Tyra Banks sues Netflix over alleged defamation tied to a documentary about “America’s Next Top Model,” and Netflix now responds to the claims. Banks argues the series creates a “false narrative” about her. She says the filmmakers used only a limited portion of her interview in the final program, pointing to the fact that just 16 minutes of a three-hour interview were ultimately included.
The dispute comes as the lawsuit moves through the courts. According to reporting, Banks filed the lawsuit in June, and Netflix’s reply addresses the allegations raised by her complaint. The sources frame the matter as a legal conflict over how her comments and involvement are presented in the documentary, while providing limited detail about Netflix’s specific counterarguments beyond rejecting the defamation claims.
Overall, both outlets describe the same core issues: Banks’ allegation of a misleading narrative and Netflix’s formal legal response to those allegations, with attention on the proportion of her interview that appears in the finished documentary.
