When on the air, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ was both a ratings smash and a cultural phenomenon.

In the years since its initial run, the Tyra Banks-helmed series has been scrutinized – almost on a monthly basis – through a contemporary lens.

The less than endorsing claims have been plentiful and have included accounts from contestants on the long-running show.

One person that isn’t here for the critique, though, is season 3 winner Eva Marcille. 

Since triumphing on the 2004 installment of the UPN series, she went on to enjoy a multi-dimensional career in the limelight – racking up modeling, acting, TV, and hosting gigs.

And she’s not feeling the derogatory claims about ANTM from others who haven’t demonstrated the same work ethic.

Mo’Nique fallout with D.L. Hughley has played out oh so publicly and the reverberating effects continue.

As reported, the comedienne sunk into her fellow comic over a contract dispute relating to the headlining spot.

And while much of the headlines since have centered on the back and forth between Mo’ and Hughley – who has been unrelenting with his clap backs, Steve Harvey has officially entered the chat. With good reason too.

See, during her on-stage rant in Detroit, the 54-year-old included Harvey in a collection of names that she branded “c**ns” for weighing in on her fallout with Netflix.

After once again being verbally attacked by Mo, the 65-year-old has weighed in on the latest drama.
