Tyra Banks has filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix and the directors of “Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.” She contends in the lawsuit filed Saturday that they edited her interviews to create a false narrative. Banks says she was interviewed for over three hours, but the footage was cut to 16 minutes and misrepresented her statements. Her lawyers allege that the edits suggest Banks allowed a contestant to be assaulted and used it for ratings. Banks is seeking damages and an injunction against using her image on a related album. Emails seeking comment were sent Sunday to representatives for the defendants and for Banks.
