I am less surprised that this happened and more that it hadn't happened sooner.

I don't know if I'd call it a scandal, these women are stepping down because they feel the pressure of the role is too much.
I mean, if it's for their own mental well-being, good for them.
Scandal implies something underhanded.

Well, if you want scandal I heard the former owner of the Miss Teen USA pageant openly brag on Howard Stern that he liked to burst into the dressing rooms to get an eyeful. Remember, these were TEENAGERS he was perving on, but don’t worry, he joked about his obligation to sleep with the contestants of Miss USA, which he also owned.

What about the $1.98 Beauty Show? Surely there were some tales to tell there.

Why don't they just scrap this whole concept altogeter? Beauty pagents need to be a thing of the past.

That surprised me too. I forgot Miss America was even a thing until I found out the lady that won "Miss Congeniality" in the pageant a few years ago went to my high school.

Scandal implies something underhanded. I mean, did you read the article? Miss Teen USA's mother said her daughter was "abused, bullied and cornered". There's also talk of toxic work environments and sexual harassment. It sounds underhanded to me. |

I hate that I'm so cynical. Because my first thought when reading your post was, "Another day, another headline about somebody being an asshole. Who is it this time?"

I'm twice her age so I didn't even know she existed until she was invited to be the grand marshal of my neighborhood's Memorial Day parade. I did meet her after the parade, though, and found her to be quite friendly.
