Fall Out Boy Make America Psycho Again Songs
For an organization based on women's empowerment, the past one-half-decade has been marred with a disturbing number of controversies and scandals for the Miss America Organization (MAO). Amidst rebranding and restructuring, the competition program has faced allegations of misogyny, leadership changes, revoked funding and accusations of bullying.
With a name like Miss America, you would envision an organizational structure based on upholding the democratic standards of America. Unfortunately, events in recent years have put a much more than tyrannical confront on the organization, tarnishing its reputation. Let's take a await at some of the hateful girls (and guys) causing some of the bug.
Sam Haskell Takes the Pageant Dorsum to Atlantic City
After but nine months, Mallory Hagan passed on the Miss America title in September 2013 because of schedule and location changes. In an email exchange between Sam Haskell, the pageant CEO, and his daughter, Mary Lane, the two expressed affection for Hagan.
Lane wrote, "Here'southward hoping you get another expert one!" in reference to the upcoming Miss America 2014 broadcast. Haskell replied, "It's going to be difficult to supervene upon Mallory, but I'm hopeful!" Meanwhile, Haskell was hoping the managing director of evolution at his production company, Brent Adams, would pursue a relationship with his daughter.
While Mallory Hagan was the reigning Miss America, she spent time at Haskell's home, where she met Brent Adams, who supervised most aspects of Haskell'due south business and personal life. Fearing the impact a romantic relationship would have on their careers, they decided to date — merely non until after she passed on the crown.
Haskell was vocal about his disappointment with this development and tried to convince Adams to forget about Hagan saying, "All of this can be yours. Y'all don't need a piece of trash similar Mallory. You demand someone with class and money similar my daughter."
Tammy Haddad Calls for Punishment of Dissenters
In May 2014, MAO board member Tammy Haddad wrote an email to Haskell encouraging him to avert getting riled up by former Miss America. She referred to them every bit a "pile of malcontents and has-beens who blame the programme for non getting them where they retrieve they tin become."
She further commented, "lxxx% of the winners practise not have the class, smarts and model for success … Y'all accept to let them go. Yous don't demand them. They need yous. We also take to punish them when they don't capeesh what nosotros do for them."
Kate Shindle Takes Shots at Sam Haskell
Meanwhile, in 2014, Kate Shindle wrote her memoir about her experiences as Miss America 1998. Titled Being Miss America, the book was set to be released in September, and she pointedly targeted Haskell. She expressed her objections to his $500,000 bacon, despite MAO operating at a arrears.
Shindle likewise accused Haskell of blacklisting anyone who disagreed with his leadership decisions. She alleged that he would accept the national organization phone call the state-level pageants with a list of people they were not immune to associate with if they wanted to go along participating in Miss America.
Gretchen Carlson Stands Her Footing Against Haskell and Haddad
Gretchen Carlson, Miss America 1989, had a history of butting heads with Haskell and Haddad over her desire to modernize the organization and her refusal to attack contestants. In a 2014 email sent to one-time Miss Americas regarding Shindle's book, board member Lynn Weidner asked, "Is information technology possible for each of yous to speak out in defense of Sam and the arrangement?"
Carlson'southward answer was, "It's one thing to talk about your own personal experience as Miss America … simply totally dissimilar to assail people individually." In response, Haddad replied privately to Haskell, "Ophidian, just now u have no doubts as to her loyalty."
Things Get Ugly and Words Are Said
In 2014, Haskell wrote an email to Lewis Friedman, author of the Miss America telecast, requesting a script change: "Sharon [MAO President] and I take decided that when referring to a woman who was once Miss America, we are no longer going to call her Forever Miss America … please alter all script copy to reverberate that they are Former Miss Americas!"
Friedman replied, "I'd already changed "Forever" to [the C-word]. Does that work for you lot?" Haskell responded, "Perfect…bahahaha." Writing to Haskell, Friedman commented that Mallory was "preparing for her new career as a blimp in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade."
Haddad Plots Against Carlson
Former Miss America Susan Powell replied to Weidner's email with a supportive response. Haddad encouraged Haskell to use the email to annoy Carlson. "Why don't y'all read Susan Powell's email on the board call and say it's a shame that only one Miss America has come forward to offering help in any fashion."
