Tyra Banks Netflix Defamed Me with 'ANTM' Doc!

Published

Tyra Banks ain't just serving looks ... she just filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix following her participation in their "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model" docuseries.

The legal docs, filed Saturday and obtained by TMZ, allege Netflix only used 16 minutes from her over 3-hour interview with them and manipulated it "to support a false and defamatory narrative."

The lawsuit accuses producers of constructing a false narrative about Tyra through "selective editing, deliberate omission, and surgical manipulation of continuous footage -- including that Ms. Banks knowingly allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted on her show, exploited that contestant's trauma for ratings, and then could not even remember it when asked."

Jeff Metcalf Calls Out School Superintendent For Karmelo Anthony Decisions

Published | Updated

Austin Metcalf's dad ripped into pretty much everyone on his recent podcast appearance ... this time he's taking aim at the school superintendent, calling him a "bald-headed piece of s***."

Jeff Metcalf went after the Frisco Superintendent on Sarah Fields' "JinxedSip" podcast ... calling him "the most spineless, coward piece of s*** I've ever met in my entire life."

He blasted the superintendent for allowing Karmelo Anthony to graduate high school after stabbing his son to death at a track meet in April 2025. Jeff argued that Karmelo shouldn't have been able to graduate because he says the school handbook allegedly declares murder to be grounds for "mandatory expulsion."

Published | Updated

Suddenly, there's a "No City Slickers" rule in place for the NBA Finals game 5 ... the San Antonio Spurs are yanking tickets away from Knicks fans hoping to watch their team win its first 'chip in 53 years.

The message is loud and clear on the Ticketmaster page for Spurs tickets ... anyone buying tickets for Saturday night's crucial game will be blocked if ya ain't from 'round these parts. The actual warning reads, "Sales to this event will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center" ... the Spurs home arena.

Even if you're an out-of-towner who already has tickets, you're likely to get screwed, too. The Ticketmaster warning adds, violators of the rule will have their tickets "canceled without notice" ... but you will get a refund.

Donald Trump Watch His Name Be Stripped From Kennedy Center

Published | Updated

UPDATE

6/13 -- 4:15 AM PT -- The original deadline to remove Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has passed ... but on early Saturday, workers officially began dismantling the highly-debated letters.

But, as you can see ... the crew hung a massive white tarp from the building, so it's unclear how much progress has been made.

The court-ordered deadline was Friday, but the Kennedy Center asked a judge to extend the deadline until noon ET Saturday, citing thunderstorms causing a delay, AP reported. The work is expected to wrap up Saturday morning.

6/12 -- 4:57 PM -- A rainbow was spotted outside the Kennedy Center while a crowd gathered to watch Trump's name get taken down. It's a pretty poetic visual, considering it's Pride month.

Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.

Donald Trump's name is being removed from the Kennedy Center thanks to a judge's order ... and it's time for workers to rip off those big ol' letters ... and TMZ is streaming live.

The sitting president's name has to come off the Kennedy Center by the end of today ... the final day of the judge's deadline to comply with his ruling ... and all eyes are on the famed Washington D.C. arts institution as it gets a facelift.

Scaffolding's already in place ... and the construction crew's expected to get cracking on it any minute -- though they may be waiting to see if an appeals court waves them off at the 11th hour.
