This is horrific. The new docuseries sheds light on what really happened to Shandi in Cycle 2, and no one is taking accountability for it.

Shandi says the producers and crew should have put a stop to what was happening and protected her. Instead, they filmed everything, and even set up a scene the next day where Tyra hung out with the contestants to give them advice and pointedly talked about cheating, seemingly to get Shandi to address what happened and reinforce the narrative that she was in the wrong. 

"She just puts it on the screen in front of me," Shandi recalls. "And I don’t look at it. And she’s like, 'I noticed you weren’t looking.' I’m like, I literally told you behind the scenes, like, 'I’ve never seen it. I don’t wanna see it. Don’t show it.' You didn’t respect that at all. That’s awful. That was miserable. Miserable. That behavior doesn’t stop. Her behavior doesn’t change."

This is after previously emphasizing how involved she was in creating and producing the show.

And that's literally all she has to say on the subject in the docuseries.
