\u201cBut mad respect for Tyra, because that\u2019s hard to push back on that many people trying to struggle-session you, and she\u2019s just like, \u2018F**k you and [I] do what I want,\u2019\u201d Curry went on. \u201cI gotta respect that. I tip my hat, m\u2019lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>Courtesy of Adrianne Curry\/X<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI am deeply grateful I won the first season of top model. i think people psychoanalyzing it over 20 years later with a woke lens is absurd,\u201d Curry said in a January X post. \u201cI don\u2019t trust people to not manipulate things I say for tv, so i decline everything. Also, the public is cult-like and cruel, so the last thing I want is a bunch of eyeballs on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the other girls do not have their words twisted in their netflix show,\u201d she added at the time.<\/p>\n
Among the shocking revelations in Netflix\u2019s Reality Check<\/em>, ANTM<\/em> cycle 2 contestant Shandi Sullivan<\/strong> alleged she was sexually assaulted<\/a> when production relocated from the U.S. to Milan. She said the incident was used as a \u201cplotline\u201d on the show, with Sullivan, now 43, captured in tears while being accused of cheating during a phone call with her then-boyfriend, Eric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\u201cI remember him on top of me. I was blacked out. No one did anything to stop it,\u201d Sullivan claimed in the doc. \u201cAnd it all got filmed, all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
