Janice Dickinson says she doesn't regret the controversial comments she made as a judge on 'America's Next Top Model': 'It was acting'

• Janice Dickinson said she doesn't regret the comments she made on "America's Next Top Model."
• The former supermodel addressed the comments in a TikTok shared Wednesday.

Janice Dickinson said she doesn't have any regrets about the critiques she doled out during her time as a judge on "America's Next Top Model."

In a TikTok shared on Wednesday, the former supermodel was asked about the comments she directed to contestants on the modeling competition show. She shared the same video on Instagram Friday, where she has nearly 30,000 more followers than on TikTok. As of Saturday, the TikTok video has more than 176,000 views and the Instagram video has more than 2,270 likes.

"Do you have any regrets about things you said during your time as a judge on ANTM?" an off-camera voice asked Dickinson in the video.

"Uh, no," she replied. "It was acting, and that's that."

In the caption of both videos, Dickinson wrote, "People forget that tv is acting."

Representatives for Dickinson declined to comment when contacted by Insider.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Dickinson served as a judge for the first four seasons, referred to on the show as "cycles."

In July, resurfaced footage of Dickinson and "ANTM" host Tyra Banks went viral after a now-deleted TikTok account by @hotgirlseurope shared clips of the pair criticizing a contestant's body.

The compilation shows Banks and Dickinson discussing "plus-size" model Robbyne Manning during the first season of the show, with Dickinson calling the then-26-year-old "fat" and "huge."

Dickinson rose to prominence as a supermodel in the 1970s and 1980s and has long referred to herself as "the first supermodel ever."

In recent years, she's spoken out about "Top Model" and her strenuous relationship with the show's creator, supermodel Tyra Banks. Dickinson called Banks "soulless" and "cold" in an interview with Fox News in 2012 after reports surfaced that Banks had fired other judges on the show.

She later apologized to Banks in a 2015 video with the Oprah Winfrey Network and took time to explain her role on the popular reality show.

"When I was hired to do 'America's Next Top Model,' Trya hired me to be like a female Simon Cowell, to be feeding, in a negative fashion, things about the girls," she said.

In April, several former "ANTM" contestants spoke to Insider's Kate Taylor about the way they were treated by judges and producers, saying the show caused lasting damage. Cycle 12 contestant Aminat Ayinde also told Insider that her experience on the series was like "psychological warfare."
