The Shocking Truth About America's Next Top Model

[@Msdinomite]

I remember that episode with the girl with the blonde weave. She complained constantly that it hurts and they accused her of being a baby and whining about it. Then they took her to a different salon who were shocked at how bad it was and basically her complaints were justified

[@BearLikeFire]

Right. And what about that girl with the terrible clown-red horse hair weave? Even Miss J called out the show during panel about how bad that weave was. Like that girl was in physical pain.

[@peppermint23]

all of these women had justifiable complaints but were abused on the show to some degree. I remember they forced one girl into a pool when the water was dangerously cold and she went into shock and they berated her for not being "tough enough."

Playing Devil's advocate here, but I think that Janice was probably casted in the show to be the mean 'realistic' voice of the fashion industry at the time. I don't think she's that rude in real life.

[@erinpilla]

Actually in OT interviews the girls said they loved Janice because she was the only one off-camera to reach out to them to give actual advice and clarify where she stands

[@CorCor89]

It was who she was hired to be. A lot of the girls say Janice is the one they respect the most because when the cameras were off it was all love and apologies. If Kelle from cycle 3 can vouch for Janice considering the things she said to her, no one should even be trying to have a problem with her.

[@peppermint23]

Forced hair cutting is historically a form of degradation and humiliation aka abuse, and that's what they were doing under the guise of "helping" these women as the whole show was exploitative beyond belief. They could've given them options to choose from but they had to go full throttle and make them feel as helpless as possible, and that was only the beginning. These women were basically kids too, most of them only 18-20. It was the first step in making them complacent on the show.

Those producers gave the girls some seriously ugly-ass makeovers for entertainment, and for this Andrew guy to act otherwise is so disingenuous. Admit that you exploited them or you’re a lie, dude.

[@bekindrewind335]

Maybe, but most of these girls were fans of the show and KNEW the makeovers were a part of it. It always baffled me every season to see them act like they didn’t know what was going to happen. And if you tell the producers, “I love my long hair”, they were 100% going to cut it off, so they just shouldn’t say anything.

To take comp card pics with a weave that you will not have if they see your card and set up a “go see” is a waste of everybody’s time. Tyra did so many things with those girls that made great TV but has nothing to do with modeling in reality. I’ve interned at a modeling agency in the early 2000s

@@theglitchmodulator23 Actually, in the early seasons, no they didn’t. They didn’t know it wouldn’t lead to a modeling career, or any of the prizes it advertised. It took whistle blowers like the first season winner (I forget her name) to come forward. I believe the prize was a $100,000 cover girl contract or something. But it was really a contract with Tyra’s company, and it meant that you were not allowed to do any modeling they don’t book for you, for years and they didn’t book you to do anything but to promote the show.

When they brought these plus size models on the show, and I didn’t even understand that they were considered bigger than the other girls? So, that lead me to be super conscious about my looks and my body. I was just a KID! And being a girl in the early 2000’s, you know that “size zero” was the thing.

As a young woman, I had long hair. I landed a double role in the play, "The Miracle Worker" as 83 yo Aunt Ev and the ghost of Jimmy Sullivan. I volunteered to have it chopped off, in a boy cut. No problem. I was glad I got the job.

[@alotofmore]

The straw wrapper trick was genius. It’s always great to market yourself in a way that makes you the most memorable.!

[@kathaiti]

This should've been longer. Ten minutes doesn't cut it.

[@19ld]

And now Tyra is a big woman and preaches that we have to embrace our bodies

[@berry6467]

And what’s sad none of these models ever truly became as successful as the false dream they portrayed

[@alpe1987]

Tyra Banks ran so RuPaul could walk. IYKYK

[@vrroomm]

I feel like at least many ppl from dragrace who didn’t win actually got a career, better payment for gigs, got to tour around the country & the world for performance etc compared to ANTM where only the winner got perks and the rest went back to their normal lives. Only a few got to break out their modeling career and usually not with the help of ANTM. So imo dragrace is definitely better

[@Meechooilka]

@@vrroomm the original comment is not about which show is better. It's about the fact that Drag Race would never exist without ANTM (and project runway and everything else)

[@vrroomm]

@@Meechooilka ah my bad, that’s definitely true !

[@hlgrmdr9556]

other way around sweetie...who is tyra now?