Carlson wasn't featured on the Miss America broadcast, which was unusual considering her prominence. Shortly afterwards that, she resigned from the MAO board, reportedly considering Haskell and other board members were maligning her integrity and telling others she could non exist trusted.
Lewis Friedman Has a Death Wish
In December 2014, former Miss America 1959, Mary Ann Mobley, passed abroad. Lewis Friedman sent an email of condolence to Sam Haskell writing, "So distressing to hear about Mary Ann Mobley." Sounds prissy, correct? Except the subject line read: "It should have been Kate Shindle."
Haskell replied, "Thanks so much, Coach … even in my sadness, y'all can make me laugh … how was the Kennedy Middle Honors? Love y'all and appreciate you! Sam." Friedman was a long-fourth dimension screenwriter for the Kennedy Center Honors and had earned 2 Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Writing for his work on them in 2010 and 2012.
Haskell & Company Abound More Petty
Sam Haskell and other lath members for the Miss America Arrangement continued to obsess over Mallory Hagan's relationship with Brent Adams in 2015. On January 25, Lynn Weidner sent a photo of Hagan with three other "formers" to Haskell. His response was, "OMG, she is huge … and gross … why does he want that?????"
He then forwarded the email to futurity board COO and President Josh Randle and other MAO board members along with the comment, "Look at MH in this photograph … OMG … Why does he want that?" Tammy Haddad replied, "Mallory is barely recognizable."
Sam Haskell, Nifty or Victim?
Past the end of 2015, Haskell was feeling "viciously and cruelly" attacked by Hagan on a daily basis and wrote an e-mail to Haddad, Weidner and others asking for aid. Haddad replied, "I am so sorry. Information technology is ridiculous, just she is not going to cease. She has no command. I think you should hire an investigator to get something on her."
Haskell responded, "Threatening her won't work, and we already have 'enough info on her' to shut down Ft. Knox … I really recollect the best way is to shut down her social media and convince the Formers to ostracize her."
Weidner Incriminates Herself in a Sabotage Plot
While information technology is unclear how Mallory Hagan was allegedly attacking Sam Haskell, Tammy Haddad called them "inflammatory character attacks." Lynn Weidner referenced cyberbullying in her December electronic mail response to the group.
"I wish I had an easy respond to this dilemma. If nosotros can testify a direct connection betwixt MH and specific instances of cyberbullying, nosotros could at least threaten her with a lawsuit, correct? I practice believe that our anti-coaching initiatives are already impacting her business and that our policy of ignoring her is driving her crazy!"
Ending Hagan'southward Career
It appears that the national Miss America Organization established a policy against the use of coaches to directly target Hagan's business. After her reign, Hagan was working in New York as a pageant coach for the interview portion of the competition.
The national organization informed contestants that they would demand approval from their local and state pageant directors to use a coach. Those pageant directors were and so given an informal list of banned coaches that included Mallory Hagan's name on it. Before long, her business organisation dried up, and she had to return home to Alabama.
Whistleblowers or Insurrection Strategists
In August 2017, old Haskell employee, Brent Adams, and onetime MAO board member, Regina Hopper, decided to approach Dick Clark Productions with the previously cited emails. Dick Clark Production execs, Amy Thurlow and Mark Bracco, who also held seats on the Miss America board, met with the duo and thanked them for the emails and started their own investigation.
Thurlow and Bracco approached the board with the emails expecting decisive action, but they were met with ambivalence. Lewis Friedman remained the writer of the Miss America pageant telecast that September.
Failure to Human activity
Instead of taking action regarding the derogatory emails, the Miss America Organization had their law firm present Brent Adams with a cease-and-desist alphabetic character: "Your deliberate actions establish a clear violation of the Non-Disclosure Understanding you lot knowingly and willfully entered into … the alphabetic character directed to the Chairman of the Board of Dick Clark Productions, dated September xiii, 2017, noticed us of your illegal disclosure of information, which includes several internal email communications."
Refusing to be silenced, Adams and Hopper decided to contact the media with their evidence. This led to the story breaking on HuffPost in December.
