J. Alexander Jenkins, best known as ‘Miss J’ for his time on America’s Next Top Model, is a runway coach who got involved with the modelling competition show in 2003. He became a part of the OGs as a member of the very first ‘cycle’ of the show. Tyra Banks, who created and hosted the series, invited Miss J to participate after he helped her strut the runway when she was just a teenager.
However, in 2012, he was let go. While he continued to appear on international versions of America’s Next Top Model and to help models with their walks, his career came to a halt in December 2022 after he had a stroke. He was in a coma for five weeks and woke up unable to walk or talk. Miss J has since regained his speech but is still relearning how to walk. Nonetheless, he has been making headlines for his appearance in Netflix docuseries, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, which premiered on February 16, 2026.
