Adrianne Curry calls Netflix ANTM doc 'woke', says she refused to participate
Adrianne Curry said she refused to take part in Netflix's three-part docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, which is set to premiere on Monday, February 16, she wrote on social media. On her personal profile Curry wrote: "I think people psychoanalyzing it over 20 years later with a woke lens is absurd," and said she declined to participate because "I don't trust people to not manipulate things I say for TV, so I decline everything.
Also, the public is cult-like and cruel, so the last thing I want is a bunch of eyeballs on me. I hope the other girls do not have their words twisted in their Netflix show. I have [zero] trust in any producers, no desire to be really public in this day and age ... and am hard retired from Hollywood." The series trailer includes Tyra Banks conceding, "I knew I went too far...
it was very intense, but you guys were demanding it," and creative director Jay Manuel saying, "I realized Tyra would do anything for the success of her show." ANTM originated on UPN in 2003 and Curry was the show's first-ever champion. The programme ran for six seasons before the network merged with The WB to form The CW, was later axed in 2015, and had a VH1 revival in 2016 that lasted two years.
Across its run the show faced allegations of fat-shaming and other controversies.
