Adrianne Curry is coming to Tyra Banks' defense after Netflix's bombshell docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model. "Ugh, I hate that I have to do this. I don't think Tyra should be canceled. I don't think being an asshole merits the hate and HOA Karen cancel mob she is getting," Curry, 43, wrote of the former reality TV host, 52, in a lengthy message via X on Monday, February 23. "I was deeply hurt by Tyra and [executive producer] Ken Mok...but people trying to 'hurt' them does absolutely nothing to make me feel better," she continued. "It feels the opposite. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I forgive them. I am grateful for everything I did get from that experience...and take the bad stuff as the ultimate learning curve in how Hollywood operates. LIE, cheat, manipulate, repeat." Curry went on to say that people were acting as if Banks' actions on America's Next Top Model "is worse than Bill Gates and [Jeffrey] Epstein." Adrianne Curry Reacts to Netflix's 'Top Model' Doc, Slams Tyra Banks (Gates was named in the so-called Epstein files, released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The pair met on multiple occasions from 2011 through 2014.) "She and Ken acted exactly as everyone else in Entertainment does," Curry continued. "Reality tv producers exploit and humiliate you based off what you give them. They froth at the mouth for you to make a mistake that they can then monetize off of." The model then gave multiple examples of other people acting out on reality TV without, in her opinion, facing the consequences. Ugh, I hate that I have to do this. I dont think Tyra should be canceled. I dont think being an asshole merits the hate and HOA Karen cancel mob she is getting. I was deeply hurt by Tyra and Ken Mok...but people trying to "hurt" them does absolutely nothing to make me feel... - Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry) February 23, 2026 "I can't believe I have to come to her defense....but Naomi Campbell beat heads in with phones and people didn't hate her as much as I see people hating Tyra. Being a d**khead isn't illegal, people," she noted. (In 2007, Campbell pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault for hitting her housekeeper, Ana Scolavino, in the head with a cell phone. She was sentenced to community service.) Curry continued, "Let the girls on the show have their anger....or their gratefulness...and hopefully, their forgiveness of themselves and these people. Forcing people to apologize for crap they are not sorry for is a damn struggle session and it feels...evil. 2 wrongs [don't make a right]." Curry also noted that she feels "both grateful and disappointed on how things went down" on the show with Banks and Mok, 64. "I'm humbled and grateful I got what I did. I don't think what the public is doing....this Karen Accountability Struggle Session is right...but I'm not going to label you two angels," she concluded the post. Fans shared their mixed reactions in the comments section - and Curry didn't hold back from responding. "Did a lawyer contact you to say this?" one wrote, to which she replied, "Lol, no. I've found peace in my life. I still think they're d**ks.....I just don't think being a heartless a**hole merits a pitchfork mob." 'ANTM' Winner Adrianne Curry Slams Docuseries 'Psychoanalyzing' Tyra Banks' Show "Tyra was a heartless b***h to you and all the girls. Tyra cares only about Tyra," another follower wrote. Curry responded, "Then let her enjoy herself." Curry appeared on season 1 of America's Next Top Model in 2003 and won the cycle. While Banks did not apologize for her overall actions, the crew credited the show's nature to the early 2000s being "a different time." Banks also addressed a 2006 incident when she coerced contestant Danielle Evans into getting dental surgery to fix a gap in her teeth. "I have actually apologised for the issue with Dani," she said in the docuseries.
