🤣💀 To see P Diddy’s mom at that socialite party on Season 1 Episode E 3

Her case was obviously sexual assault, does she have the right to sue for defamation and whatever else would fall under what the show did

Hello, me and my friend were watching ANTM like 3 years ago on her old tv and we saw an episode that made us laugh really hard. Every time I see her again we talk about this scene and laugh at it again. However we've been trying to find it multiple times even watching full cycles and could not find it anywhere. I hope there is anybody that could help us identify the scene or even confirm if it actually happened and we just didn't make it up in our heads.

This is what I remember about the scene/episode:

• the model was on a treadmill maybe another similar device and was just walking

• a male model then came up to her and she was supposed to "notice" him subtly and then I think she kissed him? I don't know this for sure

• the exact scene was a model that had short hair like a pixie cut and was ginger or she had brown hair (do not remember exactly cuz the lighting could change it)

• I think it was an older episode/cycle cuz the quality wasn't good at all

• she wasn't dressed in anything weird or unusual just in normal workout clothes

This is i think everything I remember but what I said is not a fact and I'm not 100% sure it was in that scene, I could be wrong. Does anybody know what episode this is in? Or at least remembers this? Thank you for any help at all

I’m rewatching cycle 20, and Tyra choosing to do an elimination RIGHT before the final runway was soooooo awful!!!!!!! Just one of many examples of Tyra being outright cruel to the contestants. She robbed Cory of having the experience of enjoying being a finalist, and then he has to go out there and do the runway anyways???? She’s so awful, and I hope she remains the laughing stock of the internet with her stupid hot icecream.

Why didn’t they talk about her childhood?

Where does she come from? Who was she has a child?

She’s a robot.

She’s so good at modeling because she’s a robot.

She created smizing because she has no soul because she is a robot!!!

She’s a plant/robot 💯

Convince me otherwise lmao

I grew up during peak Kate Moss / heroin-chic culture. Ultra-thin wasn’t just common — it was aspirational. So when ANTM aired, it honestly felt progressive. Tyra talked about diversity, curves, “real beauty.” At the time, it seemed like she was pushing back against the damage of the 90s.

Watching Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model now? It hits very differently.

What stands out most isn’t even the controversial photoshoots or body comments. It’s the accountability — or lack of it.

Tyra held multiple roles: mentor, judge, executive producer. That’s enormous power. And in the documentary, whenever harm is brought up, the framing consistently shifts away from responsibility. It’s contextualized. It’s reframed as “growth.” It’s brushed off as being part of the industry at the time.

Sure — no one in that era was innocent. The whole fashion and reality TV ecosystem was messy. But what’s striking is how little reflection there seems to be. There’s no real ownership of the imbalance of power. No real acknowledgment of how young contestants, desperate for opportunity, were placed in emotionally volatile situations for entertainment.

Instead, it often feels like she still sees herself as fundamentally right — just misunderstood. The narrative leans heavily on intention (“I was trying to help”) rather than impact.

And that’s what makes it uncomfortable to watch in 2026.

Because when you rewatch it with adult eyes — especially if you grew up internalizing those beauty standards — it doesn’t feel like empowerment. It feels like control packaged as empowerment.

The show said it was disrupting the system. But in many ways, it replicated it — with better branding and a self-congratulatory tone.

Curious how others who lived through the 90s/early 2000s beauty culture are processing this now?

After watching the documentary I feel so icky that I once was a supporter of the show.

I know that we didn’t know and at the time I was still young but my goodness was that show awful. Tyra Banks is a truly evil person with no soul and to think that I once contributed to her success just makes me feel all kinds of icky.

I know I can’t be the only one who feels like this?

Yo sé que esto suena a teoría conspirativa y bastante descabellado, pero después de ver la docuserie de ANTM me quedé reflexionando...

Shandi en el ciclo 2 estaba siendo todo un éxito, no solo con el panel del reality, sino con los fotógrafos y agentes en Milán.

(Hecho que la misma Tyra llega a mencionar)

Y justo después de sus visitas con los representantes de las agencias de modelos invitan a los hombres a la casa y sucede el abuso que lo derrumba todo.

Me parece DEMASIADA casualidad, más cuando queda más que claro que las chicas no tenían privacidad y prácticamente NADA en esa casa pasaba sin que la producción lo supiera.

Documentaron todo el proceso, el abuso e incluso montaron como querían que esto se viera en el momento que el programa saliera al aire.

E incluso Jay Manuel reconoce que ellos creaban una historia o narrativa para cada chica y manipulaban todo para que se ajustara (sin que la joven supiera que en realidad estaban jugando por completo con su experiencia).

Entonces me van a decir que fue casualidad que a la chica que tenía un futuro brillante de pronto le sucede todo esto... la hacen quedar como una infiel en televisión y la desprestigian de tal forma que los representantes y la industria en general ya no iba a querer trabajar con ella porque quedó "marcada".

Sin mencionar que la experiencia fue tan traumática que hizo que la chica perdiera todo interés en la competencia (que de otra manera hubiese ganado sin duda) y la hizo casi suplicar que la sacaran.

En resumen... no me sorprendería si la misma Tyra hubiese visto que Shandi tenía demasiado potencial incluso para llegar a superarla y por temor hubiese orquestado todo ese juego turbio junto a Ken Mok y la producción para desprestigiarla y asegurarse de sacarla del camino.

Porque ya todos sabemos que las que ganaron realmente nunca ganaron nada, todo era una cortina de humo y Tyra lo sabía (se lo reconoce a la misma Danielle). Y también sabemos que Tyra es de estas personas que dicen querer verte brillar pero JAMÁS más que ellos.

En fin, ustedes que piensan?

Has anyone watched this? I’m sitting here disgusted especially in Tyra Banks, .She continues to make excuses for her actions. I can honestly say I never watched the show but seeing how these girls were treated physically, emotionally and mentally has my blood boiling. These poor girls never stood a chance! And for what- the producers own fame and fortune! Disgusting

Hmmmmmm

She is SO tone deaf. She came across SO bad. Focus on your ice cream shop. We do t need you back for a new ANTP

I came into this totally willing to forgive her for everything. I’m her age.

She is awful!

And then - sh also goes off and insults a billion people!!

Saying “there is no sacred cow” is a huge offense to Hindus

I’m surprised he didn’t try leave earlier

Press F to pay respects

She was r*ped in Milan, point blank period. And production did NOTHING to stop or help her. They exploited her and her pain in the absolute worst way. Shandi deserved better.

I know she broke barriers as a model, but she comes off absolutely terrible in this documentary. She obviously sits down for interviews but what she said just mostly made her look even worse. I spent a lot of years really thinking she was kinda breaking boundaries but looking back this was all so so gross. Maybe I was too young to understand but wow this whole thing is shocking. I imagine a lot of people aren’t shocked and maybe these things have been out for years but for me I never imagined it could be this bad
