Banks claims in the lawsuit that only 16 minutes of her three-and-a-half-hour interview were used in 'Reality Check: America's Next Top Model,' and that "accountability" was a major part of her conversation that wasn't featured.

In a lawsuit filed on Saturday, June 13, Banks claims that her portrayal in the docuseries about her reality TV show, America's Next Top Model, is defamatory and was edited to support a false narrative. She is asking for a jury trial to determine the "appropriate" amount she should receive in damages, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

"Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America's Next Top Model ('ANTM') because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show's legacy—its successes and its shortcomings," the lawsuit begins. "There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly."
