America’s Next Top Model’s Sarah Hartshorne Calls Show a 'Cult' in Memoir


Sarah Hartshorne reveals 'cult-like' behind-the-scenes details of 'America's Next Top Model' in her memoir and shares shocking contestant experiences

Hartshorne wrote about feeling sick from the heat and claimed she asked to go to a bathroom to throw up, but was allegedly told no by a crew member. “The camera crew would always follow me to the scale, so I’d hide the number with my foot, curling up my toes so I could peek and decide how to feel about the day.” She compared the producers’ alleged tactics to “ones used by cult leaders to inspire obedience.” Hartshorne claimed that the crew took their phones and watches and “prohibited” newspapers, clocks or anything else that would tell the contestants “what day or time it was.”
