Netflix is taking a deep dive into the legacy and controversy of America’s Next Top Model with a new documentary titled Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, premiering February 16.
Tyra Banks, who hosted the long-running competition series for its first 22 seasons, is one of the central voices in the film.
In a trailer released January 26, the supermodel and TV host acknowledges she’s ready to address the conversation surrounding the show. “I haven’t really said much,” the 52-year-old says, “but now it’s time.”
Banks reflects on her original intentions for the series, which ran for 24 seasons, explaining that she set out to challenge the fashion industry’s narrow standards. However, she also admits that in trying to meet audience expectations, things sometimes went too far. “I knew I went too far,” Tyra concedes. “It was very very intense, but you guys were demanding it, so we kept pushing. More and more and more.”
