Robin just admitted on the stand that she had over 1,000 phone calls with Mr. Straub, and that they had multiple meetings each month.

• And for some reason the fact that Robin made a $250 "donation" in November of 2022 that demonstrated to them that she was legit?? Give me a break. All Shantel did was show us all how incompetent and/or negligent she and that entire team were. (NT) -- No name, 10:32:19 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/134.204.27.246)
• Actually, she said she wouldn’t be surprised if it was over 1000 phone calls when the lawyer stated that number. Chantelle explained that the organization has been in financial distress for many many years, but still manages to hold the competition, hence the reason that the financial viability portion of it was a very small part (NT) -- No name, 10:38:49 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/74.122.140.14)
• Slippery question. The number of calls placed by Glenn does not equate to number of conversations. He could have called 20 times a day but only spoke once. (NT) -- No name, 10:47:09 07/18/24 Thu (c-73-74-207-142.hsd1.il.comcast.net/73.74.207.142)
• Robin didn’t make that claim. This trial is spilling all the tea. Robin’s lack of liquid funds; Shantel’s insistence two reasons they picked Robin was 1) she would maintain scholarships and 2) maintain judging standards. She has done neither. If you aren’t on, please join (NT) -- No name, 10:50:34 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/38.98.217.147)
  • What did Robin not claim? The "donation" and the supporting exhibit were shown/discussed with Shantel. (NT) -- No name, 11:41:37 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/148.173.101.242)
• Well now they're reading Robin's texts to Glenn where she tells Glenn that she'd like for him to meet with Shantel...but I thought he had nothing to do with anything... Robin? Robin? Oh yeah, she's full of sh*t. (NT) -- No name, 11:10:11 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/148.173.101.242)
• Robin just stated that Glenn attended the Moss America Pageant at the Mohegan with her before the purchase. She also asked Shantel if she wanted to meet the “silent partner.” She also shared she and Glenn have been friends for years (NT) -- No name, 11:18:41 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.115.163.7)
• Robin is toast. She keeps asserting that she had a “line of credit” for 4 million dollars, and yet there is no document that says that. (NT) -- No name, 11:25:49 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.115.163.7)
• They presented a text message from Robin to Glenn asking for a raise from him. She also stated that she had to run all legal issues for Miss America by Glenn. She also submitted travel expenses for Glenn to pay. (NT) -- No name, 11:28:18 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.115.163.7)
• Did Robin just insult the judge?? She just said, "I believe that's privileged. But privilege doesn't seem to weigh in the courts anymore". Nice move, Robin!! (NT) -- No name, 11:38:56 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/148.173.101.242)
  • That’s exactly what she said! (NT) -- No name, 11:40:12 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.115.163.7)
• I still do not understand how Robin would have any right to anything other than conceivably fair back wages. If you do no have money, ya can’t buy stuff. If it’s someone else’s money then - it’s not yours. The stiff they buy from s not yours unless you have an agreement that SAYS it’s yours. There is no such agreement. This to me is very similar to squatters rights - and all of the angst over it today simply because - someone moves into your house so “now it’s mine.” No, it is not. We may have trouble throwing you out on your as* but - it’s not yours and you’re merely biding your time.

• No Robin, all these people are watching because we know YOU are full of crap. You've been a horrible "leader" and are and HAVE RUINED Miss America. We aren't affiliated with Glenn - we have our own brains and can think for ourselves. No, we're here because of your failed "leadership". We're watching the proceedings anonymously because we all know that YOU will retaliate if you know our identities. You've already shown what happens if states don't do what you dictate they do - even within their own state leadership. (NT) -- No name, 11:45:46 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/148.173.101.242)
• Robin approached this as a “Friendship Deal.” She just became buddies with a really rich dude and just milked his money for all it is worth. (NT) -- No name, 11:45:57 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.115.163.7)

I do feel bad that Robin basically got scammed in this whole thing. I think she genuinely thought she was/is the owner. But she didn’t have the money and needed Glenn. I’m not sure why a grown adult would think that a verbal business deal would be successful in the long run, especially if you Googled him and saw his track record.

My personal leaning is that they have joint ownership. If I were the judge, I’d give them each 50/50 ownership. I know that wouldn’t go well. The only thing they would be able to do would be to sell, like you might do in a divorce.

Tomorrow Shantel takes the stand at 9:30am ET. Same Zoom info:

• I do not know where the narrative got started in all this, that Glenn Straub is anything but what years of public records say he is. Whether or not you support Robin or not, the long term solution is not having a Straub in charge. Robin seems to be much more the victim than the offender here.

  • Robin has known Glenn for years. He was no stranger to her. Who among us wouldn’t clearly access a business transaction before jumping into it? No one. Robin was not scammed. She saw an opportunity to make money and used Glenn’s cash (and bragged to all of us about having enough cash to run MAO for 100 more years). Her actions follow what she has done through all her many careers (NT) -- No name, 20:29:51 07/17/24 Wed (NoHost/38.98.217.147)

  • Poor Robin...my BUTT. She's no victim AT ALL. And if Glenn is so bad, then I would question her judgement. If he's SO bad then her lack of judgement put everyone in a bad spot. So shame on that nasty, vindictive, lying, duplicitous, smug, bitch. (NT) -- No name, 22:46:48 07/17/24 Wed (NoHost/134.204.27.246)

• Just curious as to why 50/50? Do not care either way as my child aged out already and I do not volunteer anymore. But she has not invested any money or even paid taxes ( according to testimony). How would someone without any investment get 50%? (NT) -- The whole thing seems strange and I do not know how Miss America was legally sold., 09:30:39 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/107.116.79.123)
• 50/50...that's just silly. Why don't you go buy a house, I'll claim I actually bought it using your money, then we can fight about it, and then a judge will tell you to just give me half. Does that sound fair to you?? (NT) -- No name, 10:10:55 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/148.173.101.242)

    • Me too! (NT) -- No name, 11:25:14 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/12.233.34.186)
• Well it’s clear now why Shantal drove MAO into the ground and “Sold” it to grifters…. I’ve never seen someone so defensive of her failure!!!! She’s clearly trying to cover up her disastrous reign as CEO. She couldn’t even complete a basic sale of a non profit with proper due diligence and contracts. (NT) -- No name, 10:21:38 07/18/24 Thu (c-73-56-165-221.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/73.56.165.221)
  • What Shantel isn’t telling you that a few of MAO’s earlier suitors were excellent choices, but were turned down because they wouldn’t let Shantel continue to run it. Finally when Robin came along the BoD stepped in and said Enough Shantel (NT) -- No name, 11:05:01 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/38.98.217.147)
    • I can name 10 people who would have jumped at the chance to save Miss America, either individually or collectively. These people would not agree to Shantel's demands. Somehow, Robin entered the picture with promises that she could not prove and Shantel, who IMO was exhausted with all the MAO troubles, convinced the board that Robin was the answer. This was an emotional decision, not a business one. Everyone who was involved in this "sale" should be honest with the volunteers across the country, not to mention all the contestants who participated in good faith. There is so much to this story and we are getting a glimpse at the underbelly and it isn't pretty. (NT) -- No name, 11:40:22 07/18/24 Thu (NoHost/50.86.219.105)

I spoke to Robyn yesterday and she said that anyone who has experienced any bullying in the org, especially in Pennsylvania, should reach out to her personally. Her social media is public so other victims can contact her, and she is keeping all names anonymous unless otherwise agreed to beforehand. My daughter came forward to her back in March and she still hasn’t shared her name, or the names of any other victims. Even the other girl who spoke out in this article still was able to remain anonymous after withdrawing from the organization.

