Olivia Attwood 'roasts' Tyra Banks as she hits back following explosive ANTM Netflix documentary
The doc has kept Tyra's name in the headlinesOlivia Attwood is unimpressed with Tyra Banks following the explosive ANTM Netflix documentary, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model.
Last Monday (February 16), Netflix dropped an insightful doc on the hit show that delved into the problematic and controversial topics surrounding the show.
The three-part series interviewed Tyra, executive producer Ken Mok, as well as some of the judges and contestants. On the show, there was talk of blackface, body-shaming, insensitivie shoots and forcing contestants to get surgery.
Tyra faced immediate backlash, with many accusing the Victoria’s Secret model of not appearing to be sorry or taking any accountability. And according to Olivia Attwood, she couldn’t agree more.
Olivia Attwood responds to Tyra Banks following ANTM doc
During an interview for Attitude Magazine, Olivia, whose new show The Heat continues on ITV2 tonight, was asked about “who deserves a good roasting”.
In response, she aimed at Tyra after watching clips from the Netflix doc.
“I think she could take a bit of accountability in [America’s Next Top Model]. I think she thinks we’re all stupid because I would have liked her to just… I’ve watched extended clips on TikTok, where I get all my TV from, and I haven’t managed to sit through the whole thing. But the long clips I’ve seen of her, I think you can say at that time, in that culture, ‘I wanted to make a dramatic, amazing TV show. And in hindsight, it wasn’t right,'” she said.
Olivia, who found fame on Love Island, even admitted the ITV dating show is “very different” from how it started.

She continued: “I think you can put your hands up and say we’ve all evolved and we know that society and cultural changes are a thing. But I just think she tried to smoke and mirrors there, and I would have liked it if she was a bit braver than that.”
‘I’d be terrible at OnlyFans’
Olivia, also known for her hit show Getting Filthy Rich, was also asked what one thing she wouldn’t mind doing for cash.
She recognised “the best money” is from OnlyFans. However, Olivia said she would be “terrible at that” because she struggles with “being on my phone all day”.
“A big part of being successful with OnlyFans is basically just being on your phone 24 hours a day. I feel like I’d want to be a stripper if I could dance because I want to be in the club,” she added.
Aside from Getting Filthy Rich, Olivia remains booked and busy. Her new cooking show, The Heat, debuted last night (February 24), where their mission to find the next rising star continues tonight.
