Tyra Banks Fires ‘Next Top Model’ Stalwarts

Tyra Banks is mixing things up at America’s Next Top Model.

On Thursday, she confirmed on Twitter that longtime co-stars fashion photographer Nigel Barker, 39; runway coach J. Alexander, 53, and creative director Jay Manuel, 39, are leaving the show come fall.

“Fierce & love 2 my @NigelBarker, @MrJayManuel & Miss J. #ANTM turned us in2 a family. Excited for what the future holds for us,” so the model wrote to address the departures.

The New York Post reports that the three, who have been with the show since 2003, were told yesterday their contracts were not being renewed.

Barker didn’t appear to have any hard feelings, as he tweeted back to Tyra: “Best of luck with cycle 19, It has been a pleasure working with you the past 8 years. Much love Nigel.”