• One, who spoke to DailyMail.com on condition of anonymity, has resigned her title in protest saying she cannot be part of an organization that fails to act on such behavior. This former teen pageant titleholder recalled one incident in which Vespico 'hit me as hard as she could in the arm and stood up in the restaurant with her crown on and started screaming at me and calling me all sort of vile names'.

        • It’s all over TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit! Especially the TikTok video posted by @yourfinestpardon with over 20k views and The Daily Mail’s TikTok with over 1M views. I also saw comments on the Miss PA social media pages and the local pageant social media pages but those comments keep getting deleted. I have screenshots but I don’t know how to post those here.

            • I’m not sure about the others. I’m just kind of in shock and awe. It’s the PA org that needs to be called out for allowing any of this to take place. In my opinion, it never should have gotten to the point where police and a court order needed to be put in place. Like I said, just all around shock.

              • Frankly, I think it's the Miss PA Organization that's disparaging the MAO brand in this case. Their license should be yanked ASAP and the MAO overall needs to get their pants sued off them for causing the young ladies competing undue stress and putting them in danger (NT) -- No name, 10:51:06 07/13/24 Sat (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)

• Victoria's mom has become a Facebook keyboard warrior, is in complete denial and talking about her lawyers. This mom needs to take a hard look in the mirror on how she raised her bully daughter. Her daughter has never been held accountable abd they think they can get away with anything because they have rich family members. The situation is appalling.

  • Kelly Norton Vespico's post: I Will Not Stay Silent Anymore There is a story going around on social media about my daughter that is absolutely false. The story is filled with lies and terrible accusations. My daughter is being accused of things she did not do and would never do. There is currently an ongoing police investigation into this matter. I’m hopeful the truth will be revealed soon, and the actual perpetrator will be brought to justice. Social media can be a wonderful tool, but it can also be an evil one. People who have never meet my daughter or had a conversation with her have made awful disgusting comments and threats. This story has grown and morphed in so many ways it is difficult to keep track of. That I will leave to the lawyers. Until then, I appreciate all the numerous people who have reached out in support of my daughter. I am very proud of her. This is a difficult time, but she is a strong young woman and she will rise through this on TOP! -- No name, 17:30:28 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/194.5.214.51)

      • The real story is that a judge in DC found Victoria responsible for 15+ instances of terroristic threats and provided Robyn K with a 2 year restraining order. (NT) -- No name, 20:43:42 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/128.14.201.102)

    • I'm sorry, what? I haven't seen any posts threatening to kill Victoria and her family or to burn her house down. It does NOT go both ways. We have this obsession in this country to never single one side out, but according to a JUDGE, this young lady sent death threats to her rival. That is not a "both ways" thing. Not in the least. And saying it is is minimizing extremely pathologic behavior (NT) -- No name, 03:06:54 07/14/24 Sun (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
• How has the Miss PA org not yet made a statement or removed this titleholder??? I genuinely don’t understand. That board needs to take a look at themselves in the mirror before they lose everything. This is just so awful. I can’t believe how the Miss America org has responded. I read those articles and watched that video from before. They literally just blame Robyn for speaking up. What happened to supporting the young women of this org? And what happened to the anti-bullying clause in the contract? Especially with a blatant example like this! (NT) -- No name, 19:18:19 07/16/24 Tue (vmi1404265.contaboserver.net/154.12.233.81)
• Robyn K just posted this on Facebook if anyone knows anyone who’d like to speak out! ————- “ Any young woman who would like to give a statement to the media and remain anonymous please let me know! In Touch Weekly, People Magazine, The Daily Mail, and CBS are looking to do follow ups and are willing to speak to anyone who would like to remain anonymous with their experiences with bullying in the Miss America Org. Pre-written statements are 100% acceptable, as are anonymous interviews. Everyone is working hard to keep the privacy of the victims as confidential as possible!” (NT) -- No name, 19:47:46 07/16/24 Tue (NoHost/45.250.25.175)
  • Just to clarify, the victim in the PA case, Robyn Kass-Gerji is the person seeking other victims. It is NOT the alleged leader fo the MAO Robin Fleming. (NT) -- I don't trust Robin Fleming to tell her ANYTHING., 07:16:01 07/17/24 Wed (static-198-54-135-123.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.135.123)
• Victoria's text to Robyn: 'I'm prettier and smarter and nicer and I do more community service than you. Duh You could never be Miss America That crown is mine.":
  
  Bushy eyebrows, squinty eyes, a nonexistent upper lip, a three-dimple chin and dirty blond hair.

  Robyn:
  
  Large eyes, full lips, long dramatic hair and a Jessica Rabbit vibe--stunning. I can see why Victoria is jealous/intimidated-- Robyn's got the face & figure (NT)

  • Please let's not go there. This has nothing to do with who is prettier. This is about a bully taking her actions way too far and she needs to be stopped. Robyn is not the only victim at the hands of this bully. There are probably 10 or more that have been bullied by her over the past 4+ years. Let's please keep the focus on that. (NT) -- No name, 13:16:26 07/17/24 Wed (NoHost/172.56.220.148)
  • Bottom line fact.....neither were ever Miss America material by any stretch. Simple as that. The blond is a psychopath obviously and aged out and the other just NO and has aged out as well. She was 1st runner up to Miss Alaska so she needs to take that and be happy. (NT) -- No name, 16:37:21 07/17/24 Wed (c-67-172-2-116.hsd1.ar.comcast.net/67.172.2.116)
    • Victoria is not aged out. The article got her age wrong. She’s only 24 or 25. Robyn has aged out, she is 27. And whether or not either of them was or is Miss America material is neither here nor there. The fact is that the organization refused to follow their own contract and instead protected the young woman who violated it by sending bullying messages and by bullying others in person. I the last time I spoke to Robyn K she stated while yes she would like the police to fully investigate this and press criminal charges, that is not in her control. What is in her control is using the media to put pressure on the Miss Pa and Miss America organization to change how they handle these situations and do better for the future young women competing. She is working with lawyers to find a legal way to be able to push that as well. (NT) -- No name, 01:52:12 07/18/24 Thu (ec2-54-152-234-148.compute-1.amazonaws.com/54.152.234.148)
  • Remind me not to ever cross someone who posted "Bushy eyebrows, squinty eyes, a nonexistent upper lip, a three-dimple chin and dirty blond hair." There are truths so evident from the pictures of Ms. Despico,. they do not need to be said. There is some great truth to the saying that a picture or video can capture a soul.

  • And this was before she was finished losing weight. The girl lost 100lbs in the past year working her butt off (literally) and now looks DYNAMITE! She went from a size 18 to a size 4 and somehow still kept her boobs/curvy figure. I’m actually jealous, when I lose weight my boobs go down in size 😂 (NT) -- No name, 01:55:48 07/18/24 Thu (45-79-172-97.ip.linodeusercontent.com/45.79.172.97)
• I do find it admirable that the perpetrator's mommy has her back on instagram. If there was not a paper trail in the judicial system first, I might say it's simply drama. But it isn't, and the people running the Miss PA should have used those findings to DQ their 2nd runner up. They have zero business running a pageant with teen contestants. I remember when people were hyperventilating over Kira allegedly making pledges craft overnight. This saga is positively sociopathic in comparison.

