“Just rubbish”: Youtuber Rezo dissects “Germany’s next top model”

In his video, he keeps playing old excerpts. Rezo (who keeps his real name secret) particularly criticizes that the participants are sexualized, for example by posing naked once morest their will and seducing male models in front of the camera. In retrospect, you can see how the models, some of whom are underage, burst into tears or express concerns.

The producers would build up pressure until the models gave in and believed that such behavior was normal in the business. In addition, Klum, who has moderated the show since 2006, would repeatedly blaspheme with the photographers regarding the “exhausting” candidates following naked shoots. “Your whole species is just rubbish,” complains Rezo.

Bodyshaming

The show has been heavily criticized in recent years. Most of the allegations revolved around the fact that underage viewers are driven into anorexia. In the snippets you can also see how the candidates’ weight gain is discussed. Rezo locates “structural body shaming and evidence of how negative and toxic this show is affecting millions of women”. It is a mystery to him that the show has not yet been canceled.
