Adrianne Curry on ‘America’s Next Top Model’<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The 43-year-old alleged that Banks told them to “just do it,” so they proceeded.<\/p>\n
Curry said that “halfway through,” she “had an oozing wound from the braid” and that “half my hair had been ripped out” of her head.<\/p>\n
After winning the show, Curry said she traveled back to her hometown of Joliet, Ill., where she “had to go to a Black salon” to get the weave properly removed \u2014 but she couldn’t tell the employees where she got it put in “because I was under an NDA.”<\/p>\n
She said it took “hours and hours” for the staff to remove the weave, and that she was “left with a horrific mullet, scabs all over my head,\u201d and that the staff told her whoever put the weave in her head must’ve been “someone who hates” her.<\/p>\n
“It’s permanently damaged from that weave,” Curry said of the current state of her scalp. “It was so painful. I remember [fellow contestant] Kesse on the show was trying to teach me how to itch it, but I didn’t know. I didn’t know any of this. Before that, she saw me [scratching it] with a fork.”<\/p>\n
Curry finished the video by alleging that “I think most of those makeovers were done just to torture us,” and pointed out that she’d just trimmed her hair for one of the show’s photo challenges days prior, so the fact that they wanted to change her look again on the makeover episode shocked her.<\/p>\n
Entertainment Weekly<\/em> has reached out to a representative for Banks for comment.<\/p>\nIn ANTM<\/em> cycle 1, episode 3, “The Girl Who Gets Rushed to the Emergency Room,” Curry says in a confessional that she endured pain throughout the salon visit.<\/p>\n\n![\"Barbara](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/VjABWq.0WMCWQg_n8_3.WA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU3NjtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/49f0e25e68c9b335bd7787bafdce76ef\"\/)
