Subject: Tomado del forum mexicano, cortesia de Lestat: Tara Corner en Today Show, " de niña fui abusada -nunca dice si sexualmente- y por eso caí en las drogas y el alcohol"



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fallen beauty queen, Miss USA Tara Conner, said she had witnessed abuse as a child and that may have driven her into a life of alcohol and drugs -- but she still believed she could be a good role model.

Conner, 21, came close to losing her crown last month because of her wild behavior but was given a second chance by real estate tycoon and reality TV star, Donald Trump, owner of the Miss USA contest, after she agreed to enter a rehabilitation program.



In her first interview since emerging from a month in rehab, Conner said she had come to terms with the fact that she was an alcoholic, willingly admitted she had taken cocaine, and described her past behavior as dishonest and manipulative.

But she said she had faced her "demons" and hinted her problems may have stemmed from some unspecified abuse during her childhood with someone she recently confronted. She would not comment on whether this abuse was sexual.



"Later on, maybe I'll feel more comfortable about speaking on these topics, but right now not so much."

She said what had happened in the past may have contributed to her alcoholism and addictive personality.
