Tyra Banks Netflix Lawsuit: Why Is the Supermodel Suing the Streaming Giant?

Tyra Banks filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on June 13 concerning the 2026 docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model. Banks alleges that producers selectively edited a 3.5-hour interview to falsely imply she was aware of and ignored a contestant's sexual assault during the show. The legal action claims the streaming giant manipulated the footage to create a misleading narrative, leading the supermodel to seek justice for the damages caused by these accusations.
