Lisa D'Amato may have been the winner of America's Next Top Model: All-Stars, but it’s Angelea Preston stealing the spotlight after the season wrapped with a shocking finale.

E! News:

Reporter: “It was down to three Wednesday night with Allison Harvard, Lisa D’Amato and Angelea Preston each hoping for the crown.”
Preston: “I just dont want my nerves to get the best of me. I’m not even doing this for me, this isn’t about me anymore. And I know this will change my life for the better.”
Reporter: “After the New York native struts her stuff in Greece, Tyra and the rest of the panel suddenly say, she’s out.”

 

CW:
Tyra: “We’re here for a special finale that is being conducted under unusual circumstances.”
Nigel: “Yep, it turns out that after shooting was wrapped, our production team and the network learned information form Angelea that disqualifies here from the competition.”

Many considered Preston to be the “obvious front runner” and were shocked when the network repeatedly refused to elaborate on the bait and switch finale.

“Viewers were left completely stumped when Angelea was suddenly disqualified without any explanation. But rumor has it, Angelea was the original winner and after the show wrapped she reportedly was bragging about winning the competition on her Facebook page... Which totally violates the rules, especially since the finale hadn’t even aired yet.”

Even if the rumors are true, fans are having a hard time defending Preston. One blogger for Stylite shares her thoughts on the Facebook drama.

“Most reality shows have some serious non-disclosure contracts, so that definitely fits. In which case: what was Angelea thinking?”


And, not one to shy away from televised drama, Janice Dickinson jumped in the ring to add her two cents, saying-- she left the show after finding out the whole thing is rigged anyway.

“There was a way that I experiences being on that show, being conned, thinking that I was actually helping judge a TV franchise, that my say had any input, but it really didn’t. Covergirl are the people who choose the models.”

A representative for Preston announced to Reality TV World-- fans may get an answer about the whole thing sooner than they think.

“Angela Preston is taking a stand in a tell-all press conference where she will explain what really happened leading up to her sudden disappearance”
 

While not confirmed, reports indicate that press conference will happen this weekend in New York City.
