The supermodel and host acknowledged some of the criticism surrounding the show in a message posted toTwitterin 2020.
“Been seeing the posts about the insensitivity of some past ‘ANTM’ moments and I agree with you.
Looking back, those were some really off choices.
Appreciate your honest feedback and am sending so much love and virtual hugs,” Banks wrote.
Despite its many problematic moments, there’s no denying the legacy of “ANTM.”
And, in particular, how many genuine models the show has introduced to the world.
In fact, even Banks has her favorites.
First off, she picked Whitney Thompson, who emerged victorious in Cycle 10.
As the host noted, “She was legally blind and took the most gorgeous photos.”
Finally, Cycle 7 winner CariDee English, “who had psoriasis” was another personal favorite.
She acknowledged, “This has always been a passion of mine.
It’s so nice to see it’s normalizing.”
