Jay Manuel is just as guilty no matter how much he tries to dissociate himself. He was rude, nasty, condescending and manipulative to most of the models who really confided in his expertise.

Tyra always gave Mean Girl vibes but cried about Naomi Campbell "bullying" her 😒...

Jay manuel can claim he was forced and didn't want to do bad ish all day but he was always the first to roll his eyes at the models and remind them they could replaced, he could have walked off set at any time and still have a career to fall back on, these girls could not

Janice Dickinson seems like such a horrible person.

Telling an SA survivor to "get over it"........absolutely sickening and cruel😭😭🤬

Telling a SA survivor to get over her abuse, at age 11? And just kiss a guy for modelling? Or her career is over? Yikes.

Tyra really got off on making those girls feel broken and bringing their spirits down. She was extremely sadistic. The jays, Janice and Nigel were just as complicit.

Jay Manuel is an absolute snake, he was so nasty to the models on this and went along happily with the problematic photoshoots yet when people called Tyra out (rightfully so) he threw her under the bus and tried to remove himself from the story! Serpent behaviour.

I love how hypocritical she is about beauty standards. She would make some real shady comments about the size of the models, but when they came for her? She was all emotional, yelling kiss my fat ass, etc, etc.

tyra said "hair extensions/weaves should leave bumps or rashes! that's beauty is pain" uuuuuh no. as someone who always gets my hair done, it should never ever leave bumps/rashes unless it was done by a stylist that has no clue what they're doing!!! poor girls

Jay is no freakin angel!! He is super problematic just like Tyra!

That show was verbally and emotionally abusive for the contestants. Now I hear that they were not given food and were starved, it’s also physical abuse.

Saying only one Asian model can exist at one time is an absolutely wild thing to say.

There was a contestant that said she got a psychological evaluation and that the trauma that was uncovered during a therapy session was used against her during the show for drama.

It's sad how so many of them knew that their feelings were valid but were was gaslit and made to feel like they were crazy or ungreatful. Tyra was wrong on so many levelssss.

One of the most disturbing things that I hated the most is during Cycle 7, when Trya knew about the racism Jaeda faced. She could’ve just fire that male model to shed light on what would have happened if u’re a racist on her show. She just let him slide by and told Jaeda to suck it up. It’s just stupid.

I was an audience member on her talk show and it was dark, I must say. Tyra doesn’t act the same off camera that’s for sure 😏 she was pretty rude to her staff & guest, didn’t even acknowledge the audience unless we were filming. Just a ton of awkward silence and rude remarks to her team.

Tyra would make a lot of models shave or cut their hair super short for that edgy look. Yet, she always had long, beautiful hair. I always thought “why doesn’t she shave her own hair if it’s so edgy” They just did it for the tears/ drama. Poor girls..

And Tyra had the nerve to drag THE Naomi Campbell up on her triflin' ass show and criticize her for being a bully. She is truly a mess.

Tyra made one girl close her tooth gap and made another girl wide her tooth gap. Wtf is up with that. One of the many unhealthy things on this show

I remember when she made Cassandra (pageant girl) cut off all her long dark hair and gave her a bleach blonde yellow pixie cut. That's when I knew Tyra was a mean girl, she wanted to break that girl

i modelled from age 12 and watching this show growing up i thought i was too short, too thick, and too "hood" to model high fashion so i would do music videos which was an even more dangerous space. Thank you for pointing out how much damage this show had on BIPOC models

"Her friend just passed". Jay: "ooh my gosh". 😐 Yeah. He was so shocked. Someone give him an Oscar, best actor alive.

Her comment about the gap teeth didn't age well... wasn't there a Maybelline or cover girl in the last few years with a gap in her teeth? She's so pretty!!

The models had to restart their portfolios because no modelling agency would hire them if they were in the show.

Tyra got rich off of other girls misery. The things she put them through, disregarding both their mental and physical wellbeing in the name of entertainment is unforgivable.

12:13 I wish they would have done the same with a picture of Janice before and after her surgeries. Nasty behavior.

Like Janice got room to talk. I'm pretty sure her name ALWAYS shows up on the lists of "Plastic Surgery GONE WRONG". The before pic is beautiful, the after pic looks like the Doctor did a hack job. Karma definitely got her revenge.

Sadly 14 year old me was obsessed. And with that being said felt UGLY … and fat..

I used to watch the show when I was 19. Now that I'm 40 and realize that Tyra is only hurting herself in the long run. And if she were smart she would "apologize" but I don't think she'd be forgiven. I used to love Tyra but now I don't and for her to get away with murder for so long is beyond me. But her days are numbered because those girls didn't deserve to be treated that way. When you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem and Tyra is that person who is guilty by association and part of the problem.

