And I want you to take this opportunity and run with it.
And that's what Anjali did.
and she won the whole season.
Somewhere after her win, other execs at A&TM got wind of what happened to Anjali.
So they stripped her win, sent her home with like $300, you know, money to get a ticket home, and that was it.
They filmed a whole new win, flew in the other two contestants who were in the top three,
filmed a whole new final, crowned Lisa DeMotto the winner.
And there was nothing Angelique could do about it.
She tried to sue years later, but she signed that contract.
And that contract, I mean, there was a clause in there that said that the models couldn't talk about the show, right?
And they were told if they did, they would be hit with a $5 million fine.
Now put that in context.
You're talking about people who just got out of high school, right?
They are in college.
They don't have $5 million.
One contestant told us that in their orientation meeting, they were told that if you do talk about this show and what happens behind the scenes of this show, we're going to go after you, your kids, and your kids' kids' wages until we get our $5 million back.
She says this is what they were told.
Why that's important is because
The models were not able to talk about what was happening in the behind the scenes.
They couldn't say, yeah, I felt manipulated.
