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

Netflix has filed a motion to dismiss the defamation lawsuit brought by Tyra Banks regarding the docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. Banks sued in June, claiming the production falsely portrayed her as insensitive. Netflix argues that Banks is merely contesting routine editorial decisions and that her disagreement with the portrayal does not constitute defamation. The legal action targets the streamer and directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan over the depiction of the former host.
