Vogue magazine contributing editor Andre Leon Talley has quit his role as a judge on supermodel Tyra Banks’ show “America’s Next Top Model.”
Banks recruited Talley to join the series’ judging panel last year, but he has now stepped down from the job after four cycles.
Talley insists rumors of a rift between himself and Tyra Banks are unfounded and they “remain friends”, according to the New York Post.
He adds, “It’s all good in the neighborhood. I had a fabulous time. It was a mutual agreement. There is no unhappiness at all.”
According to the Post, Andre Leon Talley will be replaced by fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone.
Cutrone has appeared on MTV reality dramas “The Hills” and “The City”. After those successful stints, Kelly was given her own show, “Kell on Earth”, which appeared in Spring 2010 on Bravo. In November of 2010, Kelly signed on as a special contributor to the Dr. Phil show where she “lends her no-nonsense approach to stories centered primarily on 20-something generational topics as well as issues that motivate young girls to gain their independence, such as anti-bullying, weight-control and social skills.”
