Runway rift? Jay Manuel‘s fictional take at the world of America’s Next Top Model hits a bit too with regards to house for Tyra Banks.
Earlier this month, Manuel, 47, printed The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown, a satirical novel focused on the behind-the-scenes motion of a modeling competition series. An insider tells Us Weekly completely that Banks, 46, was “harm, now not angry when she heard about the e book.”
“She truly loved her time on set with Jay,” the source adds.
Despite rumors that Banks has alienated other ANTM alums from Manuel, including runway trainer Miss J, the source says that the California local “didn’t ask Miss J to ghost or prevent speaking to Jay, and wouldn’t have.”
Manuel just lately opened up about the best way his courting with the new Dancing With the Stars host modified following his go out from ANTM on the finish of its eighth season, which aired in 2007.
“It was really, really unfortunate for the reason that display turned into a global phenomenon,” the make-up artist informed Us exclusively in July, noting that there was an “uncomfortable” tension when he returned to set for the ninth season. “We had such magical moments. Tyra and I had a courting, a piece dating, that started neatly earlier than America’s Next Top Model and we turned into friends.”
When he made up our minds to stroll away from the truth collection ahead of season 9, the creative director felt at the time that he’d “given the display all that I may just convey to the display” and was able to “transfer on” to different tasks.
“I glance back at it [now and] I think she probably felt offended that I was leaving roughly the display at its height,” Manuel mentioned. “I, again, I will’t speak for what she really idea at that time, but what was tough [for me] was the reaction.”
In May, the former Canada’s Next Top Model host admitted to Variety that although he’s exchanged a few emails with Banks over time, they “in reality have no courting to speak of” at this day and age.

While Manuel’s e-book has given Banks a bitter style in her mouth, the budding author hopes readers are in a position to remove some of the “really important core themes” about power dynamics within the place of work, in addition to “how the leisure trade offers with intersectionality and black ladies’s id.”
“It’s intended to be a variety of amusing,” Manuel instructed Us in July. “I wrote it in this type of satirical tone. I wanted it to be a work of satire, however there's a gravitas to the entire piece. … There are those actually essential topics that we’re talking about as of late in 2020, around the world. Yet, this is a actually amusing [and] laugh out loud. It’s an actual fast roller-coaster trip.”
