Tyra Banks was too fierce for the "FABLife," as TMZ is reporting that Banks has left the talk show after only two months.

Banks is an executive producer for the show, which also features model Chrissy Teigen, editor in chief of Yahoo Style Joe Zee, home expert Lauren Makk and YouTube star Leah Ashley.

"This is a very difficult decision, but necessary," said a rep for Banks in statement to The Huffington Post.

Tyra, via her rep, sent the following statement: "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."

Banks is already looking for people to come work for her beauty startup, according to her Twitter.

The announcement comes less than a month after the CW canceled Banks' long-running "America's Next Top Model" after 22 seasons.

Luckily, her rep confirmed that Banks is still working on "Life-Size 2" with the Disney Channel.

"FABLife" has yet to make a statement regarding Banks' departure, so we're just going to pretend they said this:
