Tyra Banks<\/a> is being talked about by pretty much everyone as the new America’s Next Top Model<\/a> documentary hits Netflix<\/a>. She didn’t actually appear in the emotional series until the very last minute, and that could be because she was in a lawsuit just months ago.<\/p>\n

If you’ve followed Tyra for a while, you may remember she owned an ice cream shop – until December 2025. She’d pretty much abandoned the whole concept, which was called SMIZE, which then led to her getting sued for a whopping $2.8 million.<\/p>\n

A landlord living in Washington DC basically sued Tyra and her business partner, Louis Martin, over a failed ten-year lease for the ice cream shop. The lawsuit alleges they abandoned the Eastern Market property in June 2024 without paying rent. Yikes.<\/p>\n
