How Tyra Banks Projected Her Trauma On The Antm Contestants
Vice recently released The Shocking Truth About America's Next Top Model as part of their Dark Side of Reality TV series. In the documentary, previous contestants of Tyra Banks' controversial modeling contest opened up about their horrible experiences on the show. Having watched Antm as a child through my teens, I'd say Tyra may have been projecting her traumatic modeling experiences onto the contestants.
The supermodel—who was sued for alleged abusive conduct on America's Got Talent—has been open about facing many rejections in the industry, which she even pinned on a clueless Naomi Campbell in 2005. There have also been related statements from a former judge reportedly fired by Tyra, regarding her behavior on the show.
Here are the parallels between Tyra's career and the challenges she imposed on Antm contestants.
