wave of notoriety in the downtown Manhattan scene, securing a recording contract and an army of dedicated followers. It didn't hurt that he was handsome as hell, but the sudden thrust onto magazine covers (balanced by only modest sales) sent him into a tailspin. Though poised for a remarkable second act, cruel fate intervened.

Listening to Kenny G (2021)

Kenny G in Listening to Kenny G

Kenny G in 'Listening to Kenny G'.

Kenny G knows people think he's a joke, and he's laughing all the way to the bank. Somehow this dopey guy who makes music for people who don't ever think about music secured himself a decades-long career. Director Penny Lane interviews jazz critics who howl at his wretchedness, then balances it with fans who simply don't care. What is "good art," anyway?

By and large, Kenny comes off as a nice guy, if not a smidge obnoxious. But wouldn't you be a little defensive if everyone had publicly mocked your work? Above all, this doc is an examination of the mercurial nature of taste and individuality. And it may even get you to listen to some Kenny G.

Luther: Never Too Much (2024)

Luther Vandross in Luther: Never Too Much

Luther Vandross in 'Luther: Never Too Much'.

This look at "love doctor" Luther Vandross is a celebration of his great career and a sad look at how culture wasn't ready to accept him for who he was. As a closeted gay man who shed and gained weight in the public eye, the spotlight often took a toll on his mental and physical health, making him an unfortunate punchline.

For those who knew him, and those who packed theaters to see him, he was a titan of romantic R&B and a great professional. *Never Too Much *balances personal stories with examples of his remarkable musical output, including early years singing and arranging on David Bowie's ode to Philly Soul, *Young Americans*.

Monterey Pop (1968)

Jimi Hendrix in Monterey Pop

Jimi Hendrix in 'Monterey Pop'.

After *Don't Look Back*, D.A. Pennebaker continued to cover the contemporary music scene, capturing 1967's Monterey International Pop Festival. In a time before YouTube (to say nothing of MTV), footage of stars like Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and Simon & Garfunkel were harder to come by, so every captured moment became precious. Most memorable in *Monterey Pop *is Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar ablaze (not a euphemism) and the Who smashing their instruments.

Also groundbreaking was the way Pennebaker shot Otis Redding's performance, using flashes from stage lights (previously considered a filmmaking "error") as something of a dance partner and in-camera editing technique. Perhaps most important was including the audience, offering fashion tips for everyone watching in theaters.

One to One: John & Yoko (2024)

Yoko Ono and John Lennon in One to One: John & Yoko

You'd assume we don't need another John Lennon documentary, but *One to One: John & Yoko* is much more than a typical biography. It focuses on 18 months in the couple's life when they lived in an unglamorous Manhattan apartment while involving themselves in major political and artistic affairs. Despite great wealth, they lived simply, watched a lot of television, and recorded many of their phone calls so they could one day get used in a project like this.

The film is a collage of the time and place — a city and culture undergoing tumultuous change. It concludes with one of Lennon's few post-1966 concert appearances, a benefit concert for a school for the disabled inspired by a news report from, of all people, Geraldo Rivera.

Tina (2021)

Tina Turner in Tina

Tina Turner in 'Tina'.

Courtesy of HBO

If ever anyone deserved a victory lap, it was Tina Turner. This film, released only a couple of years before her death, is a comprehensive reflection of her difficult life, which ultimately ended with her finding solace in Switzerland with a good man by her side.

This isn't just a documentary about a gifted performer, but a condemnation of institutional sexism and racism that dominated mass media *not too long ago*. Bravely, Turner faces her biography one last time to show that demons from the past can be overcome. There's also some incredible concert footage to boot.

- Next week, *Wuthering Heights *and *GOAT*'s dominance seems assured, unless A24's financial drama *How to Make a Killing*, starring Glen Powell and Margaret Qualley, can stage an upset.

Out on the wily, windy moors, a new box office queen was crowned!

Emerald Fennell's slick and sexy new vision of *Wuthering Heights* was unleashed upon the world this weekend — and the world liked what it saw. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie lead the new adaptation, which soared to $34.8 million domestically and a remarkable $76.8 million globally, per Comscore.

At home, that figure does come in under projections, which ranged on the high end to $50 million and on the low end to $40 million. But the film right on target globally, with initial expectations pegged to $70-80 million. President's Day, making this a four-day weekend, bumped up those projections, and by the time Monday comes and goes, the tortured Gothic romance soundtracked by *Brat *superstar Charli XCX may well meet them.

Wuthering Heights ravishes the weekend box office with remarkable $82 million global debut

Stills from 'GOAT' and 'Crime 101'.

The domestic box office this President's Day weekend is noteworthy for being led by not one, not two, but three new releases. It's been months since the theatrical scorecard was topped by so many films in their first weekend, as juggernauts like *Wicked: For Good*, *Zootopia 2*, and *Avatar: Fire and Ash *have had the gold, silver, and bronze medals on lock for so long.

Following *Wuthering Heights *in the No. 2 spot domestically is *GOAT*, Sony Animation and Columbia's *Zootopia-esque *new talking-animals flick featuring, produced by, and based on the life of NBA star Stephen Curry. *GOAT *earned $26 million domestically and $41.6 million around the world. Like the giraffe voiced by Curry, kid-friendly animated films tend to have long legs at the box office, meaning *Wuthering Heights *may have some serious competition in week 2 if another new release doesn't come for them both.

In the No. 3 spot is *Crime 101*, another literary adaptation, which grossed $15 million at home and $27 million worldwide. Based on the novella by prolific crime writer Don Winslow, the film features an all-star ensemble, including Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte, dueling over jewels in the streets of Los Angeles.

Elsewhere on the charts this weekend, *Zootopia 2 *entered its 12th weekend of box office glory, adding $3.7 million for a $419.3 million total domestically, and $15.4 million for a $1.8 billion total globally.

Sam Raimi's return to horror, the survivalist thriller *Send Help*, stayed winning in the No. 4 spot with a $9 million week three domestic gross, for a total of $47.8 million. Luc Besson's *Dracula*, however, appears to have premiered too quickly on the heels of Robert Eggers' *Nosferatu*, as it only sank its teeth into $3 million domestically in week two, for a total pittance of $9 million.****

Next week's slate of new releases certainly threatens to skim some profit off the top of *Wuthering Heights *and *GOAT*'s returns, but doesn't seem poised to overtake them.

The pack includes the Malcolm McDowell slasher *Psycho Killer*, the period thriller *The Dreadful*, which reunites *Game of Thrones *stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harrington, and the Christian biopic *I Can Only Imagine 2*. But the most promising contender is *How to Make a Killing*, A24's take on a *Big Short *or *Wall Street*-style financial drama, starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Ed Harris.
