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.
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?
