Tyra Banks Quits 'Fab Life' After Only Three Months, Citing Scheduling Conflicts

After only three months of the new daytime talk show, Fab Life, Tyra Banks has quit the show over scheduling conflicts.

Shortly after announcing the end of America's Next Top Model to pursue her new endeavor back on daytime television, Bankable Productions entrepreneur, Tyra Banks, has quit her new talk show, FabLife. According to USA Today, the former super model has decided to step away from her role as co-host on the ABC daytime talk show to fully focus on her cosmetics line, Tyra Beauty.

According to the site, Banks explained in an interview how the schedule for the show just wasn't working for her, as she tried to do both -- run her cosmetics company successfully and be a part of the show. "If I stepped away (from entertainment) for five years to start (Tyra Beauty) I need to focus on this, and not run my company in emails and in quick meetings between shows of FABLife," she told USA Today. "And I made that decision."

Banks co-hosted the show with a panel of other host including, Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Lauren Makk and Leah Ashley. Though she has stepped away from her role as host, she will maintain her position as executive producer for the show through December according to Entertainment Weekly. The site reports that there are no plans to replace Banks at this time .

It was just a short time ago (August), that the former Tyra Banks Show host announced that she would be returning back to daytime TV under new conditions. Deadline reported that Banks was pulled back in to the idea of a new talk show by ABC Daytime and syndicated programming EVP Lisa Hackner, who she had worked with in the past. Banks reportedly accepted on the terms that she would not be solely responsible for hosting the show but would have a panel of other host with her to also contribute. "It's nice to have a family and less stress," Banks reportedly stated of having her panel of co-hosts by her side.

Although Banks is leaving her position behind, she stated that she will continue to support the growth of the show and her fellow co-host. "[I] greatly admire my fellow co-hosts and the talented production team behind the show," she said in a statement released on Friday Nov. 20, according to US Weekly.
