#TSRExclusiveDetails: The new documentary centered around the modeling competition show ANTM has been the talk of social media. Former contestants and the show’s judges sat down and got real about what happened behind the scenes. As well as how the show has impacted their lives. 
____________________________________
The show has produced so many memorable models that have left everlasting impressions. #BiancaGolden, who was a part of Cycle 9 and Cycle 17, and #IsisKing, who was a part of Cycle 11 and Cycle 17, stepped into The Shade Room to share their thoughts on the doc and their personal experiences with the show.

We also spoke with Cycle 3 contestant #ToccaraJones, who said, “While watching ‘Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,’ I must admit there were moments I felt uncomfortable, saddened, and heartbroken as I listened to other models detailing painful, disappointing moments from their experiences. And although I had some of the same experiences—hell, I wanted to smack that stylist—but at the same time, I wanted to be on TV. I wanted to be famous. I signed up for this.”

She added, “I would’ve loved to have seen Tyra show some vulnerability and empathy in the documentary, but she accomplished her original mission, which was to create a disruptive show exposing the harsh realities concerning the business of modeling. And she did that. She made history. And she did it her way. Good, bad, or indifferent.”

“I would not have had the opportunity to be the first Black plus-sized supermodel to come across your screen. In my personal experience, I’ve been very grateful to have Tyra offering me other opportunities, returning my phone calls, and giving me good advice. Regardless of the spectrum of success shown in the documentary, I’m proud of the collection of models I stand in sisterhood with.” (SWIPE)—(📸: gettyimages)—(🎥: antmvh1) ✍🏾: #TSRStaffJWx
