Eva Marcille is making it crystal clear — she had no clue about the dark side of “America’s Next Top Model” now blowing up in Netflix’s scandal-soaked doc.
The Cycle 3 winner told “CBS Mornings” Thursday she was gobsmacked watching “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” … saying it felt bizarre for her to be part of a club, and not know what’s actually going on in the club.
Eva admitted she could relate to some of the pressure contestants faced … but said nothing in her own experience came close to the disturbing claims now coming to light, which firmly put show host Tyra Banks in the hot seat.
The doc pulls zero punches … diving into allegations including Shandi Sullivan’s sexual assault claim, forced medical tweaks for “marketability,” personal trauma exploitation, racially tone-deaf and dangerous photoshoots … and the harsh reality many winners faced once the cameras stopped rolling.

As for Eva, she says she didn’t even know the doc was happening and wasn’t asked to participate … but TBH, it was probably best for her to sit this one out, ’cause looks like this doc was as a long-overdue reckoning for those contestants who hadn’t been as lucky as her.
