Nov 20, 2015

Tyra Banks is quitting FABLife.

According to a statement given to The Hollywood Reporter, Banks has decided that she wants to spend her time focusing more on her cosmetic line, and in order to better balance her time, she has decided to cut daytime talk show hosting out of her life.

“This is a very difficult decision, but necessary,” she said.

She later added, “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.”

The announcement is sad for those who were excited to see her return to daytime, but it is not necessarily surprising, considering the fact that she said this summer during a Television Critics Association press tour that her life had become too hectic.

“It just wasn’t a healthy thing for me,” she said at TCA. “At that time in my career, I was probably the most successful, lucrative and [relevant] … and the most unhappy. And so when [The Tyra Banks Show] ended, I was like, ‘I’m done with talk. I’m going to hunker down, go to business school, and really focus on the business side of my career.’ “
