There was language in there about producers reserving the right to strip a winner of their title or the prizes.
And we saw that happen with Anjali Preston, who was the original winner of All Stars Cycle 17.
Her win was stripped, and it was perfectly legal.
Absolutely.
It's absolutely.
That's exactly what happened.
So Anjali was on a previous season before All Stars.
And once she left the show, she said she did not get any work whatsoever.
Anjali got an Angry Black Girl edit on her season.
So that also had something to do with it.
And so she eventually got involved with this man who essentially, he trafficked her.
Like, there's no other way to put it.
She was taken to different states when she wanted to leave.
He didn't allow her to leave.
Around the time that she was able to get away, she was able to get away with the help of some friends.
She got a call from A&TM to do the All-Star season.
She comes on, she does All-Stars.
Now, according to Anjali, she had a conversation with the casting director, Michelle Mock, in which Michelle Mock acknowledged knowing about her being trafficked and said something along the lines of, I just want you to take this opportunity.
I know what happened.
It's going to stay between us.