  • I'd forgotten about the Kira thing. Imagine, 10 years ago, Miss America herself was at risk of being dethroned due to bullying in her sorority. Now we have a psychopathic queen literally threatening her rivals with death and she's still holding a local title and was 2nd RU at state. It's despicable. Maybe the Miss PA Board get sued right along with the girl they protected (NT) -- No name, 23:14:31 07/17/24 Wed (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
    • Have you ever seen a picture, and got some weird impression about someone? I do not mean that they were physically ugly, as much as you just sense something is amiss on a soul level? That is what struck me looking at a couple of the perp's photos. How the pageant or the Girl Scouts allowed this given the court records seems like malpractice on their part. I always thought the Kira s-storm was a bit over the top. This is in such a different league. As a former Pittsburgh resident, I'm saddened that a kind, talented, and decent person could not be found to displace this person as 2RU.

Wonder, if tonight during the live coverage of the opening day (first day of four) of the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin will we see any state or national pageant titleholders there.

Do pageant winners usually attend these sorts of political conventions, namely if they are held in their home-state or nearby? In this case, Miss Wisconsin, Miss Wisconsin-USA or other pageant system queens?

Doing anything from being host-city/state greeters to on-stage providing the 31-word Pledge of Allegiance, or sining this famed song to the convention visitor and television audience:

Any memorable pageant appearances at any political conventions in the past? C-SPAN is airing it all day and night, with major networks commennceing telecast coverage at 10 pm Eastern/9 pm Central/Milwaukee, Wisconsin time.

By the way, Mr. Trump must like to pick white men from the upper Midwest with five-lettered "NCE" last names to have chosen Michael Pence in 2020 and John David Vance today, July 15, 2024. JD is the youngest at 39, turns 40 on August 2nd.

• His name is actually James David Vance. The same guy who blamed Joe Biden and "the liberals" for the shooting last Saturday in Pennsylvania. Yet after that incorrect comment Trump -- still picked Vance.

  • Trump should have picked Doug Bergum of North Dakota........but again, even after Trump nearly had a bullet to his face he would even think to -- selected James Vance as his running-mate, only to have more such things from JD., 18:48:23 07/15/24 Mon (syn-071-013-135-158.biz.spectrum.com/71.13.135.158)

We remember when we highlighted our longtime dress store owners not make rules to try and destroy them. We remember when judges were announced, competitions/rules were not changed weekly. So if you want to celebrate Robin because she used current technology to stay in touch (some may say monitor) the volunteers, I will applaud with you. We also remember and will never forget, on one of your lauded Zoom meetings, Robin saying “I have enough money to run Miss America for the next 100 years”.

  • You are correct in that they can't be subpoenaed as to WHAT to testify. However, if you read what their "expected testimony" is, Kay is expected to say Robin is doing a great job. So either she (and assumably Jan) are lying to stay in Robin's good graces, or they are idiots to think she's actually done anything but go after her "enemies" and damage MAO. Their self-serving choices may lead to Kay and Jan finding themselves in an uncomfortable spot if things don't go Robin's way. (NT) -- No name, 16:27:17 07/17/24 Wed (NoHost/107.127.28.71)

She has subpoenaed two long time Miss America volunteers to testify that she is an excellent business woman. My heart breaks for them. They know clearly that she has single-handedly dismantled the national scholarship fund. Under Robin’s new rules, their 2023 winners received Zero Dollars at Miss America. They have both seen all the new money that must be raised and turned over to Robin. They have both seen numerous friends of theirs removed or silenced due to our leaders spite.

Glenn, if you or your team is reading this, we could all give you a long line of people could testify regarding Robin’s business ability. Starting with the Regalia guys; going to the past two formers; the previous CO board and many others in the USA system, the dress business and probably even Pilllsbury.

We will never view Robin the same again. She was looking for that brass ring. And again failed.

MISS AMERICA 1966 RELECAST

• I actually think contestants in a lot of states leaned conservatively because indicating to open a mind or leniency for “issues” like gay rights could be polarizing. More recently, contestants may seem left-leaning, partially because the right leader is a convicted felon and alleged rapist. Outside of former President Trump, could you imagine a contestant associating herself with either? No way (NT) -- No name, 13:09:54 07/16/24 Tue (NoHost/172.58.167.85)
  • Actually, throughout the 90s, most leaned right. Abstinence only platforms were a dime a dozen. Girls didn't believe in gay marriage (though half the judging panel was usually gay men), many believed in school uniforms and just about every girl in the south "found the Lord" during pageant season (NT) -- No name, 14:33:09 07/16/24 Tue (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
• Having advised students at a college where the political balance is even, I think more young people are leaning left because they know people who are being affected by conservative politics, even the conservatives among them. Many have friends who are gay or transgendered. They don't like seeing their friends get hurt. Many want to legalize marijuana. Several of my advisees have had abortions, their friends support them. The younger generation will inherit the world; older politicians should be listening. (NT) -- No name, 16:11:40 07/16/24 Tue (syn-071-073-192-160.res.spectrum.com/71.73.192.160)

    • Most do not have the political climate tilting one way or another. I'm not surprised at the active conservative presence at colleges deemed left-leaning, and visa versa. Many students do not choose a side until their advanced knowledge allows then to make a considered decision. At least that's the mission of higher education. (NT) -- No name, 21:43:28 07/16/24 Tue (syn-071-073-192-044.res.spectrum.com/71.73.192.44)
    • Even if professors lean one way politically, most students in higher education notice that and take note. Like the person above said, most students aren't ready to select a party when they register because they just don't know yet or have enough life experience to understand. It's not the colleges pushing students to lean one way or the other, no matter what you want to belive. Surprise: every public university has to allow free speech demonstrations, no matter what the speech/Demo is about. (NT) -- No name, 14:18:51 07/17/24 Wed (NoHost/172.58.30.129)

• I feel that most of them fear that if they don’t lean left, they will be canceled. I’m sure some naturally tend to lean left through life experiences and personal opinion. But I do know ladies who feel that in certain situations, they don’t feel that they vocalize their opinions honestly due to some people on the left who seek to hurt others that don’t feel the way they do.

  • I think this comes down to being able to express your beliefs in a respectful way, aka interview practice. I've seen girls with pro-police platforms score excellently because they express that they understand the negative experiences with police, and her goal was to bridge the gap. If she had said anyone who doesn't support police is un-American, that would probably rub a lot of people the wrong way. It's all about being professional and respectful!

Robin should be shaking in her boots over the pending lawsuit. Sure, she has some state directors backing her up, but that's only because they're scared of getting fired. It won't be enough to save her. She's nothing but a crook who rigged the 2024 competition and will undoubtedly rig the next one. Anyone who tries to stand up to her or Ryan Brown is immediately blacklisted. It's disgraceful and damaging to the integrity of the Miss America organization.

And let's talk about Henris. They're as crooked as they come, lining Robin's pockets while trying to force contestants to use their services. The gift certificates Henris is giving out will just be padded into the prices of their gowns, so it's not really a gift at all—just another way to milk money from the contestants and their families.

