Miss America Organization Email Scandal Leads To Resignations
- 6 years ago
The top leadership of the Miss America Organization has been implicated in an email scandal that targeted past pageant winners for abuse based on their appearance, intellect and sex lives. On Saturday, president Josh Randle resigned. The outgoing president apologized to a winner whose weight he ridiculed.
Randle told The Associated Press his comment came months before he started working for the Miss America Organization in 2015. But he said it was wrong. The comment was made in response to an email to his private account about the physical appearance of 2013 winner Mallory Hagan.
