Former 'America's Next Top Model' contestant Angelea Preston has sued Tyra Banks for 3 million dollars for wrongfully disqualifying her because of her escort past.

Preston has filed legal documents in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that she originally won the reality show's season 17 and was entitled to a 100,000 dollars contract with CoverGirl and a spread in Vogue Italia, People Magazine reported.

Lisa D'Amato was ultimately named the winner after it was discovered that Preston had worked as an escort.

Preston is seeking 3 million dollars for damages in the suit, which include breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress and failure to provide meal and rest breaks during filming for the contestants.
