Miss J Alexander opened up on Sherri Shepherd's show about Tyra Banks not visiting him after his stroke, despite an initial outreach. While other celebs like Angela Bassett and Jay Manuel showed up, Tyra stayed away, leaving Miss J feeling neglected. The revelation comes amid buzz around their America's Next Top Model history.
Oh honey, the tea is piping hot from the set of Sherri! Miss J Alexander, the runway legend who shaped so many supermodel dreams, spilled during his interview with Sherri Shepherd that Tyra Banks still hasn't swung by to see him post-stroke. Remember, this is the same Tyra he mentored starting when she was just 17, teaching her those fierce catwalk struts on America's Next Top Model. 💅
Miss J didn't hold back on the hurt: Tyra "reached out" right when it happened, but never made the trip in person, leaving him feeling "a certain kinda way." Ouch! Meanwhile, the support squad was real—Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, George Lopez, and his ANTM cohosts Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker all made the effort to visit during his tough recovery. Paralyzed after the stroke, Miss J spent a full year and five months getting back on his feet, and he rolled up to Sherri's show sans wheelchair, serving resilience! 👏
Jay Manuel got emotional chiming in: "I saw the pain in his eyes, to be honest with you... It broke our hearts." And this all drops as Netflix streams "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," peeling back the layers on their iconic collab. Catch the full Sherri episode on February 24—local listings, don't sleep! Is this the end of an era for these top model titans, or just a runway rift? Spill more, Miss J! 🔥
