The stroke left Alexander unable to walk after a long career of teaching models how to walk the runway
He revealed that Tyra has not visited him — but has “reached out” — in a Thursday, Feb. 19 appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show Sherri
Former America’s Next Top Model judge Miss J Alexander revealed that his former reality co-star Tyra Banks has still not visited him since he had a stroke in 2022.
In a Thursday, Feb. 19 appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show Sherri alongside Nigel Barker and Jay Manuel, Alexander, 67, revealed that while Banks, 52, has “reached out,” she has still not visited her former reality show costar since he suffered the stroke.
The fashion icon shared that Angela Bassett, Alfre Woodard, George Lopez, and more have paid him visits as he continues his recovery journey, before adding “Ty didn’t” while staring into the camera.
However, Alexander added that she “she did reach out when it first happened” and had told him she was “in LA,” allegedly without further comment.
PEOPLE has reached out to a representative for Banks for comment.
“You taught Tyra how to walk that runway,” Shepherd, 58, responded. You’ve known her since she was 17 years old. There’s got to, like you said, so many people reached out to you and called, visitors who came to see you,” she said.

Alexander’s fellow former ANTM judge Nigel Barker jumped in, saying that in spite of Banks living “all over the world” that “If you have a friend or someone you care about, you just go the extra mile, don’t you?”
When Shepherd asked Alexander if Banks’ absence made him “feel some type of way,” he responded “Yes.”
In the new Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, Alexander spoke candidly about his medical emergency, which left him unable to walk. “I miss being the queen of the runway, the queen of the catwalk, of course. I’m the person who taught models how to walk. I taught models how to walk, and now I can’t walk,” he said in the Netflix series, released on Monday, Feb. 16.
