Two decades after its original run, America's Next Top Model — the Tyra Banks-created reality show where aspiring fashion models compete to prove they can make it in the modeling industry — is back in the headlines as the subject of a buzzy new Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. Having dropped on the streamer on February 16, the three-part series explores the controversial legacy of ANTM, one riddled with exploitative challenges, racial insensitivity, body shaming and more.
And it's not the only new doc to put the modeling competition under the proverbial microscope: Next month, E! is coming out with its own docuseries Dirty Rotten Scandals, which will look at not only the contentious history of ANTM but also similarly beleaguered television programs including Dr. Phil, The Price is Right and more.

Who is in Dirty Rotten Scandals?
The multi-part doc will feature firsthand accounts from former employees and guests of series including America's Next Top Model, Dr. Phil and The Price is Right, detailing the manipulative production tactics, workplace harassment, legal entanglements and personal hardships experienced during filming.
Viewers can expect to hear from self-proclaimed “world’s first supermodel” and former ANTM judge Janice Dickinson, as well as that show's season 17 winner Lisa D’Amato, the latter of whom has publicly compared the problematic series to the Stanford Prison Experiment. "First-hand interviews with the contestants cast light on behind-the-scenes secrets and the steep prices they paid for a shot at being 'on top,'" notes a press release. "The models come forward to correct the record on the real story behind the cultural phenomenon that was America's Next Top Model."
Elsewhere, former The Price is Right cast and crew members — including model Claudia Jordan, who worked on the long-running CBS show from 2001 to 2003 and sued TPIR producer Phil Wayne Rossi for sexual harassment and longtime host Bob Barker for wrongful termination — discuss Barker's 35-year tenure and the show's allegedly hostile work environment.
