Last Friday America’s Next Top Model fans were shocked after Tyra Banks fired mainstay judges, J. Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker.

Tyra explains why she had to do  it,  Tyra tells Access Hollywood,

“We reached a point where we feel the show needs a new boost.”

“It’s very difficult because I love my guys, they’re my guys. They’ve been there since the beginning of the show.”

“My partner Ken Mok and I have projects we’re developing, and we’re a family, it doesn’t end.”
