However, within Netflix’s upcoming documentary, a model can be heard saying: « The only reason the door was open for me was because of Tyra. »
Former ANTM judge Jay Manuel claimed: « We were showing the behind-the-scenes of what the fashion world was. I realized Tyra could do anything for the success of her show. »
Others involved in the creation of the show reflected on the huge audience of ‘over 100 million people’.A model reminded how they felt it was ‘a TV show’ to those making it, but it was their ‘life’ which was being impacted.
With comments thrown around such as ‘You’re not thin enough’ and one model undergoing ‘a medical procedure as part of a makeover,’ one producer reflected there was a moment they questioned if they’d ‘built a monster’.
Indeed, Netflix details the documentary as ‘expos[ing] the show’s complicated legacy and asks a provocative question: how far are we willing to go for entertainment?’.
Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model is set for release on Netflix on February 16.