It's infuriating to see such shady liars at the helm, destroying the legacy of Miss America. We need transparency, fairness, and leadership that genuinely cares about the contestants and the true values of the organization. Robin and her cronies are nothing but a stain on Miss America, and it's time for a change.

      • I feel like this happens every year. Even back in the day, there were always 7-8 State Delegates who were naturally better on camera or better public speakers. The producer usually spots them from their initial B-Roll sessions, and they get more prominent "ai-time". Many of these young women also happen to have excellent interviews and often become semi-finalists, but it's not a guarantee. Its an indication of "it" factor, IMO and "it" factor can not be taught.

• It's highly suspicious that in the first year Miss America teams up with the USO tour, a military member ends up being crowned. She also wore a red gown in the same year the "Go Red" campaign was established and was adorned with a red cape upon her win. Robin, a staunch Trump supporter, crowns an Air Force member who doesnft even fly planes YET, and then the contestant's photos are retweeted by the Trump family. Additionally, Robin creates the HERSTory program and coincidentally crowns a girl who performs a HERSTory. Madison Marsh's education and salary are paid by the Air Force, meaning Robin doesn't have to spend a dime—a convenient setup given the MAO's financial struggles. Madison Marsh might be very qualified and impressive, and maybe she would've won even if it wasn't rigged, BUT IT WAS. Robin also hand-picked the judges who happen to be her personal friends (also Trumpers)!The blatant corruption can't be ignored. This whole situation reeks of favoritism and manipulation.

  • Can confirm. Colorado went from one sh*t show board to another just in a prettier facade this time. They don’t pay out scholarship money, they treat contestants like sh*t, they’re making contestants pay for their own mics this year. They’re sending out emails begging for gas money for the current Miss CO because they have nothing. They hired the worst Miss Colorado in history, Savannah, to be on the board because of her daddy’s money. Honestly they have a Miss America by sheer luck and Marsh being her incredible self, her accomplishment is in spite of the state. -- lol, 21:18:31 07/01/24 Mon (c-107-2-183-252.hsd1.co.comcast.net/107.2.183.252)
    • To piggy back off this, the new board is being extremely shady with favoritism. They’re making girls submit all appearances with no guidelines on what will or won’t get approved, so they can let their favorite girls do appearances and deny others. They picked the girl’s lineup spots behind closed doors so they can give certain girls better lineup spots.

    • Madison's accomplishment "in spite of the state"? You obviously didn't see her look (hair, wardrobe, makeup etc.) when she won vs.at Miss America. At state her talent had as much emotion as I put into reading an insurance policy. Even her interview was very dry/stilted. She couldn't answer questions in her mock interviews that weren't "on topic" (her mom, the military, her social impact). Considering how much she was unavailable to state leadership it's amazing how much they were able to polish. Obviously she's smart and they weren't starting from scratch, but to make it sound like she pulled that off on her own or "in spite of the state" is just disingenuous.

      • You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Marsh thrived thanks to all of her coaches and outside help. The Colorado board was awful to her. So awful to her and other contestants in fact that they were ousted and replaced. Imagine the embarrassment of being thrown out because you couldn’t even support your girl who was good enough to win Miss America. Mette was caught talking sh*t about Marsh to other state directors the NIGHT BEFORE she won Miss America, which was reported. Don’t get it twisted in thinking they cared about her or helped her at all, all they did was whine and complain while they had the perfect girl in their hands. -- No name, 08:43:09 07/03/24 Wed (c-107-2-183-252.hsd1.co.comcast.net/107.2.183.252)

        • That's just stupid. They supported her 100% and even put up with a lot of things that a lot of other states would never have tolerated. Starting with Madison taking a month long European vacation with her boyfriend just days after she was crowned. They supported her 100% even after she had a meltdown out of nowhere a week before she left for Orlando. I talked to Mette at Miss America - she didn't bash Madison - she and the rest of the board were confused as to why Madison had had such a change in personality right before she left. They supported her and your story is just false. I would not be surprised if a lot comes out about how Robin treated the old board over the next few months.

She wants a full year and a half and a Miss America run. As far as I’m aware this has never been allowed before but they signed a deal with her to let her compete and hold the title again. The new board is just as shady as the old. Sarah is dating a board members daughter so of course they signed a deal to let her compete again.

        • This is such an incredibly hot take!! She's 20 of course she wants a chance to compete again. You can tell her love for this position through her social media and how much passion she has, I hope she's able to have another year. She's doing great things for Colorado, a state that was previously falling apart. Also from one look at her socials it looks like she became Miss Colorado before the new board was even announced...

        • Uhh, are you new to the MAO??? Most state 1st RUs who take over as the state titleholder after Miss America end up competing again. This literally happens all the time. The contract only states that a girl cannot compete at Miss America twice, not that she can't be a state titleholder twice. They did not change the contract for her. That's been the rule for ages. It's not exclusive to CO (NT) -- No name, 15:19:05 07/12/24 Fri (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)

  • The best way to tell would be to look at the rate of returning girls, and compare that to how much they award in scholarships, along with how well they generally do at Miss America. As far as returning rates, VT has been pretty consistently the same bunch for the past few years, and they have a lot of former teens competing.

Building a case and bringing that case to trial takes years, thus the reason she wasn’t arrested until 2022 and sentenced in 2023. My math, my facts and my statement are all correct.

              • Let’s be logical. The OP was asking what are good states to participate in. The response to that was Florida. You then tried to besmudge a state organization for a director, who acting alone, committed crimes against the organization. When those crimes came to light SIX years ago, the board of the organization forced her out. The Florida organization took direct action to oust her, assisted in having criminal charges brought against her and has run the organization in a credible manner. The Florida organization is respectable and the participants enjoy their time competing. If the organization had not taken action, then Florida would be a state to not participate in but they handled the situation correctly and are respectable because of it.

• 6. Colorado: Maddie Coombes – Lyrical Dance -- ???? Does anyone know the name of the song she danced to? (NT) -- No name, 19:53:20 07/15/24 Mon (c-73-251-123-73.hsd1.va.comcast.net/73.251.123.73)

• A local sponsor can be anyone. If they give you a discount that can be a sponsorhip. (NT) -- No name, 15:53:47 07/12/24 Fri (75-144-226-226-Tallahassee.hfc.comcastbusiness.net/75.144.226.226)
• It's sad because states have cultivated long standing relationships with gown stores, some of which just happen to be out of state. (NT) -- No name, 16:20:14 07/12/24 Fri (NoHost/76.159.17.35)
• Yes, Regalia is now off limits. Ask Robin about this. Even though she has been out of the dress business for years, why is she still vengeful to businesses that did better than her? (NT) -- No name, 19:26:46 07/12/24 Fri (NoHost/192.68.164.210)
  • What is the beef that she has with Regalia? (NT) -- No name, 07:31:15 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/75.43.50.248)
• Is this real?! That’s absolutely ridiculous! What about the girls who want to purchase customs? That’s absurd. (NT) -- No name, 19:34:26 07/12/24 Fri (pool-108-48-193-216.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.48.193.216)

