Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port weren't fired by Teen Vogue

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port weren't fired by Teen Vogue, despite recent reports to the contrary.

"I just thought it was time for them to try something new," Editor-In-Chief Amy Astley said at the Ralph Lauren fall fashion show this morning. "An internship is a short thing, and I just felt it was time for them to move on a little bit."

It had previously been reported that the Condé Nast-owned publication decided to part ways with the MTV reality show because of the girls' wild lifestyles of clubbing, making out and feuding.

"I think that’s really why Teen Vogue had had their moment with them — it went into another zone," their boss, editor Lisa Love, told America's Us weekly magazine.

Asked if the show is scripted, Love replied, "I think why they say all that is because there’s so much editing.

"They shoot reality and somehow it’s changed in the editing room to appeal to things, I don’t know," she said. "I’ve never watched the show.

"They were great interns in the beginning," Love added of Conrad and Port, "and then it’s time for interns to go some place else, right?"
