NZ Next Top Model complaint dismissed
The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) has dismissed a complaint about an episode of television show New Zealand"s Next Top Model in which contestants posed topless in a mud pool.
The episode, broadcast on TV3 in August, included shots of contestants posing for a female photographer, wearing bikini bottoms and accessories. Some of the girls were topless but their breasts were covered in mud and concealed by steam from the pool.
A viewer complained about the episode, saying she was "disgusted and disappointed to see a 16-year-old girl being exploited".The BSA ruled the nudity was effectively masked and did not breach standards of good taste and decency. "We consider that the poses were non-sexual and were presented in an inoffensive way," it said.