  • Not everyone can afford THOUSANDS for a gown each year. Another sign that Robin only wants girls with $$$$ (NT) -- No name, 07:43:07 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/45.13.235.97)
    • Well, if a girl finds a $3100 dress, it will cost her $100. My girl would have loved a brand new dress for that. (NT) -- No name, 10:02:34 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/104.28.116.108)
      • I never could find a dress under 5K there! LOL (NT) -- No name, 13:09:31 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/167.160.88.98)
    • The MAO is now a for-profit business and the owner has every right to make decisions based on profitability. It is a jarring change in direction, that some are finding hard to navigate. To those, I suggest turning your buggy around and fleeing the money mill as fast as you can pedal.
      (NT) -- No name, 19:29:23 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/172.59.72.38)

• Come 7/19, Robin will no longer be involved with MAO in any way, shape or form once the restraining order goes through. Unless MSO is fully paying for the gown and wardrobe, they can't tell me where to shop. I'd never shop at Henri's. It's a crooked business. (NT) -- No name, 07:46:08 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/37.120.202.186)
• Totally agree! Have had a couple BAD experiences with Henry's. Will NOT get my gown there. (NT) -- No name, 08:45:20 07/13/24 Sat (136-32-197-127.googlefiber.net/136.32.197.127)

• Wait, if I am understanding this correctly, we have to buy our gowns from Henri's? Are they offering us 75%+ off cause I sure as heck can't afford a $10K+ dress. This is over the top if I am understanding this! (NT) -- No name, 12:34:31 07/13/24 Sat (150-200-158-23.clients.gthost.com/23.158.200.150)
• Curious, I am just a parent so question for those State Directors/Leads. Does this Robin person people refer to making these rules, does she hear you out when you express all these concerns that are costing you money and loss of contestants? (NT) -- No name, 13:23:34 07/13/24 Sat (NoHost/217.148.140.227)
  • Robin does not listen to anything. If you push back, she puts people in place that say yes to everything, kiss her a$$ and tell her how wonderful she is. (NT) -- No name, 17:09:36 07/13/24 Sat (108-94-108-63.lightspeed.rlghnc.sbcglobal.net/108.94.108.63)
• Robin is just a corrupt as Henry's. Great way to run the Miss America Pageant. Hopefully after the 19th she will be GONE GONE GONE! Add to the every growing list of come and go's. (NT) -- No name, 11:27:54 07/14/24 Sun (136-32-197-127.googlefiber.net/136.32.197.127)
• OH it is for sure the new rule. Our state uses a gown sponsor they have used for YEARS that happens to be in a neighboring state. NOT allowed. You either have to have an IN STATE sponsor, OR Henry's is where you are REQUIRED to go. (NT) -- No name, 17:00:01 07/14/24 Sun (136-32-197-127.googlefiber.net/136.32.197.127)
• I heard Henri's was offering a 10% discount to contestants. whoodey fricken do. (NT) -- 10% is a joke, 17:09:20 07/14/24 Sun (24-230-100-124-dynamic.midco.net/24.230.100.124)
• This rule apples to any state that goes out of state to purchase a gown for Miss A. For example, Regalia helped over half the states in some years with their EG, this will stop this from happening. Henri's entered into a contract with Miss Robin to provide wardrobe for the new Miss A and Teen and this is the payback that Henri's gets. The only way around it is to have an In-State Sponsor for EG and they are required to register with Miss A or wear your State gown. But if you live in Wyoming and do not have an In-State sponsor, and are use to going to Regalia, this will stop that, they will have to go to Henri's. Guess Miss A was done with the perks given to them by Regaliz and shoved them out of the way (NT) -- No name, 18:31:40 07/14/24 Sun (108-239-242-250.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net/108.239.242.250)

  • Someone that missed Colorado said it best. This is complete and utter vengeance on Robin’s part We can only hope the EDs stand up for the people they claim they love. (NT) -- No name, 13:35:55 07/15/24 Mon (NoHost/172.56.216.122)

We know that host Bob Barker died last year (August 26, 2023) at age 99, but where today are the contestants who competed for the coveted crown of Miss Universe 1984 back on July 9, 1984??

• I actually remember this pageant and knew who the winner would be immediately, but I absolutely loved Guatemala that year. (NT) -- No name, 22:40:45 07/09/24 Tue (h116.146.184.173.dynamic.ip.windstream.net/173.184.146.116)
  • ..I could never understand how Miss Sweden, Yvonne Ryding, could compete in much less win the 1984 Miss Universe title in what looked like a white lace bed-sheet draped around her as an evening gown. She gave Sweden its second Miss Universe victory and she was a lovely lady, but the gown was bizarre. Loved Venezuela, USA, South Africa and Thailand. (NT) -- Love the gown competition songs--- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6nsI9Ecz7E, 18:38:17 07/12/24 Fri (syn-071-013-135-158.biz.spectrum.com/71.13.135.158)
    • Actually, Yvonne Ryding was Sweden's third Miss Universe winner---1955, 1966, and then in 1984. -- Sweden has done well at Miss Universe, but last time in the semi-finals was Renate Cerljen in 2009., 19:10:35 07/12/24 Fri (syn-071-013-135-158.biz.spectrum.com/71.13.135.158)

• Miss USA, Mai Shanley (Miss New Mexico MAO 1983 and Miss New Mexico-USA 1984) made the top ten of the 1984 Miss Universe pageant held 40 years ago on July 9, 1984. It was interesting how the producers and musical directors incorporated the hit song of that time "All Night Long" with a Miami-themed song to fit the host city that year, Miami, Florida. They don't do pageant telecast shows like that any longer. My favorite Miss Universe show of the 1980s was the 1983 Miss Universe pageant exactly 41 years ago today, July 11, 1983, in Saint Louis, Missouri USA. -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NewQEdUq864, 13:50:37 07/11/24 Thu (syn-047-049-055-214.biz.spectrum.com/47.49.55.214)
• WV or TN should’ve won. They both would’ve been much more competitive at Miss Universe, then give it to Brenda Denton NM USA in 85. She was better than Laura herring. (NT) -- No name, 16:40:46 07/14/24 Sun (ip68-12-25-18.ok.ok.cox.net/68.12.25.18)
  • She was Laura Herring UNTIL she won Miss USA in May 1985--then suddenly she became Laura Elena Martinez Herring all because they said she was the first Latina or Mexican-American to win Miss USA. (NT) -- Interesting gowns at USA and Universe designed by her state directors GuyRex of a cowgirl style., 17:14:35 07/14/24 Sun (NoHost/12.177.13.34)

With Colorado have no former OTs in the roster, I think this will be the first time in almost a decade to have 10 former OTs in the 2024/25 class.

I have a client who competed and I need others' opinions. They had to purchase ad pages as well as ticket packages that included program books. At the pageant there were no program books distributed nor was anyone told of a delay digital book etc provided

She found out after the pageant, that the books hadn't even been sent to print. I feel that the board should refund the ad page money as well as the cost of books from the guest, personally - as a small business if I pay for a specific ad feature I expect that to be run. Another coach said was a lofty ask as the board likely needs to money but I feel its about integrity. Open to others opinions

I want them to go to fairs and festivals and put popular music in the background of their reels (I don't love if there are curses in it, but we also can't expect them to use the Kidz Bop versions either). My point is, times are changing, social norms are relaxing, and we can't expect titleholders in 2024 to look and act like the matronly saints they were in the 90s-2000s, AND wonder why the program has dwindling participation.

