Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model documentary has premiered on Netflix, giving us an unprecedented (and sometimes brutal) insight into the making of one of the world’s most infamous reality TV shows.

Now we need to unpack the most shocking moments from the documentary, discuss what the fallout from the series has been, and talk about how our viewing habits played a part in this series becoming so wildly popular.

And of course, there is the Tyra Banks of it all. In this episode, we discuss how her hand was forced when it comes to appearing in this documentary and how it has damaged her legacy forever.

Content warning: This episode contains details of sexual assault.
