Time doesn\u2019t heal all wounds, and sometimes it just makes them worse<\/a>. Tiffany Richardson is still understandably upset about her time on\u00a0America\u2019s Next Top Model<\/a>, especially after the release of the Netflix docuseries Reality Check, which looks back on the show\u2019s controversies<\/a> and impact<\/a>. In a now-deleted Instagram<\/a> post, Richardson, who was on the receiving end of one of Tyra Banks\u2019s most memed and discussed moments, called Banks a \u201cbully\u201d and claimed she was \u201clying\u201d in the docuseries. \u201cYou know how you treated me the whole time off and on camera, YOU WAS A BULLY!!!\u201d Richardson wrote. \u201cYou treated me like shit and said the nastiest things about me and my son.\u201d<\/p>\n In one of the most infamous moments on America\u2019s Next Top Model, Banks screamed at Richardson for seemingly not taking the competition seriously. \u201cI have never in my life yelled at a girl like this. When my mother yelled at me like this, it\u2019s because she loves me,\u201d Banks yelled in the 2005 episode. \u201cI was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In the series, Banks claims to have been emotionally invested in Richardson\u2019s success and took it personally when she felt Richardson wasn\u2019t taking the show seriously. Richardson auditioned in cycle three, but after an ensuing fight, she did not make the final 14; she was allowed to return the following season after taking anger-management classes. \u201cI went too far. You know, I lost it,\u201d Banks explains in Reality Check. \u201cIt was probably bigger than her. It was family, friends, society, Black girls, all the challenges that we have. So many people saying that we\u2019re not good enough. I think all that was in that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Monty Brinton\/CBS Photo Archive\/Getty Images Time doesn\u2019t heal all wounds, and sometimes it just makes them worse.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[217017,220224,88,3,219561,220223,92,37323],"class_list":["post-475495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-americas-next-top-model","tag-bad-blood","tag-entertainment","tag-news","tag-reality-check-inside-americas-next-top-model","tag-tiffany-richardson","tag-tv","tag-tyra-banks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
