America's Next Top Model - Complaints about photo shoot
Thursday, 10 April 2008
A photo shoot on a brand-new episode of America's Next Top Model has caused quite a stir in the US, it has emerged.
According to RealityTVWorld.com, the Parents Television Council (PTC) objected to a nude model posing for shots, even though the scene had sections blurred out.
The episode in question is one from the tenth cycle of ANTM, which is currently airing in America.
It featured judge and noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker taking pictures of 19-year-old Anya Kop while she posed nude on a bed.
But this was too much for the council, which said it should not have been shown during the television network's Family Hour.
"Based upon our analysis of the broadcast in question we believe this has crossed the legal threshold for broadcast indecency," said PTC president Tom Winter.
Cycle ten of ANTM features a few differences from previous series of the show. It is now set in New York rather than Los Angeles and ex-model Twiggy has left the judging panel to be replaced with Paulina Porizkova.
According to reports, the international destination for the last episodes of the series is set to be Milan in Italy. Previous cycles have seen the models travel to London and Australia.