Tyra is so cringe

I like how they bullied one girl for her gap in her teeth yet they literally put a gap in some other girls' teeth. where is the logic? they just made things up as they went

After losing my best friend, I could not imagine someone forcing me to take a photo in a grave the same week she passed, I would’ve lost my mind too

I audibly cackled while eating dinner when you roasted Janice Dickinson when you said “girl, Janice, you’re barely holding it together on stage” 😭😭😭❤️

Tyra Banks is the type of person who is still stuck in her "High School" mentality until adulthood

I'm convinced that Tyra created this whole mess so she could get away with being a sadist.

Tyra is the reason Beyonce doesn't do interviews and talk shows any more

Also didn't Jay Manuel also write a "fictional" book about a model completion trying to profit of the trauma these models faced on the show because of him, Tyra, and the whole team? I'm ashamed I ever watched this show smh

What was done to Lisa D’Amato, Jael Strauss, Angelea Preston, Jeana Turner, and so many more was so unacceptable and cruel, thank you for speaking on this ❤️

So glad we're talking about this show! It was super TOXIC!

I’ll never forget when she had the models in a freezing cold pool and how all of them were getting sick smh that episode always pissed me off so bad!

What about Kate Moss or Vanessa Paradis? they were famous for their gaps.

I am german. We have Heidi Klum's show Germany's next topmodel and I see many similarities 😢 it's so sad to see that now looking back how young I was, when I watched both shows and thought this was normal.. ☹️

Half these challenges look inspired by Fear Factor

I have horrible TV/movie memory but one thing I will never forget is that time Tyra made that poor girl get her head shaved. Tragic.

They always pushed these women to be vulnerable and then would turn around and tear into them for that very same vulnerability. It was heinous.

Tyra would always get rid of the girls that were really beautiful, you can tell Tyra was jealous of them .I don't see how she ever became a model......

I was I think 10 and I remember Danielle being told her gap was ugly, then looking in the mirror at my big gap and thinking I was ugly...until Danielle said "Why not?" to Tyra's face. I know she went through with partially closing it, but Danielle's attitude about her teeth made me feel better about mine.

Gaps are becoming more and more popular. I have one and have been made fun of my whole life, so imagine how disgusted I was as an adult watching Tyra and Jay say that...adult bullies.

What I don't understand is that if she went through cruel bullying herself in her younger years, why did she do the same thing to others who were young, hopeful and positive, especially if she was given the fortune and opportunity to help others? I guess morality and ethics are key here.

So there was a girl named Michelle that was on cycle 4 and I felt so bad for her the whole time, she was the one that had the sores in her head and on her face when they were bleaching her hair to an extreme blonde!! She was literally bawling in pain! Well imagine My surprise when I saw her waitress at a golden corral near My home in Virginia.. I recognized her immediately and talked to her, she was very sweet and humble and I was like I felt so bad for you in that scene.. she said it was really awful.. I think she went pretty far too like down to the bottom 6 .. kudos to you Michelle you still beautiful!!

Tyra needed to be cancelled years ago. She can stay gone

I worked on the series African Safari as the Art director. The production and Tyra was the most horrible people I ever dealt with.

There’s just no way this women Tyra deserves to get past the cancel culture unscathed, this women was ruthless

I remember so many of these episodes and I used to feel so bad for the girls. They were put through hell and I remember feeling like alot of their experiences were traumatic.

Considering the things Tyra claimed was said to her when she sad first trying to get into modeling (too dark, lips too big, butt poking out too much because of her shape, etc) you would think she would've had more compassion when dealing with the girls

They all were such beautiful models that did not deserve the treatment they got. It's sickening we grew up with this on TV.

Anyone else feel like Tyra hates her skin tone sad but it seems that way how she's always belittles people with darker skin tones...

Janice wanted to always talk about the girls, but she looks a mess her own self. I hated her on the show

The way they treated Rachel is season 13 was terrible. Eliminated off camera for not being media trained on a second episode. She ended up being on multiple music videos!.

Notice there was never an indigenous woman

Wasn't Tyrant's-I mean- Tyra's tantrum caused by the fact that Tiffany was smiling and laughing with some of the other contestants after she was eliminated? She wasn't crying and walking out with her head bowed in shame, so Tyra humiliated her. 🤬

I'm glad that was one of the many reality shows I never wanted to watch

I have never, ever cared for Tyra Banks. Never.

The show Unreal depicted how these reality shows cruelly manipulate the contestants. Once I saw that, I really couldn’t watch reality TV anymore. There’s nothing real about it. This is an excellent expose, Sloan, and clearly illustrates just how cruel these shows can be.

I will 10000000% turn away a job if i have to kiss someone i dont want to or do anything im not comfortable with

I used to love this show as a young girl and was so naive. Didn't even see the evil or see how messed up it all was. Watching this now, I'm just so floored.

On the topic of the traumatizing make overs, besides microaggressions and not having stylists who knew what they were doing, they also gave some girls such radical styles in the name of "transforming their look" but didn't give the girls any help with the care and upkeep some of the styles required.

20 years down the road, there will be the same analysis on rupaul's drag race. he's been exploiting the queens a lot lately, especially with the insane contracts

I love Tyra Banks claims how horribly bullied she was by Naomi Campbell but Tyra made a living off of traumatizing and bullying other models.

