ANTM's Miss J Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance 3 Years After Stroke

ANTM's Miss J Makes Rare Red Carpet Appearance 3 Years After Stroke
**Miss J Makes a Big Return to the Red Carpet after a 3-Year Absence** You might recall the drama that unfolded on the popular reality TV show America's Next Top Model (ANTM) back in 2012. For many Nigerians who are fans of the show, one of the most iconic judges, Jay, was a part of the show since its inception. After a long and memorable run, Jay, along with fellow judges Nigel and Miss J, was shockingly fired from the show. In a recent interview, Jay spoke about the difficult experience of being let go from the show. He revealed that the higher-ups at the network told Tyra, the show's creator, that changes were needed, and unfortunately, that meant letting go of some of the original judges. Jay, Nigel, and Miss J were told that they would be quoted in a press release announcing their departure, but instead, the news was broken by Page Six, which Jay described as a "lowest point" for him. Nigel, another popular judge, echoed Jay's sentiments, saying that being fired was "really tough" and "somewhat mercenary." He joked that they were eliminated from the show just like the contestants. Jay also shared that he had made concessions years ago to stay on the show, and being fired twice was like being "slapped across the face." Tyra, the show's creator, has spoken about the difficulty of delivering the news to Jay, Nigel, and Miss J. She revealed that she cried herself to sleep that night, and she still suspects that the trio didn't believe that the order to fire them came from above. Despite the drama, it's heartening to see Miss J making a rare red carpet appearance after a three-year absence.
