According to a joint statement, Medina insisted that while his Handprint Entertainment will no longer be taking care of Banks' career, he was looking forward to future ventures with her.

"Tyra Banks is a highly regarded artist, entrepreneur and producer, and I respect her vision for developing her own bankable brand. Tyra and Handprint Entertainment look forward to the opportunity to work together on existing or new ventures. 'This is a great thing for everyone involved'," New York Daily News quoted Medina, as saying.

Meanwhile according to a source at TelePictures, Banks was tired of Medina's suggestions and demands.

However, TelePictures rep dismissed these reports.

"We have a good relationship with Benny, and we appreciate his contributions to the show. He will continue as an executive consultant on the show," the rep said.

Rumours are also rife that Banks newfound beau investment manager John Utendahl might have suggested for the break up, her pal has denied the speculations.

"John had nothing to do with this," the pal said. (ANI)
