Here's what Tyra Banks had to say about her departure from the famed reality Tv dance competition series

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Tyra revealed that she was leaving because she wanted to put more of her focus on her business and entrepreneurship.

"I feel it's really time for me to focus on my business and my entrepreneurship, and also producing more TV — but behind the scenes. I think it's time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor. ... from the ballroom to the boardroom!"

When asked for clarity if she was indeed leaving, Tyra said:

"Don't you think it's time? Yeah, I think it's time. I'm an entrepreneur at heart. ... I think my heart, my soul, is into my business, it's also into producing new TV. ... But, I really, really want to focus on my business, and you can't do that hosting a show."

Apart from being a host on the show, Tyra also serves as one of the executive producers on Dancing With The Stars, which airs only on Disney+. Apart from her interview with TMZ, there has been no other direct or official confirmation from Tyra or her representatives.

Tyra recently launched her ice cream brand, called SMiZE & Dream. She is also known for her appearances on America's Top Model and a brief stint as the host of America's Got Talent.
