One of the most historically outspoken “America’s Next Top Model” critics, two-time contestant Lisa D’Amato, is clapping back at Tyra Banks’ forthcoming documentary — by starring in a competing one.
Page Six caught up with D’Amato ahead of the release of Netflix’s “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” which promises to “expose the show’s complicated legacy.”

I would be the same as Lisa. I would keep my foot on Tyra's neck forever!
Whew… I just watched all that and I’m not surprised. Funny how accountability always shows up with a camera crew and a check attached. If it was really about growth, it wouldn’t need a Netflix special to explain it. But okay… redemption tour activated. I’ll bring popcorn.” 🍿
It’s still so sad to see the trauma that Lisa and the others experienced at the hands of those that were posed as supporters and mentors. The stories that we hear from their mouths cause me to mourn the condition of their hearts… I hope that these documentaries bring a sense of peace to them.
Signing up for a reality show when you know it’s exploitative, then “preaching” about the immoral nature is wild!
WHY ARE YALL MAD AT TYRA!? This is what you wanted !!!! She gave Yall a taste of how the industry is. The industry is 10000 times worse so are they mad that it came from a blk woman because I’m just not understanding? It’s a known fact that the modeling industry is worst than Hollywood and it’s a fact that had these woman made it they would have been subjected to far worse than what they experienced on the show. You got what you asked for and now crying.
This girl knew what she was walking into
If this is true, why did Lisa tearfully accept a $100,000 check from Tyra while telling her, "I will not let you down"?
I think think Lisa is of full of s*** 💩
she was on the 5th season. we all knew by the 5th season what the show was really about. and then she came back for all stars which was season 17.
Lisa is sheriff of top model town 😂😂😂
“I came in after signing the winning contract” when it is common knowledge that she won off of a technicality bc the actual winner was scandalously disqualified.
Also, why are y’all acting like Tyra still cares about salvaging her ANTM related career when she has been out here peddling hot ice cream and raising her kid.
Oh shut up Karen 😑😑😑😒😒😒😒
For once–a video about ANTM that doesn't include the "We were all rooting for you" clip! I got really tired of seeing that.
Lisa playing the hero and the victim once again…..🙄
Stop giving Lisa a platform. She HIT A MAN IN THE HEAD WITH A GOLF CLUB.
She is addicted to publicity. She is a horrendous person. She will play victim for the rest of her life.
None of these girls, including this one would never be top models. The show was a joke at their expense.
I remember I wanted the other girl to win over her
I believe Alexandria Everett from Cycle 16 withdrew her interview with Oliver Twixt because of supposed advice from Lisa.
And yet I don’t think Lisa has hosted Alexandria in an interview since (from what I’m aware) in which Lisa said Alexandria’s story should be shared.
This seems contradictory to what Lisa advocated in this interview about ensuring people’s stories are told.
