Tyra banks is a monster
Chile, Tyra can keep cycle 25 of ANTM #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Jay Manuel needs to leave the fillers alone. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Miss Jay Alexander is the only one who took accountability for his part of ANTM. He said “yeah I said it” #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Which SCAD did Miss Jay Alexander work at? Savannah or Atlanta? #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
The plot was lost before The Jays and Nigel Baker were released from ANTM and before the network fired Tyra. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
The slow whisper talking, pseudo-philosophical, deep speak that Tyra is doing on #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel is corny and patronizing af
Tyra Banks is Super Villain, Ken Mok is the super villain’s sidekick, Miss Jay, Mr. Jay and Nigel Baker are the villain’s minions is the one of many takeaways I got from #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
This docseries, #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel, has Tyra coming across as unaccountable, irresponsible, derelict, and hella dismissive. Just smizing and acting oblivious. Talking about she did not have producer control but was the Executive Producer.
Jay Manuel just aired out his grievances but was active participant in the harm, say “it was the times/it’s the fashion industry” and not taking accountability at all. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
🙄 Tyra must have forgotten that she & Ken Mok made Isis’s time on ANTM a spectacle. Eva Marcel had to pivot into tv, esp. Black tv because of her time on ANTM. Winnie Harlow has said that she had to work twice as hard DESPITE her time on ANTM. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Tyra portraying herself as a Tiffany savior and the victim at the start of episode 3 is like ma’am please. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
I don’t believe Jay Manuel either. Nigel Baker still standing ten toes down on the Keeyah being groped by the male model is hella gross. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Tyra is a hypocrite fr fr. Her saying “it was the times, etc etc etc” Episode 1 and Episode 2 all she did was passed the buck to everyone else. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
ITyra saying that we are viewing ANTM through a 2020 and beyond lens for their problematicness like folks were not calling out the show back in 2012 until it’s ending. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
I don’t believe Tyra Banks when she said that she did not have any producer’s notes for the Shandi situation even though Ken Mok was the story producer. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel

This doc made me feel even worse for Danielle than I already did
#ANTM #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Tyra's response to Shandi's trauma is absolutely disgusting. And that's not even touching on the fact that Shandi was too drunk to give consent and they filmed her being assaulted. Wtf?!
#RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
#ANTM
They didn't press Tyra or Ken at all on this documentary. Next...
#ANTM #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel
Shandi was assaulted. She was r*ped. She was blacked out. Why are they still framing it as she cheated on her boyfriend?

Chile, if I was asked me to fire three people who were foundational to my show, I would just cancel it. #RealityCheckInsideAmericasNextTopModel #Netflix
