Banks’ defamation suit follows her participation in the three-part documentary, which drew significant attention to the exploitative nature of early reality TV.
Tyra Banks filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix on Saturday, accusing the streaming giant of manipulating her into participating in a bombshell documentary about her former reality show “America’s Next Top Model.”
班克斯的诽谤诉讼紧随她参与的三集纪录片之后，该片引起了对早期真人秀剥削性质的广泛关注。
泰拉·班克斯周六对Netflix提起诽谤诉讼，指控这家流媒体巨头操控她参与一部关于她前真人秀《美国超级模特》的爆炸性纪录片。

找到了一篇比较详细的报道，还是先发英文，再发翻译。

Netflix’s “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” chronicles both the show’s historic successes and its controversies, including an early contestant claiming she was sexually assaulted on camera, another undergoing cosmetic surgery to remain in the competition, and a challenge that required contestants to wear blackface.
Banks participated in the three-part documentary, which drew significant attention for examining the exploitative nature of early reality television. She now alleges that her confessionals were “stripped of context and reassembled to support a false and defamatory narrative unrelated to what she actually expressed.”
“The false narrative the producers constructed — through selective editing, deliberate omission, and surgical manipulation of continuous footage — included 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,” the lawsuit states. “That narrative about Ms. Banks is a complete fabrication — one that Netflix streamed to a global audience of millions.”
Netflix declined to comment.

Netflix的《现实检验：美国超级名模内幕》记录了该节目的历史性成功与争议，包括一位早期参赛者声称在镜头前遭受性侵、另一位选手接受整容以留在比赛中，以及一项要求选手涂黑脸的挑战。
Tyra参与了这部三集纪录片，该片因探讨早期真人秀的剥削性质而引起广泛关注。她现在声称她的忏悔“被剥离了背景，重新拼凑成支持与她实际表达内容无关的虚假诽谤叙述。”
诉讼称：“制片人通过选择性剪辑、故意省略和对连续画面的外科手术式操控构建的虚假叙事，包括Banks女士明知故犯地允许一名参赛者在她的节目中遭受性侵，利用该参赛者的创伤来提升收视率，甚至在被问及时都记不起这件事。”“关于Banks女士的那个叙述完全是
捏
造的——Netflix却向全球数百万人直播了。”
Netflix拒绝置评。

Banks says she agreed to participate because she believed viewers deserved “candid conversation about the show’s legacy — its successes and its shortcomings.” The suit notes that Netflix aired only 16 minutes of a 3 1/2-hour interview in which she placed no restrictions on the topics she could be asked about.
The lawsuit accuses Netflix producers of selectively editing portions of Banks’ interview to make it seem like she was responding to questions about a former contestant’s sexual assault — “something Ms. Banks had never heard before and was not told during her interview.” Contestant Shandi Sullivan claimed in the documentary that she was assaulted during filming of the show’s second season.

Banks表示，她同意参与是因为她相信观众理应“有关于该剧遗产——成功与不足——进行坦诚的对话”。诉状指出，Netflix只播出了3个半小时采访中的16分钟，她在采访中对可被问及的话题没有任何限制。
诉讼指控Netflix制作方有选择性地剪辑了班克斯采访的部分内容，使她看起来像是在回答关于前参赛者性侵的问题——“这是班克斯女士此前从未听说过，也未在采访中被告知的。”参赛者Shandi Sullivan 在纪录片中声称，她在第二季拍摄期间遭到了性侵。

“Defendants edited the Netflix Series to make it appear that Ms. Banks knew she was being asked about a sexual assault and was intentionally trying to evade the topic,” the lawsuit states. “Ms. Banks respects Ms. Sullivan’s perspective and the courage it takes for Ms. Sullivan and others to speak up.”
“Ms. Banks wishes somebody involved with the Netflix Series would have told her what Ms. Sullivan shared with them,” the suit continues. “But they deliberately chose not to.”
Sullivan did not immediately return a request for comment.

