On Wednesday’s episode of Tamron Hall, the titular host devoted about 10 minutes to the relitigation of America’s Next Top Model’s flaws that occurred on social media (as well as in Jay Manuel’s book) earlier this year. “ANTM started trending again this year on Twitter, putting the show under a whole new microscope…

Over the weekend, a tweet concerning actress Alexa Demie kickstarted a firestorm of accusations that Demie, maybe 25, maybe 30, was lying about her real age.
