Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Janice is overbearing, constantly yelling, passive-aggressive, abrasive, and egotistical. She's condescending to the models, building them up and then knocking them down. On the plus side, there's diversity in the cast.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Photo shoots in skimpy clothes, nude modeling (blurred out), plenty of cleavage and guys with six-pack abs.

  • Language:

    Swear words are bleeped out.

  • Consumerism:

    The entire series plays like an ad for the modeling agency.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency

Parents need to know that this reality series focuses on discovering men and women who have the potential to become models. Host Janice Dickinson (herself a former model) has an abrasive, overbearing personality. She tells potential models to lose weight, firm up, or that they're too short. She refers to herself as "the world's first supermodel." She also gets botox injections on the program.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why models are so idolized. Why do young people go to such great lengths to become fashion models? Are they "models" of anything besides a particular type of body image? Does the series inspire your teens to go into modeling? What do they see as the advantages and disadvantages of a career in modeling?
