Tyra Banks is trending on Twitter as fans remember the controversial moments of America’s Next Top Model, her hit show that ran for 24 seasons.

Many are now calling on her to apologize to some of the former contestants.

The "Y'all……..Tyra Banks is fuckin nuts" movement is the most entertaining thing to come out of this quarantine.

Growing up is realising that Tyra Banks was the villain and not Naomi

One video posted to Twitter shows Banks questioning cycle 6 winner, Danielle Evans.

She criticizes Evans for not getting the gap in her teeth closed at the dentist. “Do you really think you can have a Cover Girl contract with a gap in your mouth?” she questions.

“Why was this allowed to air,” the user captioned the video. “wtf Tyra banks is going to straight hell.”

Many noted how Banks actually widened a white model’s gap seasons later to highlight her uniqueness.

I mean we always knew Tyra Banks was a little ditzy. I had no idea she was telling black girls they'd never make it with gapped teeth but then having a dentist file down a white girl's teeth to make her gap more prominent bc it was the "look". This muthafucka was diabolical 😭 https://t.co/YbkeYdgUC1

Another Twitter user reminded people that if everyone was going to “crucify Tyra,” they should remember the standoff between Banks and Yaya DaCosta. In the episode in question, the contestants had to pick a hat to wear and explain why they chose it.

DaCosta, a Black model, chose to wear a cowboy hat. Judge Nigel Barker said that everyone figured she would have “gone for the African hat.” She calmly responded as to why she didn’t, and Banks accused her of being defensive.

I mean, if we're going to crucify Tyra for all the manically fucked up shit she has done to girls on America's Next Top Model, this one moment with Yaya takes the cake. She is pressed when a black girl is more intelligent than her.https://t.co/j9MY7UqGN9

There were also multiple instances of alleged sexual assault on the show. During a photoshoot in Africa, cycle 4 contestant Keenyah Hill stopped the shoot because she felt uncomfortable with a male model, who kept touching her. Then, at the judging panel, Banks called her out for it.

Keenyah too. She was sexually harassed on camera by a male model during a photoshoot in South Africs & Tyra chastised her at eliminations for stopping the photoshoot and complaining about it. https://t.co/Od1ZgsJoQ9

Another user pointed to when judge Mr. Jay Manuel told a sexual assault survivor to “suck it up” after she explained she didn’t feel comfortable kissing a man.

A girl had been sexually assaulted as a child and had serious problems being intimate with men (I also think she was a lesbian but I can't remember) and they had to do a shoot where they kissed a man.She said she couldn't do it and Mr Jay was like "suck it up buttercup"

One contestant got hypothermia from a photoshoot in a freezing cold pool, according to BuzzFeed, while another was made to do a photoshoot in a graveyard the day after her friend died. Banks even eliminated contestant Angelea after it was revealed she was an escort before appearing on the All-Stars season.

They did a shoot in a rly cold swimming pool and one girl started physically reacting to the cold and uncontrollably shivering, and she told Tyra, and Tyra was like "suck it up buttercup this is modeling". Then she almost went hypothermic and was yelled at for not saying anything

Since we are on the topic of things Ms. Tyra Banks did during America’s Next Top Model, let’s remember how she did a photoshoot where she had models dressed up as “biracial beauties”. Her obsession with blackface and mixed race was so weird. pic.twitter.com/RRjnoQlf0V

Angelea won All Stars and they took her win from her after finding out she escorted for a bit after not being able to get modeling gigs after her first season! And then they gave it to LISA!! Garbage. She’s just trying to be everyone else’s version of Naomi Campbell 😭

Banks has been long criticized for turning models into different races for photoshoots. And while she’s apologized on more than one occasion for the controversial photoshoots, Banks hasn’t apologized for the treatment of the contestants on the show.
