It is currently the longest-running Top Model adaptation, with a span of 19 years, and the Top Model series with the second-most number of cycles. The show has faced heavy criticism in Germany due to the treatment of its contestants.[2][3][4][5] The allegations include gaslighting,[6] abuse of power,[7] misrepresentation of contestants[8] and manipulations by the crew[9] as well as body shaming.[10] The show is also accused of being responsible for the cyberbullying[11] and death threats[12] against the contestants due to the show's misrepresentation[13] of them. The show is also in the focus of the Commission for Youth Media Protection[14] and the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.[15] Former judges have distanced themselves from the show.[16]
