Angelea's disqualification

Following the finale, reports began to speculate regarding the disqualification of Angelea Preston. Due to the bizarre circumstances surrounding the event, including the re-shooting of the final panel/winner reveal, many people began to speculate that Preston had been originally named the winner prior to her disqualification. Popular theories that circulated on social media during the months following the finale included speculation that Angelea had broken contract by revealing her win on social media, that she was pregnant, or dealing with substance abuse issues. In January 2013, Angelea confirmed the reports by announcing that she had indeed won the competition prior to being stripped of the title, though she did not specify why. Tyra Banks did not comment on the situation. In September 2014, Angelea revealed that the reason she was stripped of the title was because she had been working as an escort prior to participating in ''America's Next Top Model''. She said the producers had been made aware of this before the filming of cycle 17, but decided to disqualify her only after she had already won the title. She is now filing a lawsuit against the producers, the network, and the studios due to breach of contract for $3,000,000 in damages. Other allegations in the lawsuit included that the show violated fair labor practices by forcing her and other contestants to work 16-hour days, sometimes without a meal break, keeping the contestants in isolation for five to six hours at a time, without food or water. Additionally, she alleged that she wasn't paid a legal hourly wage for her work, nor overtime wages. She also claimed that show staff failed to provide her with proper medical attention when she suffered a panic attack during filming.
