In the recently released Netflix docuseries 'Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model', Miss J. Alexander revealed that he suffered a debilitating stroke on December 27, 2022, which left him paralyzed from the waist down and unable to speak for a significant period. He spent five weeks in a coma and has been in recovery since then, stating, "I woke up, I didn’t know where I was, other than the hospital. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t talk. It was emotional. I cried. I’m not ashamed to say I cried." Despite the challenges, he remains optimistic about his recovery, asserting, "I’m determined to walk. I’m sure you’re going to see me again. It’s not over for me yet." However, he expressed disappointment that Tyra Banks, the show's creator and host, has not yet visited him, saying, "No, not yet. She just sent me a text that she wants to come and visit me, but no. Not yet," as reported by sources including Geo Entertainment and The Guardian.
