Nyle DiMarco
The deaf model and artist's take on Grande's smash got praise from the pop diva herself.
"It’s a view of just a few seconds of a disabled person’s life," said DiMarco, an "America's Next Top Model" winner who is deaf.
Actor and model Nyle DiMarco is Deaf. He doesn’t understand the concept of silence — it’s just his default mode.
The comedian later deleted his tweet.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
“Pretending to be deaf is NOT ok,” male model and vocal disability advocate Nyle DiMarco tweeted.
“[People] think diversity has to do with race and gender, but there’s so much more to it.”
Don't think he didn't notice you too, lady. 👀
That's a wrap on Season 22!
He's also the show's first deaf contestant.
