Klum revealed feelings of exhaustion and guilt during the show's early seasons, as she struggled to find a balance between work and family life.
The model acknowledged past criticisms of the show, including its portrayal of beauty standards, but emphasized its recent push for diversity by featuring plus-size, older, and transgender models.
Klum is stepping away from her role as a judge on 'America's Got Talent' after 11 seasons, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts with other commitments like 'Germany's Next Topmodel' and her return to 'Project Runway.'
