Donald Trump, Miss Universe Organization Plan to Sue Miss Pennsylvania


Donald Trump called into Today this morning to announce that he and the Miss Universe organization intend to sue former Miss Pennsylvania USA Sheena Monnin because the 27-year-old alleged that the Miss USA pageant was fixed. Monnin resigned from her post as Miss Pennsylvania USA yesterday. She called the Miss Universe organization trashy and claimed that the pageant was fixed. [NBC Philadelphia]

On her Facebook page Monnin wrote:

I have decided to resign my position as Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012. Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization. In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy. I do not support this system in any way. In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any longer. Thank you all for your support and understanding as I walk a road I never dreamed I’d need to walk, as I take a stand I never dreamed I’d need to take. After 10 years of competing in a pageant system I once believed in, I now completely and irrevocably separate myself in every way and on every level from the Miss Universe Organization. I remove my support completely and have turned in the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012.
