An actress has come forward on TikTok to share her account of what she described as a deeply troubling experience at a film production casting call in 2026, where she claims she and other women, some as young as 14, were allegedly connected to a man convicted of sex crimes against minors and young women. Renée Simms, who goes by @imreneesimms on TikTok, posted a video that had received over 404,900 views and more than 24,800 likes at the time of writing. In it, she said that on May 17, 2026, she responded to a casting call on Backstage for a project titled Your Best Nightmare, posted by a company called TheBFly.co. Simms said she was asked to attend three separate Zoom calls with the company. The first two covered the company’s upcoming projects and goals, she said. But during the third call, she claimed, the company introduced their lead investor, Anand Jon Alexander, a model and fashion designer who had appeared on America’s Next Top Model. Simms says she found out about the lead investor and conditions on set According to Simms, Alexander, whom she referred to throughout the video as “AJ”, was convicted in 2009 of 16 counts of rape, molestation, and harassment involving minors and young adult women. She said the company described him only as “controversial” without disclosing the nature of his conviction, and instead sent cast members a podcast and an article that she said portrayed his case as a victim story. @imreneesimms Pls share with everyone you can