        • Yeah, really don't like it when someone appropriates another's "trademark" talent. You do yourself no favors and only invite comparison to he original. That song is Michelle Warren's as far as pageants go. Same as " In His Eyes" belongs to Shani Nielson. Another thing I did not like. Susan Griffin, Miss NC '74 passed away recently. She was known for her rendition of "With a Song in My Heart." There are many recordings of her singing this song as she was known throughout the state for this.

          • Michelle sang “And I Am…” 27 years ago. 1974 was 50 years ago, before modern tech would make things easy, and they didn’t have “someone else” do the song it was the outgoing Miss NC who won talent at Miss America. At Susan’s funeral that same “somebody else” was invited to enter and sit with the family who was publicly complimentary of the TRIBUTE! Not a copy, but tribute in her honor.

That was the only year I attended Miss America when it was in Atlantic City. The overall talent that year was phenominal; it was nearly impossible to predict the talent winners. And while she was a gorgeous Miss America, it always surprised me that Debra Maffet won preliminary talent. There were many others better than her.

• I personally would not for many reasons, but the biggest being that the leadership does not want a Miss America and tells the girls that. They want something they can “get along with”. They also allow sponsors and auditors to co-mingle, and 1000% bring judges in for favors. They will string rightful winners along for years to make as much money from them as possible. I wouldn’t trust the director with my dog, let alone my daughter. As for scholarships, it’s hit or miss, depending on whether they like you or not. You may have to fight them for it.

• It depends on what kind of experience she wants. The board wants a good Miss Ohio, someone that is a self starter and doesn’t need the board’s help for appearances and fundraising. If she wins, she will get the same $10k scholarship they’ve awarded for 30+ years, as well as the use of a car. The rest is up to her. Scholarship amounts seem to be on the decline in Ohio.

    • The bully story has been ongoing for years. I was on these boards last year when people were complaining about the bully, but I (and many others) didn't believe it because it was so outrageous. I assumed people were either lying or exaggerating. I feel so bad about that now that I've seen the texts posted here and read the restraining order that a judge ordered. I feel really bad for the way these young ladies have been treated and shame on the Miss PA organization for their incompetent leadership (NT) -- No name, 22:51:17 07/01/24 Mon (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)

  • I applaud you coming forward with your experience. First off, how can Miss Pa claim they won’t do anything because the bullying was “hearsay” when most of you experienced the bullying first hand? 2nd, how is coming forward, breaking your MAO Contract? Isn’t the bully in violation of her MAO Contract for her behavior? Lastly, you & sister queens choose not to return because the bully was allowed back. Frankly that is the stance that more girls in PA need to take to get this issue resolved, yet that group of women attend the Miss PA Final, WHY? Miss PA ignored your concerns & yet you came out to support the system that failed you? Doesn’t that send the wrong message? What was achieved by attending the Finals. At the end of the day, the Miss PA ED is the root of the overall bullying issue within Miss PA and she 100% needs to be removed. I encourage all of you girls to come forward & go to Robyn Fleming & demand that this issue dealt with & stop protecting the bully. (NT) -- No name, 13:22:53 07/02/24 Tue (NoHost/172.56.220.75)
    • Robyn K went to Robin Fleming and never got a response even after the court order. Robin Fleming only responded to Robyn K through the PA board and the official statement that was given to CBS. She doesn’t care about any of this, no matter how bad it gets. Debbie the PA Director is the one that told Robyn K to go to the police and even with restraining order, that wasn’t enough. No one cares, they support the bully. Personally I went to the competition finals because I had friends competing. I’m no longer apart of the org, but I can support my loved ones. I’ve encouraged them to leave as well, and I think after this year a few won’t be returning, but they want to finish their local reigns and they were told if they speak up they will be stripped of their local titles. No matter what we do, we are punished. Debbie and the board will do, not to mention what the bully and her directors will do. Her directors have been aware of all of this since she was 16. They don’t care. They never did. (NT) -- No name, 18:54:41 07/02/24 Tue (NoHost/45.144.112.203)
      • Thank you for your honesty. You are right the bully's local directors have been protecting her for years. From what I understand, they completed defended the bully and put Robyn K down. The situation in PA has gone well beyond what is normal catty behavior. I am glad that you decided to remove yourself from the situation and I wish more would follow suit. If no girls compete then they have no competition. Also the sponsors should all be made aware of what is going on. If they pull their support then that witch of a State ED Miss ED will be forced to finally ban the bully from competing. If I was a sponsor, I would be pulling out for sure. They all need to know. Also those judge should be ashamed of themselves for placing the bully as 2nd runner up. I am sure they knew what was going on. (NT) -- No name, 19:26:28 07/02/24 Tue (NoHost/172.56.220.75)
        • So yes, the NEPA directors testified against Robyn K in court to a phone call she had with them where they attempted to coerce her into saying that Victoria didn’t send those text messages. She actually has a phone recording of the phone call, that I’ve heard, where they victim shame her and tells her to stop talking about the text messages and that she should be ashamed of herself for pointing the finger at a former sister queen. Then one of the directors came on this board and victim shamed her again and called her the bully because she chose to speak out instead of keeping quiet again.

          • That is absolutely disgusting and very disturbing. Why is the Miss PA Board, The Local Directors and some of the girls so hell bent on protecting this monster? I mean does she have something major on them that they don't want to get out. I heard one of the girls who, Victoria physically struck, changed her story as to not have it affect her status with Miss PA. It has come to the point where the leadership can not be trusted to do the right thing and I hope that these girls wise up and decide to no longer compete for Miss PA until the proper action is taken, furthermore, I call for all the sponsors to stop supporting Miss PA until something is done.

  • Most of them are no longer friends with her because as soon as you become some sort of competition to her she completely turns on you. Amanda and Shannon no longer speak to her. Miranda the former Miss Pa is no longer friends with her either. Victoria literally told us she was bulimic and they only crowned her because they felt bad. She has even spoke ill of the ED and the Board President, calling them slurs and such to other contestants but obviously never in front of a chaperone. Victoria has been bullying since before 2019, 2019 is the first time I am aware that someone reported her to the national board. She used to bully and harass her own cousin when they competed as teens together. She even still talks bad about her behind her back calling her fat and saying how she still doesn’t understand how her cousin Madison won when she was so young and inexperienced and that she hopes she never competes as a miss but her family doesn’t believe it.

Sadly, they have and will continue to lose some very good directors because they aren't as important as other locals, they just fill the piggy bank.

• If you have a strong interview you will do well at any local in Virginia. The bitter sucking sound you hear is generally from people who think their girls have great interviews when in actuality they are average. With maybe one exception in the last 15 years, the strongest interviews at Miss Virginia are in the top 5. The people who are unhappy with the top 5 always know 5 other girls who would have been better choices, they just can’t name them. This year is a good example. Then, everything was fixed for one local but yet - that’s not even the girl that won.

• If the “fix” was in it was to keep the Big 3 from winning the pageant at all since so many folks are claiming conspiracy. “They couldn’t let that local win again” , what does that sound like to you? The reality Arlington has been getting the most competing girls since the early 2000s it’s a mini Miss Virginia with a dynasty of state tittle holders to show for it. The girls are going to compete where they think they have the best chance (prep team etc.) at winning. It’s the same with sports, a D1 athlete is likely going to go play at a Big 10 school before some random state college, are college sports now rigged too because the same teams have proven to be the most competitive? While I understand it hurts to not see your baby win, take off the rose colored glasses and ask yourselves the real question, in a competition where the caliber of contestant has been on the decline overall in the last 10 years, how many girls are really better than the 3 that crew brings each year?

