Tyra Banks Is Leaving The Fab Life
Tyra Banks is leaving her ABC daytime talk show ‘FABLife’ after less than three months.
The actress, television host, and fashion mogul is said to be focusing on her cosmetics line ‘Tyra Beauty’ and has been looking for ways to expand the line. According to the Wall Street Journal, Banks is reportedly looking for investors for the mostly self-funded venture which she kick-started in October of this year.
Speaking of her departure from TFL Banks said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, ‘This is a very difficult decision, but necessary. I will be devoting more time to my new, growing cosmetics company, TYRA Beauty, which is expanding faster than anticipated, as well as overseeing my company’s other entertainment ventures. I will however continue to support the growth and success of ‘FABLife’ and greatly admire my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show.’
Banks is said to stay on as an executive producer for the remainder of the year and will be on the show two to three times per week through the end of 2015, with occasional appearances through the end of the season. At present there are no plans to replace Banks. Co-hosts model Chrissy Teigen, fashion editor Joe Zee, interior designer Lauren Makk and YouTube star Leah Ashley all plan to stay on. Banks is also leaving America’s Next Top Model which is set to wrap up in December.
