Nigel Barker was one of the most recognizable faces on America’s Next Top Model — photographer, judge, and part of the show’s core for 17 cycles. Now, with Netflix’s Reality Check: America’s Next Top Model bringing the series back into the spotlight, he’s opening up.
In this episode of Miss Understood, Nigel shares what it was really like behind the scenes — from how he got cast, to the truth about judging, production, and whether the show was ever really about finding a top model. He also addresses the moment he was let go, his relationship with Tyra Banks, and what he thinks now watching it all back.
This is the conversation fans of ANTM, reality TV, fashion, and media won’t want to miss.
