The fourteenth season of Germany's Next Topmodel aired on ProSieben from February to May 2019 under the catch phrase More Glam, More Stars, More Heidi.

The international destinations this cycle are Sölden, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Amsterdam and Paris.

Thomas Hayo and Michael Michalsky are not returning for their spots as judges, whilst the teams and battle concept are removed as well.

At the first main photo shoot with Kristian Schuller, the girls turned into radiant snow queens.

And fashion designer Wolfgang Joop surprised the models with a professional runway teaching for the perfect appearance on the catwalk.

But Kim decided to quit the competition for personal reason and Jasmin couldn't fly because of problems back at home.

But with the help and advice, the girls were assisted by guest judge and Germany's Next Topmodel, season 9 winner Stefanie Giesinger.

The girls had to jump as elegantly as possible from a three-meter tower into a swimming pool with a big bag and in bikinis from Heidi's own collection.

On the next day, the girls had a video shoot inspired by John Travolta's "Saturday Night Fever".

The week started with dance teaching with 4 drag queens: Derrick Barry, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo & Nebraska Thunderfuck.

At the end of the episode, it was announced that Vanessa decided to quit the competition because of personal problems - making Cäcilia, Sayana and Simone the Top 3.

Many, including Stanat herself, believe that this happened due to ProSieben being angry about her announcing her quit just a few weeks before the finale.

[3] In August 2022 in the wake of allegations by former participants against Germany's Next Topmodel, the winner of the 14th season, Simone Kowalski, also spoke up as she said: "Top Model is very dangerous for today's and the previous generations!

Kowalski also teamed up with America's Next Top Model contestant Lisa D'Amato to talk about her traumatic experiences with Germany's Next Topmodel.

[5][6] In February 2023 Der Spiegel gives a glimpse into the notorious gag contracts that candidates have to sign in order to be able to take part in the Heidi Klum show.

Germany's Next Topmodel can thus stylize people like Tessa Bergmeier (Season 4) as "bitches" without them being able to defend themselves effectively afterwards.

[7][8] In February 2023, the Berliner Zeitung published an article about the show with the headline: "Why isn't Germany’s Next Topmodel actually canceled?

Heidi is also partly responsible for the fact that, at least on TV, such behavior should not lead to extra airtime..." The article goes on to say: "With Germany’s Next Topmodel absolutely wrong values are conveyed.

"[10] In February 2023, the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung wrote that Germany’s Next Topmodel is one of the worst trash TV programs on German television.

[12] Also in February 2023, former judge Wolfgang Joop criticized the show and Heidi Klum again when he said he had no say in the decisions.

"[13] In February 2023 at the beginning of the 18th season, Heidi Klum gave a 10-minute speech in which she denied all allegations against her and the show and blamed the candidates themselves.

On the other hand, because in the show very young girls in absolutely exceptional and stressful situations meet experienced editors who know exactly what the viewers later want to see on television.

[18] In an article, Puls24 (Austria) asked whether Heidi Klum practiced perpetrator-victim reversal and Gaslighting.

[19] Frankfurter Allgemeine headlined: "This woman only has dollar signs in her eyes" and also assumed that Heidi Klum was doing a perpetrator-victim reversal.

[21] In March 2023 former judge Peyman Armin apologized to Lijana Kaggwa for what she had to experience on Germany's Next Topmodel.

[22][23] In March 2023 BILD published the following message: "If the contestants get along too well, they will receive instructions from the crew to argue and produce beef."

[24] In April 2023, Heidi Klum said about everything that happens at Germany's Next Topmodel: "At the end of the day I'm the boss and I make the rules!

The makers of the documentary admitted that they are familiar with difficult investigations, but they have never experienced it before that so many people were afraid to talk about what happened as these former participants and employees of Germany's Next Topmodel.

A crew member of the show who wished to remain anonymous is quoted as saying: "If you film a young woman from morning to night, you'll get every sectional image you want.

The statements by Heidi Klum, the broadcasting TV station Pro7 and the production company are presented as hypocrisy.
