America’s Next Top Model always struck me as a scary combination of two dangerous elements, reality TV and modeling (no offense, Tyra). But I never knew it could be life-threatening– until I heard about the woman who was stabbed because she was talking during the show.

A woman who suffered life-threatening stab wounds to her chest and neck Wednesday allegedly was attacked by another woman who had been upset that she was too loud while watching America’s Next Top Model.

Police say the 42-year-old victim and her friends were in a Columbia City apartment drinking beer and watching the reality show hosted by former supermodel Tyra Banks, in which women compete for a chance to launch their modeling careers. The alleged attacker, an acquaintance of the victim, told the other woman to stop talking loudly…. When the “Top Model” fan refused, police say the other woman then opened the apartment door and told her to get out… the argument then turned physical, with one woman having a clump of her hair pulled out.

The attacker then pulled a paring knife from a nearby apple and began stabbing the 42-year-old, according to a police report. Witnesses were able to pull the knife away and separate the two before police say one ran into a bedroom.

Luckily, the victim is alive. Unfortunately, the “die-hard” America’s Next Top Model fan is still at large.
