It’s hard to remember a go before America’s Next Top Model( or ANTM) was seen as problematic, but for 24 seasons( or rounds, as the display calls them ), the right got away with orchestrates of offensive and dangerous photoshoots. Though often entertaining for onlookers, these foolish photoshoots were the epitome of bad flavour and sometimes even framed the poses in harm’s way.

On ANTM, aspiring–and generally inexperienced–models compete to win a tempting accolade carton that includes contracts with modeling agencies and major makeup symbols. However, many of the show’s alum have slammed the substantiate and Tyra Banks for being damaging to their careers and mental health. Each season, examples have to participate in photoshoots with often outrageous themes, and the mannequin with the worst photo is eliminated. There ought to have dozens of mysterious, controversial, and outraging photoshoots throughout ANTM history, but these are some of the worst offenders.

On cycle 4, modelings participated in a Got Milk campaign photoshoot that had them portraying different ethnicities from their own. The photoshoot is fraught with unspeakable stereotypes and even offended the shoot’s artistic administrator Jay Manuel. A grey woman drawn a Black woman with an enormous afro, a Black woman illustrated a Korean woman, and observers of pretty much any race were right to be upset.

In a cycle 7 photoshoot, modelings moved in a pond filled with terribly cold water and got shot from above. All the models were lamentable, but one–CariDee English–got actual hypothermia. Throughout the shoot, Tyra admonished CariDee for “complaining” about being coldnes, but when she had to be attracted out of the irrigate because she was shaking so hard, Tyra told CariDee it was her responsibility to speak up when she is propagandized past her limit.

Cycle 8 was full of questionable photoshoots, but the worst was when the models constituted as assassinated victims in a simulated crime scene. Each representation was “killed” in a different way and were told to “bring a little life to a dead pose.” The gruesome photos were scandalizing and in very poor taste, as they literally glamorized murder.

In cycle 13, the simulates were taken to Hawaii and introduced to the term “hapa.” Hapa is a non-derogatory Hawaiian word for mixed-race people, but Tyra Banks had a doubtful appreciation of the expression. Simulates was also informed to represent strange ethnic compoundings like Mexican and Greek, Native American and East Indian, and Moroccan and Russian. Tyra eventually addressed how inappropriate the photoshoot was, but there’s a lot more she should have apologized for.

The cycle 22 players included the show’s first( and only) deafen prototype, Nyle DiMarco. However, one of the season’s photoshoots seemed to be designed to sabotage him. The frameworks were required to do a shoot at night in soot black. The other mannequins followed audio cues to know when to constitute, but Nyle plainly couldn’t, and he was completely thrown off. The creative chairman tried abusing flashlights and banging on the stage Nyle was on, but he still, understandably, strove more than the other models.

It’s no secret that America’s Next Top Model hasn’t aged well, but revisiting the streak is still more shocking than you’d think. Nearly every season is riddled with racism, misogyny, homophobia, and certainly different forms of questionable viewpoint imaginable. From cringeworthy to offensive, to extremely hazardous, the series’ photoshoots are memorable in all the wrong ways.
