Tyra Banks filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix over a documentary about America's Next Top Model.
Tyra Banks sued Netflix and the directors of the docuseries 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model' on Saturday in Los Angeles federal court. The lawsuit alleges producers manipulated her 3.5-hour interview down to 16 minutes to create a false narrative that she knowingly allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted and could not recall the incident. Banks is seeking damages and an injunction.
