ANTM Winner Adrianne Curry Alleges Tyra Banks-Ordered Weave Caused Lasting Scalp Damage

Entertainment Weekly reported her Instagram claim, noting no comment yet from Banks.

Overview

  • Curry says stylists warned on set that her hair was too fragile for a weave before Banks allegedly told them to proceed.
  • She describes developing an oozing wound during the installation and says significant hair was ripped out.
  • After filming, she says an Illinois salon spent hours removing the weave, leaving scabs and a severe haircut, while she avoided naming the show due to an NDA.
  • More than two decades later, she claims a patch near her left temple no longer grows hair and shows the area in her video.
  • Archival episode footage captures her calling the process long and painful, and outlets note the allegation rests on her account with limited independent corroboration.
