Former America’s Next Top Model<\/a> judge Miss J Alexander shockingly revealed in the new Netflix documentary that he suffered a stroke in 2022, leaving him in a coma and unable to walk.<\/p>\n

Miss J Alexander revealed during the documentary: ”\u00a0I spent five weeks in a coma, I couldn\u2019t walk, and I couldn\u2019t talk. And I thought to myself, \u2018What was I going to do?\u2019”<\/p>\n

Miss J Alexander also claimed that Tyra Banks had never come to visit him following his stroke.<\/p>\n

Whilst we don’t get a huge update during the documentary about how the ANTM icon Miss J Alexander is doing after his stroke, he spoke more about his recovery in an interview with Tudum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He explained that he’s “fine” and is currently “healing and dealing.” When asked why he felt like now what the right time to share his story, he explained: “I\u2019m good at what I did \u2014 do and did \u2014 which is teaching models how to inky slink down the runway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The director of the Netflix documentary, Daniel Sivan, always personally noted how Miss J’s recovery matters within the larger story of ANTM, explaining: “He would give confidence to so many people that were watching it saying, \u2018It is OK to be who you are.’ It\u2019s just about giving zero f*cks. \u2018I am who I am, and you people accept it.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Miss J Alexander adds: “After spending five weeks in a coma and one year, five months in the hospital, I\u2019m alive to tell it as I lived it. And no dreams of the afterlife, not one.\u201d<\/p>\n
