Adrianne Curry is sharing her reaction to Netflix’s new America’s Next Top Model documentary — and Tyra Banks’ role in it.
The ANTM cycle 1 winner took to X on Monday, February 16, to call out Banks, 52, whom she deemed “not sorry” for the tales of alleged mistreatment, discrimination and sexual assault detailed by some of the show’s contestants in the doc.
“I have mad respect for Tyra Banks,” Curry, 43, said in a sarcastic video after Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model dropped Monday. “She is not sorry. She is not apologizing to you. That bitch is not effing sorry. She will not bend the knee. And I respect that.”
Curry continued, “We want her to lie, lie and say how bad she feels? Everyone’s coming to me and they’re like, ‘None of the judges are sorry.’ Why should they be? They’re all loaded. Why should they give a flying f***, you know? If they didn’t give a f*** at the time, they certainly ain’t gonna give a f*** now.”
“But mad respect for Tyra, because that’s hard to push back on that many people trying to struggle-session you, and she’s just like, ‘F**k you and [I] do what I want,’” Curry went on. “I gotta respect that. I tip my hat, m’lady.”
Curry concluded the video by addressing Banks. “Keep on being yourself, which is someone who doesn’t give a flying s***,” she said, before breaking into laughter.
Us Weekly has reached out to Banks’ representative for comment.
The retired model did not take part in Reality Check, which was billed as an unfiltered tell-all about the hit reality competition’s highs and lows. Banks and fellow judges Miss J. Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker did take part, however.
“I am deeply grateful I won the first season of top model. i think people psychoanalyzing it over 20 years later with a woke lens is absurd,” Curry said in a January X post. “I don’t trust people to not manipulate things I say for tv, so i decline everything. Also, the public is cult-like and cruel, so the last thing I want is a bunch of eyeballs on me.”
“I hope the other girls do not have their words twisted in their netflix show,” she added at the time.
Among the shocking revelations in Netflix’s Reality Check, ANTM cycle 2 contestant Shandi Sullivan alleged she was sexually assaulted when production relocated from the U.S. to Milan. She said the incident was used as a “plot line” on the show, with Sullivan, now 43, captured in tears while being accused of cheating during a phone call with her then-boyfriend, Eric.
“I remember him on top of me. I was blacked out. No one did anything to stop it,” Sullivan claimed in the doc. “And it all got filmed, all of it.”
Executive producer Ken Mok said on camera, “I will tell you this. When I went into postproduction and saw the footage, we scaled back that scene in a significant way … That was – for good or bad — one of the most memorable moments in Top Model.”
“I’m not head of story. That is Ken Mok. But I did become a master editor. It’s important for people to know that we didn’t put everything on TV,” Banks added in her own interview.
Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model is now streaming on Netflix.
