《全美超模大赛》（America’s Next Top Model）冠军伊娃·马克尔（Eva Marcille）表示，当她观看Netflix新推出的关于该节目的纪录片时“目瞪口呆”，而她称自己并未被邀请参与其中。
“这些故事‘令人惊奇地恐怖’。我亲身经历过我的生活，我走过自己的路。尽管有一定程度的共鸣，但人们会认为有人走过同样的路，我却完全不知道。绝对一无所知，”这位第三季冠军本周在接受《CBS早间新闻》采访时说道。
她回忆称，自己立即联系了该真人秀的前评委兼创意总监杰·曼纽尔（Jay Manuel），以表达自己的震惊。
“我感到敬畏。我告诉杰，我惊得张大了嘴巴。成为某个圈子的一员，却不知道这个圈子里发生了什么，这太疯狂了，”马克尔说。
马克尔表示，自她参赛季播出后的近20年里，她参与了154个项目，但《全美超模大赛》在她的履历中仍然独树一帜。
“无论我在做什么项目，参与什么工作，‘超模大赛’总会以某种方式出现在我的采访中，”她说，“这绝对是我生活的一部分。但我不明白为什么每次采访时它都会成为话题。”
在该系列纪录片中，泰拉·班克斯（Tyra Banks）强调了她为所有体型和背景的女性提供平等模特机会的目标——这一使命引起了马克尔的共鸣。
马克尔说：“因为我是我那季里最矮的女孩，在模特行业里，一个黑人女孩这么矮是闻所未闻的，这永远不会发生。”她补充道，该节目给了她难得的机会，证明自己有能力取得成功。
尽管模特们经历了两个半月的训练营，马克尔表示，这最终仍是一个旨在娱乐观众的电视节目。
这部纪录片揭露了争议性的幕后时刻，包括饮食失调问题以及模特被迫化黑人妆（Blackface）的情况。一名参赛者指控制作方拍摄了她的性侵事件，然后将其塑造成电视上的作弊丑闻；另一名参赛者声称，她感到被迫为一次照片拍摄扮演犯罪受害者——这段经历让她感到特别痛苦，因为她的母亲此前曾在暴力袭击中被枪击。
“没有制片人助纣为虐，那种环境是不可能存在的，”马克尔声称。
CBS新闻联系了《全美超模大赛》的制作方，包括班克斯，以就这些指控置评，但尚未收到回应。
回顾自己在该节目中的时光，马克尔回忆起参赛者们感受到的希望与压力交织的复杂情绪。
“当时，我们还是孩子，试图通过一个我们相信能实现我们梦想的女人来实现和完成我们的梦想。如果她能看到我们的潜力，那么世界也会看到我们的潜力，因为世界也看到了她的潜力。这只是一个电视节目，为了赢得比赛，”她说。
尽管如此，马克尔表示，她将永远感谢班克斯给予的机会。
“我想说的是，我永远不会忘记感谢泰拉。泰拉在这个行业里所做的事情，尤其是‘超模大赛’，我将永远称赞。起初，她立志改变世界，改变模特行业的面貌、声音、感觉和期望，而她确实为我做到了这一点，”她补充道。
“America’s Next Top Model” winner Eva Marcille describes “amazingly horrifying” docuseries allegations

“America’s Next Top Model” winner Eva Marcille said she “was gobsmacked” when she watched the new Netflix docuseries about the show, which she says she wasn’t invited to participate in.
“Amazingly horrifying for the stories. I have lived my experience. I have walked in my shoes. And though there is a level of relatability, one would assume someone having walked in the same shoes, I had no idea. Like absolutely no idea,” the Season 3 winner told “CBS Mornings” this week.
She recalls immediately reaching out to Jay Manuel, a former judge and creative director on the reality show to express her shock.
“I was in awe. I told Jay my mouth was wide open. To be a part of a club and not know what’s going on in the club is crazy,” Marcille said.
Marcille said she’s worked on 154 projects in the nearly two decades since her season aired, but “America’s Next Top Model” still stands out on her resume.
“No matter what project I’m doing, what I’m involved in, somehow ‘Top Model’ finds its way in my interviews,” she said. “Its absolutely a part of my life. But I didn’t understand why it was such a topic every time I interviewed with someone.”
In the series, Tyra Banks emphasized her goal of giving women of all shapes and backgrounds equal opportunities in modeling — a mission that resonated with Marcille.
Marcille said, “‘Being that I was the shortest girl on my season and the idea of a Black girl and this short in the modelling business, it’s unheard of. It won’t ever happen,’” adding that the show gave her the rare opportunity to prove she has the chops to succeed.
Though the models went through a two-and-a-half-month bootcamp, Marcille said it was still ultimately a TV show designed to entertain.
The docuseries exposes controversial behind-the-scenes moments, from eating disorders to models being made to wear Blackface. One contestant alleged that production filmed her sexual assault and then framed it as a cheating scandal for TV, while another alleged she felt pressured into posing as a crime victim for a photoshoot — an experience she found particularly traumatic because her mother had previously been shot in a violent attack.
“That environment could not exist without producers aiding and abetting what was going on,” Marcille claimed.
CBS News reached out to “America’s Next Top Model” show producers, including Banks, for comment on the allegations but has not received a response.
Reflecting on her time on the show, Marcille recalled the mix of hope and pressure contestants felt.
“At the time, we were kids trying to find our dreams realized and actualized by a woman that we believed could do that for us. And if she could see it in us, then the world would see it in us because the world sees it in her. It was just a TV show, to win a competition,” she said.
Despite everything, Marcille said she’ll be forever grateful to Banks for the opportunity.
“What I will say is I will never fail to thank Tyra. What Tyra set out to do in this business I will always say, especially for ‘Top Model.’ Initially, she set out to change the world, to change what the modelling industry looked like, sounded like, felt like and expected and she did that for me,” she added.
