I always just pinned Ken Mok.'įormer ANTM creative director Jay Manuel also took aim at Banks and the show in his satirical novel The Wig, The B**** & The Meltdown. In addition to calling out Banks, she called out the show's co-creator: 'You know, I never knew if you were innocent or guilty. So knowing that, you still did that to me and continued to do it to other girls, even after I spoke publicly about it.' 'And you also talk so much about how you wouldn't be where you are without your mother and how powerful she is. You, Tyra, you knew very well the horrible trauma that my mom inflicted on me.