  • These last two posts make perfect sense to me, an outsider who has no dog in the fight. The sports analogy is especially accurate. Once in a while, a smaller local can come through and win Miss Virginia (examples Martinsville and Mountain Empire) have each won within the past 20 years) but more often than not, the larger programs are going to be better equipped to prepare a contestant for state. From what I understand, other states have their dominant locals, so it is not just an issue in Virginia. On the national level, fans use the term "sash states," so there logically have to also be "sash locals." (NT) -- No name, 09:52:32 07/09/24 Tue (216-98-91-178.access.naxs.com/216.98.91.178)

• It's like the half of Colorado USA contestant pool with 45 (actually 44 had competed last weekend). (NT) -- No name, 22:25:22 07/03/24 Wed (NoHost/180.190.31.117)
  • What? (NT) -- No name, 09:51:06 07/04/24 Thu (NoHost/46.37.116.111)
    • Because the USA system and MAO system are different. USA system now allow more women to compete like married women, mothers, and even widowed with age restrictions removed. MAO still has the age restriction process but unlike the USA counterpart, married women and mothers are forbidden to compete. (NT) -- No name, 22:29:55 07/04/24 Thu (NoHost/180.190.123.181)

  • I thought you were exaggerating but holy cow that’s bad! Not the kind of headshot for a role model to young girls. (NT) -- No name, 23:10:20 07/03/24 Wed (NoHost/162.255.45.106)
    • Why the hate on Dennis? I'll admit, it does not look like a typical MAO headshot, but just the same as every other USA headshot I've seen. No more sexual than the others. (NT) -- No name, 22:22:51 07/08/24 Mon (94.sub-174-247-0.myvzw.com/174.247.0.94)

      • Did nobody tell you (or her) that this isn’t a USA pageant? I’m sure Colorado USA would love to have her! Not an appropriate headshot for MAO. (NT) -- No name, 23:36:33 07/08/24 Mon (NoHost/64.40.156.129)

    • Based on the headshots, Allison Harrison has that winning look and is a standout. How is her talent and other competition categories? (NT) -- No name, 10:08:34 07/04/24 Thu (syn-071-085-121-004.res.spectrum.com/71.85.121.4)
      • Could not disagree more. Her headshot looks scary to me. (NT) -- No name, 11:09:11 07/04/24 Thu (NoHost/23.227.142.227)
      • Allison has been competing for 3 years in Colorado but also competed in two others states, she is notoriously not very friendly and her talent is not very good. She comes across aggressive on stage. I think she could be in the 5 but doesn’t have the personality it takes to win. (NT) -- No name, 13:09:49 07/04/24 Thu (NoHost/107.123.1.17)
        • Thank you for the honest assessment of Allison. What about Alexandra Lotco & Kenzie Jensen? Their headshots are standouts as well. Do they posess the skills in each phase to be overall contenders? (NT) -- No name, 17:17:00 07/04/24 Thu (syn-071-085-121-004.res.spectrum.com/71.85.121.4)
          • Kenzie fell flat last year but seems a lot more polished now than she did before last year’s competition. Alexandra has never competed so it’s hard to know how she’ll do. I’ve heard from some of the girls that Makencie Cline is very nice and is polished. She’s new too. Also agree with the Allison Harrison comments, she’s not nice, her talent is mediocre, and she comes off harsh on stage. -- No name, 18:17:06 07/04/24 Thu (c-107-2-183-252.hsd1.co.comcast.net/107.2.183.252)

  • Returning Miss are Elizabeth Melachrinoudis, Kenzie Jensen, Allison Harrison, and Audrey Montes. From other states I don’t know all but Danielle Weniger’s socials say she’s been competing in MAO for 9 years. We know Miss America will be there but guessing that Sarah Swift, current Miss Colorado will crown. -- No name, 21:30:08 07/04/24 Thu (c-107-2-183-252.hsd1.co.comcast.net/107.2.183.252)

    • Carlehr played the piano and sang Aretha's Natural Woman. This was something like her 7th or 8th time competing. Breana was first runnerup, Emily second, followed by Lynchburg and Northern Virginia. She (NoVa) was a powerhouse Broadway vocalist who seemed solid in the other areas and I thought she would place higher. For most of the evening it looked like it would come down to Emily and Breana. Carlehr did not seem to have the spunk and charisma that they did, but then again it is all about the interview. (NT) -- No name, 09:51:07 06/30/24 Sun (216-98-91-178.access.naxs.com/216.98.91.178)

    • Correction to my earlier comment......this was Carlehr's sixth time at Miss Virginia, dating back to her first appearance in 2015. There have been some other six-timers, with one contestant trying seven times. As for Breana, it was her fourth attempt and in her most recent three, she has gone 3rd runner-up, 2nd runner-up and now 1st runner-up. So you would think that would motivate her to come back if she has further eligibility. (NT) -- No name, 15:23:59 06/30/24 Sun (216-98-91-178.access.naxs.com/216.98.91.178)

      • She ages out, Top 5 was questionable tbh. Seems like VA only wants a good state representative instead of someone who could actually do something at Miss America. From what I heard was 1st and 2nd runner up weren’t nice at all this past week. The winner was okay with the girls but not super inviting.

• The results from the pageant were extremely questionable at best. They put a new board in place and from the day one particular local crowned their titleholders, there were directors threatening to quit due to this board’s consistent track record and contestant numbers and a controversy around them being allowed to award sweeps titles. There were inappropriate comments made on contestant information sessions intended to ease concerns about a front runner from that particular group that was inappropriate. I think Virginia made a choice to retain the volunteers that they have and deliberately picked a contestant that would appease those other directors who were seeing green as they have struggled to retain EDs. I hope that particular board considers taking their volunteer hours across state lines. Evening gown, fitness, and talent overall awards were not awarded as promised either.

      • While I agree that the board you speak of had 3 highly qualified girls standing in the top 5, you overlook the new Miss VA's qualifications: years of participation in the MAO system in VA and FL; prelim talent winner in '22 and '23; OSQ winner this year; Top 5 multiple times; doctoral student at UVA; has brought her Music Is Unity CSI to communities around the country; host of a Sunday morning radio show. Any one of those women standing in that Top 5 would have been a wonderful representative for the state of VA, and while you may have preferred a different winner, do not insinuate that our new winner is unqualified or undeserving of her crown. I hope you will support her throughout her reign. Also please research the term "peanut gallery.

  • The results are a direct result of the judges and the board member who picks them. They are personal friends or titleholders from that board member. It is so easy to see why one particular local has so many in the top five when a titleholder or someone who has helped or judged is from that local. The local ED’s need to request that the judges are not from VA and do not have connections with any locals. Until someone new is selected the judges ? The same bias will happen.

Muscle definition in arms and legs. Evening gown made to fit her body and accentuate her curves. Just stop it. If she was a 5, then the winner was a negative.

• I know for certain some of the people writing the negative comments about the Arlington group have daughters who are the same age as the women in the Arlington group .. how embarrassing? They are an objectively attractive group of well put together and successful women who have done very well for themselves in a short amount of time in the program and in their careers. They have the personal financial means and the business acumen to run a successful program that a lot of the other boards who consist of much older volunteers who have been in the game significantly longer do not and they look good doing it with matching outfits at the shows.

