Netflix'sReality Check docuseries into the controversies that took place during America's Next Top Modelhas further opened the floodgates. ANTM Cycle 24 finalist Jeana Turner provided an update on social media on her and former alums having united to lobby the government for a reality TV protection reform.
The reform was started years ago by former contestants, including Turner, Cycle 8's Brittany Hatch, Sarah VonderHaar, Cycle 1's Giselle Samson, and Cycle 9's Sarah Hartshorne. Tuner shared an update on her social media about the reform following the intense spotlight on Tyra Banks and the Netflix docuseries.
"Turning our stories into action. Today, we met with the California Legislative Board to push for stronger protections and real accountability for reality TV contestants. We are stronger in numbers, and we aren’t stopping until we see real change," she said in her caption while also tagging the other former contestants.
Turner explained in the video that they all met with the legislative board to begin conversations on changing legislation and "amending current laws to bring stronger protections to reality TV contestants, specifically after our experiences with ANTM."

The alum adds that the reform isn't based solely on one individual but multiple women "speaking out" and wanting "real change" for the next generation of women. In 2023, VonderHaar and Hatch spoke with Entertainment Weekly after they filed separate wage claims against Banks and producers Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici.
They claimed that production was in charge of their filming hours, with the contracts stating they had to be available 24/7 without pay. It was also reported that they were only given $40 a day for food and necessities and weren't allowed to know of any location they were sent to. The two alums also claim sleep deprivation during a go-see in Australia is what led to a volatile and intense moment that was captured on camera.
Turner also claimed in the Vice TV series, Dark Side of Reality TV, that production had manipulated her interview after being stuck in a room for seven hours, being asked questions. They had used a portion of her words as a response to her losing Cycle 24, which was "not at all what happened."
Netflix's Reality Check dove deep into the series's controversies, like Banks' response to Shandi Sullivan's alleged sexual assault caught on camera. The rifts between Banks and the series judges, and the controversial photoshoots.
