ANTM Tea with Jay Manuel

This week on LadyGang, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos, controversy, and cultural impact of America’s Next Top Model with none other than Jay Manuel. With the viral buzz around the new Netflix doc unpacking the legacy of America's Next Top Model, Jay is here to spill what was really happening behind the scenes. From iconic runway meltdowns to the judging panel dynamics we didn’t see on TV, he gives his unfiltered take on the show’s most talked-about moments, and what it was like working alongside Tyra Banks at the height of ANTM mania. Was it empowering? Exploitative? Both? Jay breaks down how the show shaped reality TV, the fashion industry, and the mental health conversation we’re still having today. Meanwhile in LadyGang land… Jac adds yet another horrifying reason to her growing list of why we absolutely cannot use hotel coffee makers (you will never travel the same again). Keltie overshares about getting BV because nothing says sisterhood like bacterial vaginosis solidarity. And Becca might be drinking a little too much, but in her defense, life is lifing. It’s fashion nostalgia, unhinged travel paranoia, medical TMI, and honest girl talk — just the way you like it. Would you survive ANTM… or would you be crying in the model house by day three? 💅 More ways to listen: On Spotify: https://shorturl.at/oqC27 On PodcastOne: https://www.podcastone.com/ladygang-p...
