Overview
- Curry detailed the allegation in an Oct. 31 Instagram video, pointing to hair loss she says dates to filming during Cycle 1 in 2002–03.
- She says Banks instructed stylists to install a weave despite their warning that her hair was too fragile.
- Curry describes developing an oozing wound and scabs as the weave ripped out hair, leaving a patch she says no longer grows.
- She says the show did not remove the weave, so a Black salon in Joliet, Illinois took it out while she was bound by an NDA.
- People, Us Weekly, and Complex report her account and note no response from Banks’ team; a Season 1 episode captured Curry calling the weave process painful.
