Controversies and criticism

Throughout the season, six contestants quit the competition, breaking the record for most voluntary exits in the history of Germany's Next Topmodel. Most of them stated that during filming, they were feeling mentally and physically exhausted.[5][6]

Contestant Ashley Amegan stated that the production team had bullied her into changing her personality for the show.[7] That's why she left the show even though she made it to the live finale.[8]
