Yeah.

Because you're in that seat.

Yeah, she's very protective of her brand.

What anyone will say who's interacted with her, I haven't heard good or bad from – I know a lot of people that have interviewed her, done things with her.

And the reason I haven't heard good or bad is that she's just very strict on not having people –

talk about working with her yeah which is fair enough which i guess goes to show where we are now so in this lawsuit that was filed um the papers have been released so you can read them um the documents and what she is saying is that tyra banks claims that her betrayal in the documentary about next top model was defamatory and that she was edited to support a false narrative and

This is the wording from the legal documents.

So we're not saying whether it's true or false.

This is just what's in her legal documents that she has put forward to the court.

And in these legal documents, she is asking for a jury at a trial to determine the appropriate amount she should receive in damages.

So a direct quote from the legal documents is, Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show's legacy, its successes and shortcomings.

There were aspects of the show for which Ms.

Banks takes accountability and she wanted viewers to hear this from her directly.

This is also interesting context.

And again, this is what she's in the legal papers.

But because she hadn't commented on it, everything we're getting from these papers is really hearing from her for the first time about this show that just became like this global buzzy thing.

Yeah.

It says, going into her interview, Miss Banks did not limit the topics the interviewer could ask.

And during a three and a half hour interview, Miss Banks answered questions about the show's groundbreaking history, including criticism of the decisions she would approach differently today.

Then they said that the series was sold to viewers as a documentary series and Netflix called it the definitive must-watch chronicle of America's Next Top Model.