Dick Clark Productions Deals a Crippling Blow
Meanwhile, Dick Clark Productions was disgusted by the MAO board's decision to back up Haskell and Friedman and decided to end their understanding with the organisation. In a statement issued to HuffPost, the company stated:
"Several months agone, Dick Clark Productions was made aware of a portion of the emails. We were appalled by their unacceptable content and insisted, in the strongest possible terms, that the Miss America Organization board of directors conduct a comprehensive investigation and take advisable activeness to address the situation. Shortly thereafter, we resigned our board positions and notified MAO that we were terminating our human relationship with them."
The Blow Out and Backlash
In the aftermath of the leaked email scandal, Miss North Carolina 1991, Jennifer Vaden Barth, started a petition calling for the resignation of all board members involved in the bloodcurdling behavior. Mallory Hagan forth with more than 40 former Miss Americas signed it.
Haskell was promptly placed on intermission awaiting an investigation, and within days, Haddad and Haskell resigned, effective immediately. Josh Randle and Lynn Weidner voluntarily resigned from their positions equally President and Chairman, respectively, just agreed to remain for up to ninety days to assist with the leadership transition.
Haskell's Terminal Defense
Haskell defended himself: "Much of what was reported is dishonest, deceptive and despicable. The textile is based on private emails that were stolen … The story is so unkind and untrue and hurts me, my family and the stewardship of this non-profit. I was nether stress from a full year of attacks by two Miss Americas…"
"This was not the CEO of an organisation laughing at inappropriate jokes. This was a father whose family was being attacked, and a man whose character was being assassinated daily, and that impaired my judgment when responding to the inappropriate emails. For that, I deeply repent."
Caressa Cameron Speaks Out
Former Miss Americas, such equally Caressa Cameron who was crowned in 2010, noted that the organization's problems were a lack of respect and leadership and not linguistic communication. Cameron revealed that simply thirty days into her reign, she experienced problems with Haskell.
When she wanted to invite her previous motorbus to her homecoming party, she recalled, "Sam Haskell said I was non to invite her. She could not come up. He basically threw a temper tantrum, then he didn't come." She was also prevented from participating in events related to her HIV/AIDS prevention platform.
Gretchen Carlson Seizes an Opportunity
Among the about song of the former Miss Americas, Gretchen Carlson and Kate Shindle both made themselves targets of Haskell and company's attacks. Both took to Twitter to phone call for a "thorough housecleaning of the lath."
A growing consensus wanted Carlson and Shindle to take the helm and run the MAO. Carlson was elected Chairwoman of the Board of Directors on Jan 1, 2018. Sometime titleholders filled the remaining board openings on an acting basis while Carlson was supposed to deport a national search for the new CEO.
Regina Hopper Gets Her Way
On May 17, 2018, a new form of scandal hitting when Gretchen Carlson installed Regina Hopper, ane of the electronic mail whistleblowers, equally President and CEO of the Miss America Organisation. State organizations and former Miss Americas were upset that a national search had non been conducted, every bit Gretchen promised. In upshot, a leadership coup had occurred within the organization.
As function of the restructuring, Carlson pushed for a Miss America ii.0 that would no longer be a pageant but a scholarship "competition," featuring "candidates" instead of contestants. She also removed the swimsuit competition from the plan.
Pushing People Out
Well-nigh half of the nine-person MAO board was pushed to resign after fewer than half-dozen months in the position. Former winners Kate Shindle and Laura Kaeppeler Fleiss resigned in June, citing "toxic culture" every bit the reason backside their difference.
The previously signed resignation messages from their interim roles were used confronting Former Miss N Carolina, Jennifer Vaden Barth, and Former Miss Maine, Valerie Crooker Clemens, to force their resignations. They reported to The Wall Street Journal that Carlson issued a letter stating they were trying to gain control of the organization in order to forcefulness them out.
The Bikini Has to Go
While the swimsuit competition had long been a sticking point for pageant protestors, many felt that removing it in light of the #MeToo movement was a cop-out. Miss S Carolina 2011, who has recovered from an eating disorder she adult during her contest days, said:
"I call up the Miss America Organization could have done something a fiddling bit unlike and embraced people of all shapes and sizes. To me, taking it away completely says, 'If you're non that size, yous don't belong in a swimsuit.' Nosotros take to change people's mindsets and let them know women are beautiful at all shapes and sizes."
