Tyra Banks had some sobering “Tyra Mail” for fans Wednesday night when she announced that after 22 cycles, America’s Next Top Model would be coming to an end.
“Thinking #ANTM #cycle22 should be our last cycle. Yeah, I truly believe it’s time,” she wrote. “Our diehard fans know we’ve expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around the globe and back again. Yeah, it’s time. It really is.”
She ended with a reminder to fans to keep being fierce. “May your photos (and selfies) be forever fierce. May you always find your light. And may you werk hallways like runways. Always remember, you are beautiful & BOOTYful. And please, keep on Smizing each and every day for TyTy.”
