“I’ve only had an amazing experience [on the show]. I can’t speak for Gabrielle,” Klum continued. “I didn’t experience the same thing. To me, everyone treats you with the utmost respect.”

“A lot of people got mad at me. I was called, for example, ‘a white woman,'” Klum shared. “I think it is important for everyone to speak their truth. I think that when there is a story, it should be told. I had a different story.”
“I can only speak to what I saw — it has nothing to do with what colour I am,” she added. “I am a human so I just looked at what I saw.”