A Scholarship Competition Without Scholarship Funds
In the weeks leading upward to Miss America 2019 (held in September 2018), Miss America 1991, Marjorie Vincent Tripp, resigned as head of the Miss America Foundation. In part, she made the decision because she claimed the scholarship coin awarded to Miss America was the foundation's responsibility.
The problem with that is 15 state directors reported their winners were refusing to sign the competition contract considering of the clause that says scholarship money is "contingent upon availability of funds in any given year." Miss America 1984, Suzette Charles, said, "It'south a joke. You can go on any game evidence and win more than what Miss America is offering."
Cara Mund's Slip of the Tongue
In July, Miss America 2018, Cara Mund, made a annotate at a New Bailiwick of jersey Dairy Queen advent: "Information technology'due south been a tough year. In that location have been a lot of things I can't control. It has felt like I wasn't always heard or utilized or appreciated."
She claims she was notified within 72 hours of her punishment for speaking out. "I was told my final good day every bit Miss America would be cut to a total of 30 seconds for the national telecast." She went on to write a letter revealing the torment and bullying she suffered at the hands of Carlson, Hopper and Adams.
Cara Peels Back the Mantle
In her letter to past contestants, Cara Mund asserted that "new leadership delivered an important message. There will exist just ane Miss America at a time, and she isn't me." Instead, Gretchen Carlson would exist the focus of all Mund's public talking points, including the merits that the "#MeToo movement started with Carlson's lawsuit."
The movement really started with Tarana Burke in 2006 and was boosted to viral condition in 2017 by Alyssa Milano. By the end of her reign, Mund was only immune to post on her ain personal social media sites. MAO posted for her on all Miss America accounts.
Blaming the Victim
The arrangement responded to Mund'southward claims by proverb she had opportunities to give her opinion and manage her own social media accounts. However, they besides issued the argument, "It is disappointing that she chose to air her grievances publicly, not privately."
In a Twitter response, Carlson denied the accusations of bullying and blamed Mund's letter for costing the organization a $75,000 scholarship. An independent external review attributed "miscommunications and mixed messages" as the center of the problems between Mund and MAO: "Communications surrounding branding, clothing and appearance were less than clear and created confusion and frustration."
The States Raise Objections
Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, along with 19 other state pageant organizations, called for the resignations of Regina Hopper and Gretchen Carlson as well as the entire lath in a vote of "no conviction" for "lack of transparency and adherence to best practices."
Amid their allegations were claims that leadership lied when they said ABC would not telecast the competition unless the swimsuit program was eliminated. Land directors also objected to the contract clause that gave Hopper the unilateral right to "crusade any state titleholder to forfeit her land title" without due procedure or the right to appeal.
Ruling with an Iron Fist
With the defection of state organizations and a GoFundMe folio started past Jennifer Vaden Barth to raise funds to legally supercede the board, the Miss America Organization took decisive action, retaliating in a shocking fashion by swiftly terminating the licenses of seven states.
The states cut off included Georgia, New Jersey, New York and Tennessee. The terminations required them to replace their current leadership and plow scholarship banking concern accounts over to the Miss America Organization. They also began threatening 15 other country organizations with probation and were quick to praise us that were still supporting the current MAO leadership.
Doubling Down on Poor Word Choices
A September 2019 printing release for a new scholarship doubled-downward on the swimsuit controversy by stating, "In reaching out to the Miss America Organization, the donor fabricated articulate the important reason for the generous gift. As a immature woman who wanted to compete in a local Miss America competition in the 1980s, she was discouraged past her parents because they believed 'Miss America does not look like united states of america, and an educated woman does not parade around in a swimsuit.'"
Cara Mund responded via Instagram, "Female empowerment doesn't mean insulting, alienating and discrediting the thousands of women who paved the mode." Seize with teeth the hand that feeds you much, Cara?
Gretchen Carlson Resigns
After securing a new network partnership with NBC, Gretchen Carlson resigned from her position as lath chairwoman in June 2019. She stated, "The time is ideal to give new leadership the opportunity to move forward with what has been achieved."
Carlson was replaced by former Due south Dakota secretary of state Shantel Krebs with attorney Brenda Keith serving equally vice-chair. Later on instituting new leadership in the terminated state organizations, all 50 states, plus D.C., were eligible to compete in the 2020 competition on December xix, 2019. The swimsuit and evening gown portions of the outcome are still non part of the competition.
