Tyra Banks is being sued for featuring a then 15-year-old girl on her show about sex addiction without parental consent. A McDonough woman is suing Banks, claiming the TV host featured her then-15-year-old daughter about sex addiction.
According to public records obtained by Reuters, Beverly McClendon, a licensed social worker said her daughter answered an open call placed on Banks’ website last October. The show’s producers contacted the girl and invited her to appear as a guest.
A month later, the teen allegedly flew unaccompanied to New York, where she was put up in a hotel in advance of her paid appearance on “Tyra,” which ceased production in May. McClendon said she had no idea about her daughter’s television debut until it was too late.
McClendon seeks $3 million in damages, McClendon’s complaint asserts the teen’s right to privacy was violated. She seeks an injunction against any future airings of the program, which still appears in repeats on the CW network. She believes that “This show was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts and pedophiles alike.”
