About this episode
The episode discusses the controversial documentary about America's Next Top Model and Tyra Banks' role in it.
In an explosive new documentary, ANTM show creator/supermodel Tyra Banks skirts responsibility and comes across absolutely horrific. Also, Mister Jay is not Latino, and Tyra’s publicist must be on the verge of implosion. Let’s talk about it. Thanks to my sponsors: Sign up and get 10% off at betterhelp.com/RATCHET.
