‘America’s Next Top Model’ Star Tiffany Richardson Calls Out Tyra Banks Over Documentary: “You Was a Bully!”

Published: Tuesday 17th Feb 2026 by Malik Davis

The latest Netflix doc,’ Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, is opening the floodgates. 

Full story below…

Former contestants are speaking out, and Tiffany Richardson is the latest to break her silence.

She’s addressing her treatment on the show and calling out Tyra Banks, labeling her a “bully.”

While Tyra has previously said there was a reason behind the way she coached on the series, Tiffany isn’t holding back.

She was, of course, at the center of that now-viral moment when Tyra Banks screamed, “We were all rooting for you!” a clip that has dominated pop culture history.

Now, Tiffany is sharing her side.

In a statement, she said:

“Tyra Banks, let’s keep it cute… you’re a lying a**… You know how you treated me both off and on camera. YOU was a bully!!! You treated me like trash and said some of the nastiest things about my son and me.”

With the documentary reigniting conversations about the show’s impact, it’s clear Tiffany is ready to set the record straight, and she’s not sugarcoating a thing about Ms. Banks.
