Kimora Lee Simmons on ANTM Doc: 'Why Was I Left Out?'

0:00On April 8th, Kamora Lee Simmons just spilled the tee on not getting invited to the new America's next top model documentary. The 50-year-old fashion boss, judged Season 1, right alongside Tyra Banks, who's 52, back when the show kicked off. Earlier this week on April 7th, Simmons hit up the Aspire with Immigrate Podcast and straight-up said she has no clue why they left her out. That doc dives into the show's legacy and all the behind-the-scenes drama from its long run. She and Tyra go way back. They were tight, with Tyra even serving as Godmother to some of Simmons' kids. But they haven't linked up in years, even though Simmons helped launch the whole thing. The series dropped in 2003 and turned into a massive hit, boosting careers for tons of models. Lely though, folks are calling out old episodes for body shaming, bullying, and challenges that don't age well, like ones touching on race or trauma. Simmons ain't closing the door on a comeback with the franchise down the line, leaving room for more moves in this evolving fashion game.
