Tyra Banks believes she finally has the receipts to clear her name after getting dragged in Netflix's "America's Next Top Model" docuseries ... pointing to a couple of comparison videos she says show her words were twisted.
In Tyra's latest filing, obtained by TMZ, Tyra uses the videos to fight Netflix's attempt to dismiss her defamation lawsuit.
United States District Court Central District of California
The first video centers on former contestant Shandi Sullivan. After Shandi describes an alleged sexual assault in the documentary, Tyra is asked, "You remember the story with Shandi?"
Episode 1 leaves viewers with Tyra saying "Um" before cutting to black -- making it appear as if she was unable to say whether she remembered the alleged assault on a contestant on the show.
Jay Manuel's Connecticut crib is no longer in the running to be the "America's Next Top Model" star's Next Top Home ... because he's listing it for millions, TMZ has learned.
Jay is putting the 5-bed, 5-bath mansion on the market for $4.65 million ... and the place is 7,907 square feet of pure luxury.
The estate is decked out with a heated saltwater pool and spa.
Inside, the posh pad features a gorgeous kitchen, sky-high ceilings, beautiful bathrooms and even a fitness center.
Tyra Banks’ fight for hours of unaired footage shot for the "America’s Next Top Model" documentary is heating up ... with the producers scoffing at the supermodel’s request, TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Netflix and the documentary producers are opposing Tyra's attempt to get her hands on the unaired raw footage of her former friends Miss J and Jay Manuel that didn’t end up in the doc.
Tyra believes the footage could help prove her claim that she was defamed due to producers selectively editing the interviews.
Tyra Banks wants to see exactly what her former friends Miss J and Jay Manuel said about her to Netflix ... even the parts that didn't air on the documentary about America's Next Top Model ... TMZ has learned.
In court docs, obtained by TMZ, the supermodel raises questions about producers' claim that the final doc released on Netflix was the product of "ordinary editorial decisions."
Tyra is suing the producers for defamation and seeking unspecified damages … claiming the producers only used 16 minutes of her 3-hour interview … and manipulated the footage to push a false narrative.
One of the claims Tyra took issue with was that she exploited a contestant's sexual assault on the show.
Netflix wants Tyra Banks' "America's Next Top Model" documentary defamation lawsuit off the runway for good -- officially asking a judge Friday to toss it.
The filing, obtained by TMZ, basically laughs off the model's claims Netflix defamed her and represented her in a poor light in this year's "Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model" doc, arguing that she agreed to be interviewed and signed a release giving the filmmakers broad editing rights ... and can't just sue because she does not like how she was portrayed.
The filing further argues that when you take away Tyra's claims of "manipulation" and "surgical editing," it's reduced to a "request for more airtime and an edit more to her liking."
"America's Next Top Model" winner Adrianne Curry was horrified over Perez Hilton livestreaming his apparent self-harm ... and she's ready to forgive him for being a "bully" back in the day.
Adrianne shared her supportive message in reaction to trolls who gave her grief for condemning anyone who was trying to monetize videos of a seemingly blood-soaked Perez during his emergency.
The model says that in his heyday, Perez was a "bully" who trolled her often ... drawing "wieners" on her pictures.
"America's Next Top Model" winner Eva Marcille is siding with Tyra Banks in her lawsuit against Netflix ... and Eva's hoping Tyra walks away with a huge payday.
We got Eva at LAX on Monday ... and our photog asked her about Tyra's defamation suit against the streaming giant.
Eva is firmly Team Tyra, telling us ... "Get your money, Black woman. Do your thing."
Janice Dickinson says Kris Jenner served as an example for her new facelift ... an example of what NOT to do ... telling us she shopped around to make sure she didn't come out looking like Kris ... who she compares to a gerbil!!!
The model and reality star joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday alongside her plastic surgeon, Beverly Hills-based Dr. Harrison Lee, and told us about her recent facial transformation. She said she did her due diligence to find a doctor who could give her the right look.
Janice takes some serious swipes at Kris, telling us she saw what Kris' doctor did and didn't want the same for her ... comparing Kris' cheeks to a gerbil storing food. Her words, not ours.
