"That didn&amp;apos;t last long!\r\nTwo months after making her debut as a trainer on The Biggest Loser, tennis pro Anna Kournikova is stepping down from the popular NBC series.\r\n\r\nKournikova, 30, confirmed in a statement to Us Weekly Monday that she will not be returning for the show&amp;apos;s 13th season.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I enjoyed my time on the Biggest Loser ranch. Although I will not be returning as a full time trainer on season 13, I will always be a part of The Biggest Loser family and my commitment to bettering lives through health and fitness will continue,&amp;quot; Kournikova told Us.\r\n\r\nReplacing Jillian Michaels for season 12, Kournikova reportedly made waves behind the scenes. A show source cited by The Hollywood Reporter (which first broke the news of her exit) called the trainer &amp;quot;a nightmare&amp;quot; and argued that she did not sympathize with her overweight clientele.\r\n&amp;quot;It wasn&amp;apos;t the right fit for her,&amp;quot; a Biggest Loser insider confirmed to Us. &amp;quot;[Her exit] was a mutual decision.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
