For some context, the last major update involving Tyra Banks came back in June, when she reportedly took legal action against Netflix. As previously reported, Tyra filed a defamation lawsuit alleging that Netflix used only 16 minutes of her more-than-three-hour interview and manipulated the footage to push what she says was a false and defamatory narrative. The supermodel is reportedly seeking a jury trial to determine damages, with her lawsuit stating that she participated in the documentary because she wanted to candidly address both the successes and shortcomings of ‘Americas Next Top Model.’
