Kelly Cutrone Defends Tyra Banks Over Miss J. Stroke
3 Jun
Summary
- Tyra Banks and Ken Mok were concerned about Miss J.'s health.
- Miss J. was hospitalized under an alias, hindering visits.
- Cutrone provided text evidence of Tyra and Ken's concern.
Kelly Cutrone is defending Tyra Banks against claims that she did not visit America's Next Top Model co-star Miss J. Alexander after his stroke. In a recent interview, Cutrone stated that Banks and producer Ken Mok were immediately concerned when they learned of Miss J.'s medical emergency in December 2022. While Banks and Mok were on the West Coast, they asked Cutrone, who was closer, to check on Miss J. in New York.
Cutrone provided screenshots of text messages allegedly from Mok, dated December 30, 2022, showing their worry. Cutrone explained that Miss J. was admitted to the hospital under an alias by his niece, which made it difficult for anyone to visit him or get information. This, Cutrone asserts, explains why Banks did not visit him in the hospital at that time, as they couldn't locate him.
Miss J. publicly discussed his stroke in Netflix's Reality Check docuseries, stating Banks had not yet visited him, though she had sent a text. Cutrone acknowledged Miss J.'s feelings but emphasized Banks' and Mok's genuine concern at the time of the incident.
