Here's how we remember it today.

But it's so much deeper than what we saw.

Of course it makes Shandi feel like shit.

That was probably the most shocking part of the docuseries.

We got the confirmation from Shandi in the Netflix docuseries that she was indeed assaulted.

Like she was, you can't give consent when she was that drunk.

The way that A&TM handled that situation and the way that Tyra and Ken Mock talk about it today was really disturbing for me.

So we found out in the docuseries that

Yes, one, Shandi confirmed that she could not give consent in that moment and that the entire encounter was filmed.

But we also found out that they filmed her going to the doctor the next day to get tested.

They filmed her when she was crying on the floor after she had to make the call to the boyfriend.

They pressured her to make the call to the boyfriend because...

after being assaulted, she wanted to go home and they wouldn't let her.

And so that's when they said, okay, you can call the boyfriend, but we're going to film it, right?

Every part of this situation was filmed so they could use it for a storyline.

And it's a situation that really shouldn't have happened, right?

Like, production is there the entire time.

They see Shandy drinking more and more and more, and they didn't step in to intervene.

For me, when Ken Mock in the Netflix docuseries, when he says, we treated A&TM like it was a documentary.

That's so offensive.
