\u201cI wanted to fight against the fashion industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the trailer, America\u2019s Next Top Model creative director Jay Manuel says: \u201cI realised Tyra would do anything for the success of her show\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Netflix footage also covered an infamous 2005 moment where Manuel told contestants on the show: \u201cWe are going to switch your ethnicities\u201d.<\/p>\n
Banks said in 2005: \u201cI want to be very clear: I, in no way, put my Top Models in blackface.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a black woman. I am proud. I love my people and the struggle that we have gone through continues, and the last thing that I would ever do is be a part of something that degraded my race.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry to anybody that watched Top Model and was offended by the pictures because they didn\u2019t understand the real story behind them or even if you did see the whole episode and you were still offended, I truly apologise because that is not my intention.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy intention is to spread beauty and break down barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also in the new Netflix trailer, producer Ken Mok says: \u201cThat was a moment where I realised, \u2018Oh my God. I think we\u2019ve built a monster\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not yet known what Mok was referring to, but all will be revealed when the show launches on Netflix on February 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI wanted to fight against the fashion industry.\u201d Elsewhere in the trailer, America\u2019s Next Top Model creative director…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[16489,5811,28174,1396,156,528,1432,111,139,1536,69,90,20863,14005,6173,3010,437,112443,2201],"class_list":{"0":"post-254918","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-admits","9":"tag-admitted","10":"tag-americas","11":"tag-banks","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-far","14":"tag-model","15":"tag-new-zealand","16":"tag-newzealand","17":"tag-next","18":"tag-nz","19":"tag-on","20":"tag-she","21":"tag-times","22":"tag-too","23":"tag-top","24":"tag-tv","25":"tag-tyra","26":"tag-went"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