[@Meechooilka]

@@hlgrmdr9556 sweetie, you need to fix your mug

[@nikibronson133]

It’s crazy that that woman was considered plus size because she is absolutely not plus sized. I’m glad we’ve moved into an area where we actually feature plus sized body types and I feel bad that she spent her earliest years of her career thinking that she was fat because she is not in any way, shape or form or fashion. To a certain degree I don’t think Ashley Graham is who’s a supermodel, but she’s a plus size supermodel. And I’m not advocating for super obesity. When I think of plus size, I think of that girl who was on the cover of sports, illustrated or a few other models that I can’t think of right now who actually have plus size figures with stomach and big boobs and a bit of arm fat

[@FAUFRESH1]

Is there a full documentary?

[@StaceyFife]

Tyra needs to issue an apology to every contestant on this toxic show !

[@jamaljames2578]

Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾

[@Souten66]

ANTM should have been cancelled over Tyra calling them TyOvers 🤦‍♀️

[@tla0324]

this felt incomplete the way it ended

[@SL-yy5ov]

the bottom line of this is these girls should be getting royalties for this show they aren't and that why there circling this constant fixation on it. They never should of let the show get away this long to do extra seasons without Clausing the contestants to receive this. It's always the same ones fixated as they know now too late. The ones that aren't have moved on to make money elsewhere. Its sad and disgusting the treatment to them though there not healing themselves going around and around this. Tyra and the producers knew what they were doing it made them a ton rich and it's a good learning for those entering television to know what you're signing up for and what to demand for then and long term.

[@greenartnut3818]

Can we have a longer documentary 😢

[@kaya8518]

Where can I watch more?

[@deaditeera]

Great documentary guys! Watched the full thing on their website

[@Maja-b5j]

Forcing the girls to go through with cutting of theyre hair when it was CLEAR how much they loved theyre hair is just borderline evil.

[@TheVelvetLoungeLife]

DISGUSTING... I was on a reality television show and the staff was nothing but kind. There is no pushing or shoving but mostly there was no intimidation or bullying people into talking about subjects that were not comfortable with. I do agree with past America's Next Top Model contestants in this interview that some people would be cut, go home or lose because they did not want to go into certain topics. Lastly, how money hungry was that production company whereas they didn't provide food for these people everyday at least two good, very nutritional meals a day.

[@LaurenOrion]

This show was young women being bullied on tv for 2 months

[@galaxyquestt]

I find it completely disingenuous for Lisa to be up there talking about trauma and how the show made her feel when she was a raging alcoholic who absolutely harassed her cast mates.. even 50 cent had to shove her in the pool because she kept invading his personal space 😳😳 I be with y’all when y’all right vice

[@AikoSilver]

50 cent shoved Jael Strauss from season 8, not Lisa

[@galaxyquestt]

@ your absolutely right it was jael 😂😂 this was when Lisa was crying to Benny Medina and he was like “why are you crying” at the pool party

[@MidgardSerpent]

@@AikoSilver I googled her, she passed away from cancer in 2018.

[@AikoSilver]

@@MidgardSerpent I saw 😔 and she was addicted to hard drugs and Dr. Phil exploited her for views

[@erinpilla]

To think that a lot of ANTM's biggest fights stemmed from frozen vegetables, brownies, and marinated chicken. I totally would get why these women would explode. When even Bianca (C9/17) says it's an emergency, you know she's not lying!

[@Rose-jr4tx]

The fact that we get free videos on KZbin by VICE TV is truly a gift; keeping education and knowledge alive. 👏👍🤷

[@sk3zzer]

Not keeping it alive that well considering that they used to do indepth hour long stories and now they make clickbait like this and hide most of it behind a paywall

[@THEchiQ]

I hate reality TV. It was a cheap, exploitative work-around during a writers’ strike, that didn’t die when it should have. It’s neither reality or what I think of as TV. It’s tabloid crap.

[@Adonna2424]

I watched this show for the photoshoots, hated everything else. 😅

[@Lalaland099]

Wheres the full video??

[@Altaw33l]

Cancel tyra asap

[@fatboitino2]

Years too late-been caught the backlash

[@ZombieSarah07]

10 mins!!! I need more!

[@monicamlotshwa4531]

Tyra should have been arrested for this!!!!

[@carlintaylor2996]

Remember my sister's my Mom and cousin watching the Early seasons of this show every week you can tell most of them look uncomfortable doing this show

[@lovethyself744]

Time to expose both TYRA AND JANICE