• Also interesting to note that a scholarship pageant can't be bothered to get their punctuation right. It's the Miss Pennsylvania Organization, not the Miss Pennsylvania organization (NT) -- No name, 11:39:45 06/22/24 Sat (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
• So people can see the actual death threats this girl sent:
  
  (NT) -- screen shots from an on-air interview the victim gave, 14:29:18 06/22/24 Sat (unn-185-156-46-154.datapacket.com/185.156.46.154)
  • Why weren’t criminal charges filed? From what I saw on this message board, only civil charges were brought (NT) -- No name, 14:46:12 06/22/24 Sat (c-50-172-181-106.unallocated.comcastbusiness.net/50.172.181.106)
    • Per Robyn's Instagram, it's being investigated for criminal charges. These are terroristic threats, in my opinion. Absolutely charges should be brought against the perp (NT) -- No name, 14:52:57 06/22/24 Sat (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
    • She’s working on trying to get the police to file criminally but the officers originally testified that they just took all this as pageant girls being “catty” and didn’t move forward… I’d be shocked if they’re actually looking into it to be honest like they should. If this were a guy sending her threats instead of another woman they would have arrested already. The police told Robyn to pursue civilly so she did and she was granted a protection order with the judge saying that the respondent was responsible for over 15+ incidents including one in person. (NT) -- No name, 15:56:20 06/22/24 Sat (NoHost/104.28.39.154)
      • Something seems off here. Where are her parents? Where is her local ED? Why aren't they demanding the police investigate, considering she has receipts? Or, I'm wondering, was the phone number the threats came from not traceable? So they couldn't validate who was sending the threats? (NT) -- No name, 19:02:58 06/22/24 Sat (static-198-54-135-59.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.135.59)

          • > or whoever is in their life-- family friends, minister, aunties, coaches, former local titleholders, a pageant friend's parents, HER LOCAL. (NT) -- I didn't have typical parents & they weren't "pageant parents" in any way, 20:12:00 06/22/24 Sat (unn-185-156-46-154.datapacket.com/185.156.46.154)
            • Her local directors were supportive at first until she actually went to the police and filed the reports, then they kind of backed off… to my knowledge (unsure if this is actually true just the rumor) they told one of the girls not to testify in the civil trial because there could be repercussions at the state pageant and then that girl recanted her entire accusation against the bully and told people that Robyn was now lying after already coming forward and saying she was also a victim. Again to my knowledge (unsure if true) this was one of the girls who had been physically assaulted and it was witnessed by a PA local Director who did nothing because they were afraid that their local would be pulled from them. (NT) -- No name, 22:40:05 06/22/24 Sat (NoHost/104.28.132.134)
        • A restraining order wouldn't have been granted if they couldn't trace it (NT) -- No name, 19:55:58 06/22/24 Sat (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)

• I don’t buy this at all. Something is def not right here. I’ve watched enough Dateline to know there more to this story. The victim “playing” victim isn’t always the victim. (NT) -- No name, 20:01:51 06/22/24 Sat (104-11-197-119.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net/104.11.197.119)

• Rumor has it that the Daily Mail is doing a full piece on the story after their TikTok got over 1M views and that more girls are coming forward, with some staying anonymous because they’re afraid they’re going to be sued like they’re threatening to do to Robyn. Personally I would love to see them try and sue her because it would only make them look worse. (NT) -- No name, 22:44:30 06/22/24 Sat (hjok.youronlinemortgages.com/192.254.92.14)
  • Who's trying to sue Robyn? The stalker or the Miss PA Org? The MAO basically threatened to sue her which is just another example of the pure incompetence in leadership.and crisis communication (NT) -- No name, 22:49:02 06/22/24 Sat (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)
    • Miss PA and Miss America are threatening to sue… they have no case and honestly I think Robyn should sue them for negligence and defamation considering they completely bypassed the question and didn’t respond to the reporter when they were asked if the bully broke the contract (NT) -- No name, 23:08:13 06/22/24 Sat (NoHost/128.14.202.206)
• So a local titleholder says she's afraid of being murdered due to terroristic threats sent by a fellow contestant trying to push her out of the pageant and the MAO says to the VICTIM of the crime: "hold up, are you even eligible to compete? Because we could sue you, you know"? Is that the gist of this? Hahahaha. The MAO is so unbelievably CLUELESS. It's a wonder they're still in business. This story should be national news -- the death threats sure, but also the retalliation by the MAO against the victim who spoke out to say a judge agreed her life was in danger. What the ever loving hell is the MAO thinking in their response? My 8th grade communication class could have drafted a better response than that. It's like they know absolutely zilch about how to run a business when dealing with controversy (NT) -- No name, 00:48:52 06/23/24 Sun (static-68-235-61-102.cust.tzulo.com/68.235.61.102)
  • It's also curious to me that they're questioning the victim's eligibility per the contract, but the person who threatened to kill her?? I'm pretty sure sending terroristic threats to people would disqualify you from holding a state title. At least it would back in my day (NT) -- No name, 00:53:59 06/23/24 Sun (ip52.ip-167-114-11.net/167.114.11.52)

      • I think Page is the least of anyone's concern at the moment. The Miss PA and the MAO have opened themselves up to one hell of a lawsuit and insanely bad press. The bully in question may very well be criminally charged (NT) -- No name, 19:39:52 06/24/24 Mon (syn-072-187-151-082.res.spectrum.com/72.187.151.82)

  • They won’t do anything though. The PA program loves her and is supporting her through and through. Her aunt used to sit on the PA board so they’ll just keep supporting the bully. Makes sense though considering the ED is a bully herself and bullied her own teen Director into quitting. The organization desperately needs an overhaul. Girls are being threatened by the board if they com forward and are just being taken advantage of. (NT) -- No name, 16:58:03 07/05/24 Fri (NoHost/128.14.202.194)

• Regardless of the facts of this - this is a terrible view of the entire Miss America program. local, state, and national. I have loved this program for many, many years, donated scholarship funds, and volunteered my time. A few years ago, I said "no more". It had become embarrassing to say I supported this program. The pageant stereotype has won the battle that we all have fought forever. We knew the truth of the all the good but, the bad has won out. I have a bank of wonderful memories and that will have to do. Nothing is going to change unless someone with some integrity can take the reigns. Based on the past few years - that does not seem likely. What a shame!! (NT) -- No name, 12:33:04 06/26/24 Wed (NoHost/50.86.219.105)
• Is there any update at all on this? Why has a local pageant's social media gone dark? Were they being harassed for not removing the crown of a psychopath? Every day that goes by with nothing done makes me lose a little more respect for the local and state organizations. I also lose respect for the other victims who are standing by silently all for a crown (NT) -- No name, 19:18:48 06/28/24 Fri (NoHost/68.235.61.78)
  • The victim is still working hard to change things. She has a team of lawyers behind her that are helping build a case. She’s been pushing the police to look more into this from a criminal aspect, not sure what’s happening there since the police testified that he thought the messages were just “girls being catty”. Not sure what the org is doing, but I know Robyn K is pushing hard to get some things moving. I have a feeling there might be more coming to light soon. I’m hoping some of the other girls speak up because I know there’s so many young women in the PA org who have been bullied by the same abuser, they’re just all afraid of her and her family and what the PA org will do.
