'Project Runway' judge Nina Garcia reportedly parted ways with Elle magazine where she worked as the fashion director since 2000.
Neither Garcia nor the magazine have commented, although conflicting reports have stated that Garcia was fired.
The news comes just days after the production company for 'Project Runway' announced the show was changing stations from Bravo TV to Lifetime.
Bravo and NBC Universal filed a breach of contract with Harvey and Bob Weinstein and their namesake company, which sold the series to Bravo in 2003. NBC Universal claimed they had rights to future seasons and claimed Weinstein Co. sealed a deal with Lifetime before allowing Bravo the chance to make a matching offer.
"NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program," the corporation said in a 13-page lawsuit. They called Weinstein Co.'s five-year deal with Lifetime an "invalid agreement."
Weinstein Co. and Lifetime, meanwhile, also issued a statement declaring that NBC Universal "declin[ed] to compete for the right to have 'Project Runway.'"
"We believe this lawsuit is without merit," said David Boies, an attorney for the Weinstein Co., in a statement.
According to a Lifetime spokesperson, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are on board, but Nina Garcia and fellow judge Michael Kors have yet to sign contracts. In the Lifetime press release, Klum was quoted as saying "fashion is about change," and Gunn added "Lifetime and I will definitely 'make it work' together."
