My ant plant is growing aggressively away from the sun - i’ve never seen this before! His leaves are also yellowing (middle of plant in photo). He’s on a windowsill, west-facing, in North Carolina summer temps, any ideas on what’s happening?

You may want to try to water it more (the leaves look squishy) and maybe try repotting it. Those tips may work.
