Should Miss USA lose her crown?

Ok I am sure someone has heard about the Miss USA scandal, and I couldn't be more upset.

She clearly violated the pageants strict rules, and she is also being accused of taking out a 18-year-old Miss Teen USA at clubs and drinking underage.

Personally, I don't see any proof, and I am wondering in this age of camera phones and such, that why weren't pictures taken? However, if this is all true I think both Miss USA Tara Conner and Miss Teen USA Katie Blair should be dethroned.

Miss Universe isn't in the country currently, so there have been no reports of her doing anything bad.

Your views?

I think that she should be discrowned because she is representing the united states. She is not setting a good example to the younger generation.

New Information on Kentucky's Miss USA
Posted: 7:15 PM Dec 18, 2006
Last Updated: 8:47 PM Dec 18, 2006

New York newspapers continue to report on what Tara Conner allegedly did to upset pageant organizers. From wild partying, to alleged drug use and even kissing Miss Teen USA in public ... it could all cost Conner her crown.

There's an announcement planned for tomorrow in New York.

< = =text/>if (self['plpm'] && plpm['Mid-Story Ad']) document.write('
');if (self['plpm'] && plpm['Mid-Story Ad']){ document.write(plpm['Mid-Story Ad']);} else { if(self['plurp'] && plurp['97']){} else {document.write(''); } }if (self['plpm'] && plpm['Mid-Story Ad']) document.write('
');

For now, Conner is reportedly back in Kentucky at her mother's home in Russell Springs.

Tara Conner is 21-years-old today and if reports are true, the former small town beauty queen turned Miss USA is no longer living her fairy tale, lavish lifestyle in the Big Apple. Instead she could be back home, possibly even here at her mother's house.

"I think we should still love her and support her," photographer, Linda McGowan said.

New York press is reporting that Conner tested positive for cocaine and engaged in wild partying.

But Conner's friends like McGowan said she never believes everything she hears.

"I would just like to hear the other side of the story. I mean all we've heard is the bad," McGowan said.

None of the neighbors have seen Conner, but several New York newspapers are reporting that Donald Trump told Conner to leave her apartment and that she came home over the weekend. Conner's aunt wouldn't comment on where Conner is and no one was home at her mother's house.

Penny Rizenberg became friends with Conner when the then Miss Kentucky spoke to some children at a Somerset Church. She believes Conner has fallen into temptation, but believes Conner can climb her way out.

"And if this does come down to her worst nightmare, then don't give up. God can take it and turn it around for good and give her a platform for something even greater than Miss USA," said Rizenberg. "I mean if she did do some of this stuff, she needs help. She needs our love and support."

And while the lewd behavior has not been confirmed by pageant officials, many here say they're already ready to forgive.

Donald Trump has scheduled a news conference for 10 a.m. Tuesday morning in which he is expected to reveal more of what has happened with Conner.

Women who have spent most of their lives obsessing about being judged for thier looks by complete stangers have taken to drinking. How shocking?

LoL Abhijit ji, But the thing is so many Miss USA have reigned before, and so many, almost all have displayed class and self-discipline. And before they enter the contest, and soon as they win, they SIGN a contract that states what they can and cannot do, it is not as if she wasn't aware. It is a prestigious title and she didn't think how many women would want to be in her position (ahem😳) The job itself isn't veru hard, just demanding, making appearances, going to charities, Miss USA basically stands for whats good in an American women.😊

I am no Donald Trump but I can declare you miss DM if that would please you. All you have to do is wave your hand short -short-long.
BTW Trump, ever the businessman, has let it slide and like a good Rajashri Production, Miss USA has apologized, the story has ended with a group photo-op and the credits are rolling as I type this.

LoL Miss DM, that would be cool lol.😳

I just the Miss USA press conference live, and saw that Donald Trump gave Tara Conner a second chance. I was mad at first, because she broke the rules, but I realized that it would benefit the pageant, and probably Tara herself, she isn't a bad person, but she did make a mistake. Any of us would want a second chance, and Miss USA is no exception. Having her go into rehab is a good thing, and hopefully inspires other people to do the same if they have a substance abuse problem.🤢

Awww thank you very much hunni😃. Glad to be here.😳

As for beauty pageants, they aren't bad, but sometimes the wrong people win. Which isn't fair because what the pageants itself stands for is the classic American woman with good qualities, hence which is why I am upset with the way Tara Conner handled her resposibility. Many past USA winners are classy elegant winners, but I feel Miss Tara Conner tarnished the image of the pageant, which isn't helpful because it gives pageants a bad name.
