Amid the drama involvingJay Manuel, Tyra Banks, and the production of the hit reality competition series, Netflix's Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model revisits the alleged sexual assault of model Shandi Sullivan. When asked about the incident, Banks offered a surprising response to what viewers saw unfold on screen.
The three-part docuseries that aired on Feb. 16 takes a look back at some of America's Next Top Model's most controversial moments. One of them was during Cycle 2, when Sullivan was reportedly assaulted during their trip to Milan, and was all filmed by the production crew.
When asked to elaborate and talk about what happened, Banks said, "I do remember her story. It’s a little difficult for me to talk about production because that’s not my territory."
Shandi, one of the guests for the docuseries, recalls going on go-sees that took all day and were chauffeured by Italian men on Vespas. She recalls having not been able to eat and going back to their rented home, where it was suggested that the Italian drivers visit for dinner.
The model, now 43, also recalls having drunk "two bottles of wine," having barely slept, and getting into a hot tub with the other models and the male drivers. Shandi recalls, "And then I just remember the guy looking at me and I looked at him. And I was pretty drunk at that point. Everything kind of after that is just a blur."
In a further elaboration, Shandi remembers being in the shower and then in bed when she "knew" sex was happening, but ultimately passed out. The following day, she was hit with the realization of what happened.

What caused controversy was ANTM production not stepping in and having filmed the entire encounter, as well as Shandi calling her boyfriend to tell him what happened. Shandi revealed that production had told her on the side that they were sorry for having filmed her private conversation. They also later documented her asking the Italian male driver if he was free of sexually transmitted diseases.
Executive producer Ken Mok also commented on the docuseries, how the models were told from the start they would be filmed 24/7, and they would "cover the good, the bad, and everything in between." Manuel also commented on the reality of production, seeing it as a "story" and wanting to see it all the way through.