一场好戏惹

诉讼称：“被告剪辑了Netflix剧集，以使Banks女士看起来明知自己被问及性侵案件，并故意回避该话题。”“泰拉女士尊重Shandi女士的观点，以及Shandi女士和其他人发声所需的勇气。”
诉状继续写道：“班克斯女士希望Netflix剧集相关人员能告诉她 Shandi Sullivan女士与他们分享的内容。”“但他们是故意不做的。”
Shandi没有立即回复记者的置评请求。

Banks is seeking damages for “loss of future business opportunities, loss of business income, other compounding losses as will be shown at trial.” No specific mo

The suit alleges the documentary has caused “significant harm and damage to the personal brand she has worked for decades to build and maintain throughout the world,” adding that online ratings for her Sydney-based ice cream business, SMiZE & DREAM, have “plummeted” since the documentary aired.
“America’s Next Top Model” premiered in 2003 and ran for 24 seasons across UPN, The CW and VH1 before ending in 2018. In the documentary, Banks expressed interest in producing a 25th season of the show, though it remains unclear whether another iteration of the series will materialize.
“Every other conversation about ANTM’s legacy — including the candid reflection Ms. Banks came prepared to have — is now drowned out by an accusation she was never given the chance to answer,” the suit states.

Tyra正在寻求赔偿“未来商业机会的损失、业务收入的损失以及其他复利损失，这些将在审判中显示。”未列出具体金额。
诉讼称该纪录片对她数十年来在全球努力建立和维护的个人品牌造成了“重大伤害和损害”，并补充说，自纪录片播出以来，她位于悉尼的冰淇淋公司SMiZE & DREAM的在线收视率“急剧下滑”。
《美国超级模特》于2003年首播，在UPN、CW和VH1播出24季，最终于2018年结束。在纪录片中，班克斯表达了制作该剧第25季的兴趣，但目前尚不清楚该剧是否会有新版本的诞生。
诉状称：“关于ANTM遗产的其他所有对话——包括Banks女士准备坦率反思的那场对话——现在都被一个她从未被给予回应机会的指控淹没。

我再发一个关于此事的短报道吧。

Tyra Banksain'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."
ICYMI, Cycle 2 contestantShandi Sullivanaccused the "America's Next Top Model" production team of failing to protect her from a sexual assault by a guest on the show, and then ignoring the assault and molding it into a humiliating infidelity storyline. During the doc, Tyra said she remembered Shandi's storyline but explained, "It's a little difficult for me to talk about production because that's not my territory."
But in the lawsuit, Tyra argues she had no idea Shandi was participating in the docuseries and that she labeled her experience as a sexual assault. The lawsuit slams, "The implication is devastating and deliberate: that Tyra Banks cannot even remember the story of the woman who was assaulted on her show."
Banks also says she didn't get access to the completed docuseries until Feb. 15, 2026 -- just one day before it premiered on Netflix. By that point, she claims trailers, promotional materials, and press outreach were already underway.
Beyond the documentary itself, Banks is also taking issue with a soundtrack tied to the project. She alleges Netflix used her image on the cover art without authorization, creating the false impression she endorsed the release

泰拉·班克斯不仅仅是在服务外表......她刚刚在参与Netflix的纪录片系列《现实检验：美国下一任超级模特内幕》后，对Netflix提起了诽谤诉讼。
这些法律文件于周六提交，TMZ获得，指控Netflix仅利用了她超过3小时采访中的16分钟片段，并“用来支持虚假且诽谤性的叙事”。
诉讼指控制片方通过“选择性剪辑、故意省略和对连续画面的外科手术式操控——包括班克斯女士明知故犯允许选手在节目中遭受性侵，利用该选手的创伤来提升收视率，甚至在被问及时都记不起”，从而构建了关于泰拉的虚假叙事。
如果是我所知的话，第二季参赛者尚迪·沙利文指责《美国超级名模生死斗》制作团队未能保护她免受嘉宾性侵，随后忽视了这一性侵，并将其塑造成一个令人羞辱的出轨剧情。在纪录片中，Tyra说她记得Shandi的故事线，但解释说：“我很难谈论制作，因为那不是我的领域。”
但在诉讼中，泰拉辩称她完全不知道Shandi参与了该纪录片系列，并将自己的经历定性为性侵。诉讼严厉批评道：“这种暗示是毁灭性的且蓄意的：说泰拉·班克斯甚至记不得那个在她节目中被性侵的女性的故事。”
Tyra还说，她直到2026年2月15日才获得完整纪录片系列的访问权限——就在Netflix首播前一天。到那时，她声称预告片、宣传材料和媒体宣传已经开始。
除了纪录片本身，Banks还对与该项目相关的原声带提出异议。她声称Netflix未经授权在封面艺术中使用了她的形象，制造了她支持该发行的错误印象。