The whole race swapping was one of the biggest red flags for me. I'm amazed that this show was still on.

What's crazy is what I noticed that most models have something that stands out which is their signature look. And if you're skinny and really tall plus what you think is a flaw is turned into a signature look that fashion designers love. The space in between the teeth or a mole is something like that.

Tyra was acting like a snob. So rude when she was talking about that girl's Gap. I have a gap so the comment Tyra made, kind of hurt my feelings a little. But I think nowadays people don't find it as ugly.

Jay Manuel is no different from all the people who got the clot shot, now regret it because of all of the health issues they're having but claim they "had to" because their job "made them". This isn't a dictatorship. No one forced him (or them) to do these things, they just didn't want to make any type of sacrifice by saying "no". People who stand by their morals & ethics don't back down even if it means they lose out on something they really want.

I think the funniest most cringiest thing Tyra did is claim that after practicing how to dance flamenco she forgot it all and when she was on the runway she rocked it anyway but if you watch the actual footage of her doing that, it looks horrific, kinda like how Beyonce dances thinking it's sexy. Very embarrassing

I remember seeing this show and thinking I'd never put up with this crap especially because it didn't seem to turn anyone into a top model.

Tyra & Co. we’re treating these young women like disposable Barbie dolls with the hair situation. It’s sick to see🤮🤢

I love Tiffany and Tara treated her horribly

So Tyra was crying wolf about being Bullied by Naomi Campbell in her early days and she in turn did the same to other young aspiring models Disgusting !!!!!!

My mother was a beautician for 40 years and I've learned a _lot_ from her. Based on the valuable lessons I've learned let me just say this: That thing about your hair always growing back is a _lie!_ Yes, your hair will continue to grow, but if you have especially long hair and cut it off on the premise that it will grow back eventually you are fooling yourself. As you grow older, your hair grows more fragile and its breakoff point gets shorter and shorter. My mother tried to warn me of this when I was a senior in high school and decided on a whim to cut off my waist-length hair to an asymmetrical style. (One side to the middle of my ear, the other side to my chin. Hey, it was the 80s, don't judge me.) I told her it would eventually grow back, and she rolled her eyes and begged me to rethink it, but I wouldn't. I don't know if it was because it was her job and she was so beautiful or if it was just because I grew up in a decade where big, long hair was such a _must have,_ but I very much associated a woman's hair with her looks. While my hair was short, I felt _ugly_ and the number of people who openly said they hated it didn't help. I waited anxiously for my hair to grow back.... .....and it never did. At least, not to the original length. Nowhere near it. It used to come to my waist, just grazing my belt. Now-at its longest-it barely grazes my bra. I haven't had a major haircut in 30 years, but it never grew back. So, ladies, think long and hard before you chop off that hair you've been growing so carefully all your life. Yes, it'll grow, but it might never _all grow back._

35:00 when my mother yells at me it is because she is abusing me.

I feel like they picked on peoples traumas and used it against them in a shoot. That’s wild and sad smh

She was brutal and honestly thought she was above everyone

It's Always been weird to me to paint Naomi to be the villain, they were definitely pinned against each other but Tyra is no angel

“You gotta work extra hard now that you don’t have any hair on your head” said by Ms j with a smirk was so infuriating! How sadistic can one be 28:18 such a b****. She was on a mission to destroy her confidence

I think it's fair to say times have changed since the early 2000s-2010s. What was passable for television then would cause uproar today

My cousin loved that show. My cousin was also anorexic and almost died from it. She was put into a mental institution for it, and hospitalized 3 times. But man, this was her favorite show.😢

I watched this show when it on tv. I didn’t watch the later seasons. I don’t think of this show the same way anymore

absolutely disgusting how these girls are treated I am so angry 🤬

Please do a video about the Tyra show. I watched it whenever I was at home sick, along with ANTM as a kid. So I'm totally interested.

I think posing or in or around graves for a picture is cringe. Especially in a graveyard, like have respect for the dead and have respect for the gift of life.

i feel like they gaslit the shit out of the models ALL THE TIME it was upsetting even when i was young

Lauren Hutton was a big time model in the 80’s and she had very noticeable gap in her teeth.

Maybe we got a jlo situation where she felt so threatened by other Latinas becoming to big where they would outshine her and Tyra might have been like that to some degree

used to be my fav show to watch too! but now looking back it is shocking and I am sorry for the girls that were treated so unfairly...

she is a joke, not liked by her peers.....

Remember how Tyra would encourage contestants to share personal details about past traumas. It is shameful how she treated the gals. The ladies often expressed appreciation for the opportunity Tyra gave them-what a con for the audience.

I think that “models stereotype” photoshoot was very valuable and important. It’s like a time capsule for where we were as a society and it’s a testament to how far we’ve come. I think it also prevents us from repeating those same mistakes!

Sew-in’s HURT. Last time I got one, I had to take pain killers for 3 days
