Netflix Pushes Back on Tyra Banks ‘Reality Check’ Defamation Suit

Netflix filed a motion on Friday to dismiss Tyra Banks' defamation lawsuit regarding a documentary series about "America's Next Top Model." The company claims Banks is upset about normal editorial choices made during the show's production.

Banks filed the lawsuit in June, stating that Netflix and the show's directors, Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan, wrongly portrayed her as being insensitive to a contestant who said she was a victim of sexual assault.

Banks participated in a three-hour interview for the docuseries, "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," though only about 16 minutes of that was used in the final version.

In their motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Netflix's legal team argued that Banks' dissatisfaction with the series does not count as defamation.

They also claim the lawsuit is about standard editing choices that were regularly made on "America's Next Top Model."

The filing states, "Banks understands editorial discretion.

She created, hosted, and executive produced 24 seasons of ANTM, making the same kinds of editorial decisions she now attacks — what footage to include, what to omit, and how to present competing narratives.The documentary simply turned that editorial lens back on ANTM and Banks.Her disagreement with the resulting portrayal does not make it defamatory."

Banks claims her interview was edited in a misleading way to make it seem like she forgot about the contestant, Shandi Sullivan, who says she was assaulted during the show's second season in Milan.

In the Netflix series, Banks is asked if she remembers Sullivan, and she says "um" and looks up.The show then cuts, ending the first episode in a cliffhanger.

Banks argues that her full answer was not included, and that if it had been, it would have shown that she did remember Sullivan's story.

In response, Netflix's lawyers point out that her full answer — "I do remember her story" — was included at the start of the second episode.

The filing states, "A documentary showing Banks remembering does not imply that she forgot."

The company's lawyers also note that Banks had signed a standard waiver giving up creative control over the project.

The three-episode docuseries, released in February, was part of a broader reevaluation of "America's Next Top Model," which ran for 24 seasons from 2003 to 2018.

The documentary highlighted some harsh criticisms of the show and of Banks.

In a statement, Netflix said it supports the series and the directors.

"The directors, Daniel Sivan and Mor Loushy, are respected documentarians who thoroughly interviewed the people behind 'America's Next Top Model,'” a company spokesperson said.

“Tyra Banks was given the opportunity to speak openly about her experience, and the creators fairly presented her perspective alongside those of every other participant shown in this documentary.We stand behind 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model' and will continue to vigorously defend it."

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Hits $700 Million at Domestic Box Office, One of Seven Movies to Ever Reach the Milestone

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has made more than $700 million from ticket sales in the US, making it the fastest movie ever to reach that big number.

So far, the movie, which stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man, has made $704.5 million in North America and $1.8 billion worldwide after just two weekends.

Only seven movies have ever made $700 million in North America.

This list includes "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with $963 million, "Avengers: Endgame" with $858 million, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" with $814 million, "Avatar" with $785 million, "Top Gun: Maverick" with $721 million, and "Black Panther" with $700 million.

Internationally, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has made $1.108 billion, beating the previous total from "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which was $1.106 billion.

"Brand New Day" is already the biggest movie of the year and the 10th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.

After its opening weekend, which made a record $355 million in the US and $932 million globally, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" hit the $1 billion mark in just six days.

It's moving quickly toward $2 billion.Only seven movies in history have ever made more than $2 billion globally, including "Avatar," "Avengers: Endgame," and "Titanic."

With a lot of fan excitement and not many other big movies coming out this summer, "Brand New Day" could become the first movie to ever hit $1 billion in the US.

Some people think it might even reach $3 billion worldwide.Right now, "Avatar" and "Avengers: Endgame" are the top two movies ever, with $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, after several re-releases.
