So when you put that in context, they made absolutely nothing like...
So that stuff was standard for reality shows of the time, right?
But also, A&TM owned the rights to these model stories within the A&TM universe, and that meant that they could not benefit or profit from being on A&TM, right?
So as one model I spoke to broke it down, you couldn't have a YouTube channel, you couldn't write a book.
Once you left that show, A&TM could continue to use your image in whatever way they wanted to tell whatever story they wanted.
And that's actually in the contract that A&TM could tell your story in a way that's true or not.
And you couldn't do anything about it.
And they could use your image and play clips the next season.
There's some really gross language about being able to use footage of the contestant's
whether they are clothed or unclothed, and whether or not they knew the footage existed.
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.
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.
