She was asked to take part in the documentary but declined, sharing in an Instagram post: "I don't trust people to not manipulate things I say for TV, so I decline everything. Also, the public is cult-like and cruel, so the last thing I want is a bunch of eyeballs on me."

In recent years she has returned to television and has starred in Diarra from Detroit and Vs Electronic Dance.

In 2025 Mora announced her directorial debut, Elizabeth Speaks, a documentary film that explores "the transformative powers of ancestral connection in a conversation between world renowned supermodel, Naima Mora and her revolutionary grandmother, political artist and force, Elizabeth Catlett".

Biggest cycle 4 drama

Though Mora was not on the receiving end of this moment, cycle 4 marked the season in which Tyra Banks yelled at Tiffany Richardson: "We were rooting for you, we were all rooting for you!"

The moment took place when Richardson was eliminated after giving up in a task that saw the models read a teleprompter filled with designer names that were deemed difficult to pronounce.

Reflecting on that moment in the documentary, Banks said: "I just wanted to change this woman's life. I felt like she could have been a supermodel with a capital S."

She added: "I saw her not believing in herself and giving up. Not just her giving up on this modelling competition, but deeper.'"

Biggest cycle 5 drama

Though Lisa D'Amato went on to win cycle 17, she originally appeared on the fifth cycle and was known to be quite the wild child during her initial series run.

In one episode she wore an adult diaper and proceeded to urinate inside it as her fellow models watched on in shock.

In 2020, D'Amato claimed that she was told to tone down her behaviour, adding: "As I walked down the stairs I saw a bag of diapers. I decided to pee on the show. Because fair is fair.

"I knew I’d get eliminated but I also knew the contract was s**t and my attorney directed me to NOT win but be MEMORABLE. I did just that."

Biggest cycle 6 drama

In season 6, winner Danielle Evans was scorned by Banks for refusing to close the gap in her teeth, with Banks asking her: "Do you really think you can have a Cover Girl contract with the gap in your mouth?"

In recent years, Evans has spoken about the moment and explained that after much back and forth with Banks, they compromised on Evans getting the gap partially closed.

"I was not going to allow something that is physical on my face to stop me from getting out to make a better life for myself," she said. "Nothing or no one was going to stand in my way. And it wasn't about copping out, it was about understanding what really carries weight and holds value in my life – and teeth wasn't one of them."
