Tyra Banks, that horrifying 'ANTM' Netflix doc and how to actually apologize

Many were hoping Tyra Banks would make a genuine apology in the new Netflix docuseries on \

There were a lot of things fans were hoping for − or, dare we say, "rooting for" − in the new "America's Next Top Model" docuseries on Netflix.

Many wanted to learn the motivation behind some of the elaborate, outrageous photoshoots (check). Many wanted to know where some of the models from the show are now (check). And many also wanted a genuine apology from Tyra Banks — the show’s host and executive producer — for several incidents from the show that have gone down in reality TV infamy.

And they got that, too. Well, kind of.

Banks did indeed express regret, and even say the word “sorry,” in Netflix's "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model." The TV mogul, 52, said she wished she handled her iconic tirade against contestant Tiffany Richardson in 2005's Cycle 4 differently. She also said sorry to Keenyah Hill, who described facing sexual harassment and unwanted touching on a photoshoot in Cycle 4.

"I say to Keenyah, boo boo, I am so sorry. None of us knew," Banks said. "She deserved more."
