Tyra Banks Hostile 'FABLife' Environment Makes 'ANTM' Star Quit After Two Months

Tyra Banks might have shocked the world when she announced that she would be leaving her brand-new series FABLife after only being a part of it for the last two months. However, while the former ANTM host announced that her exit was so that she could focus on her cosmetic brand, it is now being revealed that this might not have been the whole truth. In fact, it is being speculated that there might have been some tension behind the scenes of the series.

We previously reported that the 41-year-old fashion guru explained in a statement that she was leaving the show to focus on other projects, saying, she wanted to devote "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."

However, Radar Online is reporting that this might not be the case, saying, "The attitudes at FABLife were really mean toward Tyra."

"One of the production staff would tell people that they needed to 'laugh at her jokes even when she's not funny,' and not in a nice way. It seemed like a toxic place for her to work."

While Tyra previously dismissed rumors saying that there was tension between her and fellow panelist, Chrissy Teigen, Radar is insinuating that some tension could have existed between the stars that could have contributed to Banks' exit.

"Tyra never even looked at Chrissy when they weren't filming," an insider explained to the site. "The vibe on set wasn't friendly at all. It was tense.

"Everyone seemed to undermine Tyra on her own show," the source continued.

However, in her statement, via Variety, Banks explained that she had nothing but respect for the co-stars she was leaving behind, saying she, "greatly admire[s] my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show."
