‘America’s Next Top Model‘s legacy will be a confusing one.

While praised for permeating Pop culture and solidifying Tyra Banks‘ legacy on one hand, it- rather unfortunately- is also critiqued for its failure to produce an actual ‘Top Model’ and its treatment of its contestants.

From forcing African-American models to shave their heads bald for ratings-pulling reactions, to allegedly doing little to support the careers of its winners, the show- for more informed viewers- isn’t all Banks and company touted it to be.

The latest contestant to criticise the platform?

Tiffany Richardson, berated by Banks when she refused to cry after learning she had been eliminated in its fourth cycle.

What she has to say about her experience?

Joseline Hernandez made headlines when it was announced that she’d be joining ‘The Real’ as a guest-host.

As reported, the show has welcomed a series of visitors to fill the still-vacant seat left by  panelist Tamar Braxton – whose outlandish antics were reportedly the reason for her axing.

Yet, with the ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ firecracker being renown for popping off at a moment’s notice, some scratched their heads at the decision to book her.

As for us, we loved it!

Ms. Hernandez showcased the same spark, while offering an air of refined. Her stint made for a great week of laughs and highlighted how she’s grown  – without losing what makes her…her.

Here are a selection of our favorite moments from the Puerto Rican Princess’ stint on ‘The Real’ …

Omarosa has been catching flack left, right, and center for her highly prominent role in President Donald Trump‘s administration.

Unfazed, the reality-star-turned-pastor-turned-political-Director-of-Communications is standing firm in her word and cutting into anyone who crosses her path.

Such was the case during her recent visit to The View.

The former ‘Apprentice’ contestant fired from all cylinders when tackled by the ladies on the show. She sunk her claws especially deep into anchor Joy Behar.

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to honour the work of artists responsible for some of Pop culture’s brightest moments.

Today, as her role of villain on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ keeps her name hot on the lips of a new generation of TV lovers, we honour Kenya Moore‘s contributions to music, fashion and film and the often overlooked career she enjoyed before becoming a “Housewife.”

Born on January 24th 1971, Moore rose to stardom aged 22 when she became the winner of Miss USA in 1993.

What came next was a fruitful run in Hollywood which saw her support African-American fronted projects with performances which, for better or worse, would lead her to ‘Housewives’ front door.

Take that journey to the past with us via clips pulled from her projects below…

‘Scandal’ is back!

Following a longer than planned hiatus (to accommodate Kerry Washington‘s pregnancy), the show picks up right where it left off – with fireworks!

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama promises (and is already delivering) many an explosive twist and turn for its sixth season. Election, anyone?!

Smash hit series ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ is back for a titillating third season.

Vanity Fair captures the media’s move towards increased diversity on their 2nd annual Hollywood Portfolio cover.

Stars, both established and rising, aligned for the striking shot which was lensed by Anne Leibovitz. 

Included is Janelle Monae, who has received rave reviews for her roles in ‘Hidden Figures’ and ‘Moonlight’ (both of which received several Oscar nominations).

Also featured is Lupita Nyong’o, whose recent film ‘The Queen Of Katwe’ was critically acclaimed.

We were also elated to spot Aja Naomi King. For, beyond her work on ‘How To Get Away With Murder,’ she’s still managing to shine through the darkness that encased ‘The Birth Of A Nation’ – which she starred in last year alongside Nate Parker.

Peep the ladies close up’s after the jump…
