US EditionANTM’s Jay Manuel Shares Biggest Regret as Judge After Watching Docuseries
- On Tuesday, February 24, Jay Manuel, former America's Next Top Model creative director and judge, said he chose to leave after cycle eight and wished he had set clearer boundaries and pushed back on production.
- Facing a controversial shoot, Manuel said sponsors and network pressures narrowed his control after cycle four, and he asked to be excused from the race-swapping Got Milk? shoot, with Tyra replying, `I will handle this on camera with the girls, just go and do your job.`
- The series shows a Cycle 8 photo shoot staged as crime victims, with Walters saying it seemed designed to trigger a breakdown, and recounts pressure on Dani to close her gap, which she later did in her attempt to play the game.
- After cycle 18, Manuel, Nigel Barker, and Miss J. Alexander did not have their contracts renewed, and Manuel said a leak about their departure surfaced before the planned press release.
- Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, now streaming on Netflix, has reignited conversation and prompted Tyra Banks to confirm ANTM's return for Cycle 25.
