Who is asked to leave project runway

In the end, Kenneth ran off crying, while Meg stormed off set demanding producers take her mic off and, ultimately, Meg decided it was better for her mental health that she leave the competition entirely.

It really blindsided me, and my brain just quit. I had the onset of a panic attack. My gut instinct was, you know, fight or flight mode, and I just left. Meg also stated, "I believe I did the right thing by sticking up for myself. Was I bitchy about it?

Tim Gunn may have confirmed something Project Runway fans have been pondering for months now. In a letter the Making the Cut co-creator and host penned to his longtime "TV wife" Heidi Klum published by Good Housekeeping , the fashion guru dropped a brow-raising factoid about the origins of Project Runway. Gunn, who served as a mentor to contestants on the fashion design competition series that ran on both Bravo and Lifetime, wrote about how nervous he was when he came aboard the show for its first season and how Klum "wrapped an arm" around him for comfort.
