Tyra praised Gabrielle for being “vulnerable” in the statements she made after leaving America’s Got Talent.

“What I love about what she did is [that] she was very vulnerable. I saw some tweets and I thought it was maybe beautiful, how she wasn’t speaking in anger. She’s speaking in pain, like I’m trying to get through this and I’m crying,” Tyra told Yahoo.
