And the producers encouraged a contestant to pose in a grave after receiving news of her best friend's death in yet another old clip.
"I do think it's a little unfair for people to persecute Tyra now, especially because she has already taken heat for her past executive decisions in past years," Jay told Variety."However, I can't really defend her either because when ratings were high and things were great, she remained a clear figurehead, because it was her show."
"Consistently, when s--t hit the fan and people wanted to talk about some of the things that were said on the show, we would have another singular EP come forward to claim that all creative decisions were made as the team, and I really wish that were the case, but that just simply is not true," he added.
One of the moments that drew the biggest online ire was when the show appeared to promote blackface, which Jay said he witnessed personally. "I do remember, and it was very uncomfortable for me, in Cycle 4, it was a photoshoot where the girls had to swap races," he began."I was so, so, so uncomfortable with this. I was never scripted for my intros or anything, and I didn’t know how I was going to be able to set this up -- I was so afraid that I would wear this because I was the creative director, but it was not my idea.
