The allegations about America's Next Top Model (ANTM) have been made public in E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals, a series of which focuses on the show's alleged dark side. Critics have accused the reality competition of being toxic AF while promoting inclusivity and expanding the modeling industry's narrow definition of commercial beauty. Several former contestants have alleged that they were traumatized by the show, either behind the scenes or on camera, and that Tyra Banks' behavior was inconsistent. The show's host, Tyra, acknowledged the recent rewatch and admitted to some problematic moments on ANTM, but remained defiant about the show she created. Janice Dickinson, a judge on the first four cycles of ANTM and a former contestant on Cycle 17, alleged that Tyr put the girls down for their appearance and behavior, and said Tyra put them down for "revenge" during their initial run on Cycle 5.
