Reality TV Backlash, America's Next Top Model, Tyra Banks

We're shifting gears this week, from therapy to something that I relate to personally. I recently watched the new Netflix doc about America's Next Top Model, and read up on the controversy and backlash that was caused when viewers listened to Tyra Banks' comments. Luckily, I'm in the fortunate position of having first hand experience with reality TV, and thought I'd share some insight and perspective. Enjoy.
