Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel, and J. Alexander fired from Top Model

Hello, gorgeous ones! While I have never been a fan of this show, mostly because Tyra Banks is a monster (gorgeous...but a monster), but I was very surprised to hear that longtime Top Model judges Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander have all been fired from the long running show. You wonder if there was some backstage drama going on, or if maybe their contracts were just up and the show's producers just wanted it to go in a different direction. Supposedly they want to broaden their "social media" connections. Also, in the article I was reading, Top Model claim that they want to work with the trio in the future...hmmm...HMMMM
