Social media reacts to Miss J. Alexander's story in 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model'
Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model has sparked a lot of conversation online, both about the reality show's scandals and what's happened to former runway panel judge Miss J. Alexander since the show ended.
America's Next Top Model fans remember Miss J. for her fierce runway walk and quick wit. Now, in Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, the runway coach, who trained 18 cycles worth of aspiring models on how to strut their stuff, reveals he is unable to walk, following a stroke on Dec. 27, 2022.
In the third episode of Netflix's documentary mini-series, titled "Rooting for You," Alexander shared the reality of his situation. Following the stroke, he was in a coma for five weeks. "I couldn't walk, and I couldn't speak," Alexander said in a talking head interview for Reality Check. He then shared that fellow America's Next Top Model judges Nigel Barker and Jay Manuel came to visit in the hospital. The show features a clip with the trio reuniting on the set for the doc.
Asked if America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks has visited, Alexander's response was, "No. Not yet."
