Miss J Opened Up About His Stroke in the ‘ANTM’ Documentary
“On December 27th of 2022, I had a stroke. I woke up. I didn’t know where I was other than in the hospital,” Alexander said in the “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” documentary. “I spent five weeks in a coma, and I couldn’t walk. And I couldn’t talk. And I thought to myself, what was I going to do?”
People explains that while “his ability to speak has returned, … he is still reliant on a wheelchair to get around—an extremely difficult reality for someone who used to walk the runway and teach others how to walk the runway for a living.”
“I miss being the queen of the runway,” he noted in the documentary. “The catwalks, of course. I’m the person who taught models how to walk. I taught models how to walk.”
Now, People points out that “with nearly three and a half years of rehabilitation under his belt, he’s bringing his loud personality back into the spotlight.”
