America’s Next Top Model star Lisa D’Amato has shared a video claiming Tyra Banks ‘exploited her childhood trauma’ for the show. 

The model, 40, found fame in 2005 after placing sixth on the show, before returning in 2011 and winning the All-Star competition.

Lisa took to Instagram this week to allege that Tyra, 47, ‘used her childhood trauma’ against her and that she risked a breach of contract by opening up about it on E!’s True Hollywood Story. 

She claims in the video: ‘I did it knowing that it was a breach of contract, still, because I felt like it was my duty to warn other girls that were going to audition for America’s Next Top Model to know that what you guys do and the way that you guys would poke me and use my childhood trauma against me, day in and day out. 

‘It was just so f**ked up, and it broke my heart. Like, how could you do that? I don’t know how you sleep at night. 

‘You, Tyra, you knew very well the horrible trauma that my mom inflicted on me, and you also talk so much about how you wouldn’t be where you are without your mother and how powerful she is. 

‘So knowing that, you still did that to me and continued to do it to other girls, even after I spoke publicly about it.’
