Article excerpt

Tyra Banks is suing Netflix over a documentary about America's Next Top Model, claiming the streamer manipulated her interview footage to construct a false narrative that damages her reputation. The lawsuit, filed Saturday, centers on how Netflix allegedly edited Banks' comments to misrepresent her words and actions during the show's run. Banks' legal team argues the editing created defamatory statements that she never actually made. Netflix has not yet responded to the suit. The documentary in question examines the modeling competition series that Banks created and hosted for over a decade.