Tyra Banks is getting a taste of her own medicine, and it's laughable she doesn't like it ... at least that's what Adrianne Curry is implying.
Here's the deal ... Tyra's suing Netflix for defamation, saying the streaming service used only a fraction of her 3-hour interview "to support a false and defamatory narrative" in its docuseries, "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model."
But the original 'ANTM' winner went on social media Sunday to point out that's exactly what Tyra did to all of the contestants on her show, saying ... "I read that Tyra Banks is suing Netflix because she didn't like being edited."
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."
Janice Dickinson is strutting into A.I. ... TMZ is told she's launching a new runway critique app designed to help aspiring models sharpen their catwalk game.
The self proclaimed "World's First Supermodel" is teaming up with Flowroom to launch "Super Model AI," an app where users can upload runway or audition videos and get feedback on everything from posture and stride to turns, arm movement, and facial expressions.
The company says the experience is based on the same unfiltered critique Janice already shares online ... using an A.I. version of her persona to review submissions and spot standout runway walks.
We had the honor of having Janice Dickinson -- the world's first supermodel -- host "TMZ After Dark" ... and she turned the bus into a runway, having passengers serve catwalks for her, as she judged them in typical "America's Next Top Model" style.
Speaking of 'ANTM' ... Janice says she's "tired of talking about 'America's Next Top Model,'" explaining how she's sorry she did the show, and actually thinks Tyra Banks is a BITCH -- she made sure to tell us twice!! Janice went after Tyra for not only being mean to her, but for abusing models, making them change ethnicities, and making them pull their teeth out and shave their hair off.
After she eviscerated Tyra, she went on to perform her music hits on the bus, including "Get Me Out of this Dress" and "I Coined It" -- played by DJ Coach West, who created an insane atmosphere on the bus, impressing Janice much.
Janice took the passengers to Jameson's Pub and the Rainbow Bar and Grill, who gave her their famous chicken soup to go, and our grand finale was at the Burgundy Room, where we got their delicious green tea shots.
Winnie Harlow made quite the fashion statement during an event -- she stepped out in a sheer outfit without a bra ... and her confidence certainly turned heads.
The Canadian model pulled up to the star-studded event at Gekko Miami over the weekend to celebrate "The CEO Club" Prime Video docuseries, which features Harlow, Serena Williams,and others.
Harlow later shared her glam pics with her 9 million Instagram followers in honor of International Women's Day on Sunday ... and her outfit left little to the imagination.
Miss J Alexander’s health battle has been devastating to watch -- especially after opening up in the new "America’s Next Top Model" doc -- and now he needs public support to help cover the crushing cost of recovery.
Miss J’s close friend and talent manager, Steven Grossman, has launched a GoFundMe to help pay for ongoing treatment, specialized care, rehab services, and daily living support -- all stemming from the debilitating stroke Miss J suffered back in 2022.
Fans got a glimpse of Miss J's struggle in "Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model" ... but the GoFundMe reveals just how serious it was -- Miss J spent five months in a coma and woke up unable to walk or speak.
Tyra Banks still hasn't come to see Miss J Alexander after his stroke, even after the 'Reality Check' blowback ... and Miss J is opening up about how much the neglect has hurt him.
During an interview with Sherri Shepherd, Miss J revealed Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, George Lopez, and his former 'ANTM' cohosts Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker all went out of their way to visit him after his traumatic medical event ... but the woman he taught how to walk the runway? M.I.A.
To be fair, Miss J says Tyra "reached out" when "it first happened," but the fact she couldn't go the extra mile to see him in person made him feel "a certain kinda way."
Eva Marcille is making it crystal clear -- she had no clue about the dark side of "America’s Next Top Model" now blowing up in Netflix’s scandal-soaked doc.
The Cycle 3 winner told "CBS Mornings" Thursday she was gobsmacked watching "Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model" ... saying it felt bizarre for her to be part of a club, and not know what’s actually going on in the club.
Eva admitted she could relate to some of the pressure contestants faced ... but said nothing in her own experience came close to the disturbing claims now coming to light, which firmly put show host Tyra Banks in the hot seat.
