Tyra Banxxx announced Friday she is no longer a contract girl for Jill Kelly Productions.
Tyra signed with JKP in November, and starred in titles such as Tyra's Little Secrets and Tyra's Runway Rendezvous and Boned. She was also a Trophy Girl at the 2005 AVN Awards.
In a statement, she said, "I am officially free from JKP. I had to wait and see what was really going on. When I realized that Jill was not returning, and that the company was obviously not the same company I signed with, I knew it was time to leave. If you do not have Jill Kelly, what do you have?
"... I met a lot of great people at JKP and I have the utmost respect for Jill. She is an extremely smart woman who I admire for her strength and professionalism. People with no knowledge or respect for the industry are what destroyed JKP. I am glad that the industry as a whole realizes that Jill was not the bad guy. She was what held the company together. All of the girls only stayed on as long as they did out of loyalty to her.”
She added, "I look forward to working with some new talent, new directors and possibly another contract down the road. I am working on my website, totallytyra.com and getting myself working again. I can't wait to start shooting again."
