This post is so full of misinformation, it exhausts me to think of trying to correct it all. My only guess, again, is that you are someone (probably associated with AS, or AS herself) who finds themselves on the outside of the program, speculating about what is going on inside. It must be exhausting, keeping your nose pressed up against that window and still knowing so little. Let me just remind you that Ashley did not take AS's position. AS was fired. Months later, Ashley's team got the bid and has been doing a fine job. Ashley didn't take this from AS. AS lost it. It's really not a competition. Also, no one is blaming AS for last night. In fact, no one even mentioned AS. It's time for YOU to move on. (NT)	No name	22:37:07 02/21/16 Sun


If the money (raised for the purpose of supporting contestants in the Miss Illinois America scholarship program) is going to the new organization, where is it? But, just for the sake of argument, let's say the money does, in fact, go to MISO, Inc...what exactly is your complaint? (NT)	No name	22:47:45 02/21/16 Sun


Wow. Reading this makes me glad I left the program during the Amalia years and didn't come back. I wish Ashley well, but I don't miss the petty back stabbing and gossip of the MAO pageant world. (NT)	No name	23:32:33 02/21/16 Sun


I've read this statement before and I'm really curious...Who is Ashley using that Amalia used? (NT)	No name	10:03:39 02/22/16 Mon


Yes, tell us! (NT)	No name	16:37:53 02/22/16 Mon


Every single sponsor is from the old group, not one new one. Production Team is exactly the same, Security, Hostesses, and more. She even brought back Shuey, Hannah and Zac her husband. So nothing is new at all. Only new people are Field Directors who are so new, they know nothing. Katie Frank is still involved as well. (NT)	No name	20:26:07 02/22/16 Mon
"Nothing is new at all." Let's see. Board, all new. Field directors, all new. Not only new, but also trained on the rules and abiding by them Sponsors, some new, some not. Production team, not even finalized yet. The reality is that not everyone needed to be fired because of Amalia's choices. In fact, the only people who needed to leave were Amalia and her crew and they're gone. Many people have asked to return, some who were excluded or left the program because of her. Only someone whose perspective is askew would see this as a tribute to Amalia's team-building or a bad reflection on Ashley. This is really about your resentment that people are continuing to be involved, which I suspect you perceive as disloyalty. In truth, these people are loyal to the program and the contestants, as they should be. (NT) -- No name, 21:15:32 02/22/16 Mon What is Katie Frank's role? (NT) -- No name, 21:26:41 02/22/16 Mon Returning Production Crew -- No name, 11:29:23 03/01/16 Tue Well said. (NT) -- No name, 21:14:06 03/01/16 Tue Only good roll models pleez (NT) -- No name, 16:43:21 03/04/16 Fri Like people who are literate? (NT) -- No name, 14:22:40 03/05/16 Sat

So let me guess, you stand by and watch Amalia's treachery, and you are rewarded with a return ticket; REALLY? What a joke! All past board members who served under Amalia should be OUT!!! (NT)	No name	18:27:02 02/23/16 Tue
Um. They are. Save your indignation for something real. (NT) -- No name, 19:20:13 02/23/16 Tue

Apparently the posters indignation is for good reason. An ex board member was said to be back who was referred to as "Amalia junior" at last years pageant. If this board member supported her, then she wasn't there "for the girls." (NT)	No name	09:08:21 02/24/16 Wed
Who are you talking about, exactly? (NT) -- No name, 09:27:48 02/24/16 Wed The poster, as far as I could tell, was still talking about KF, whom you'll notice no one can actually identify as being involved. That's because she isn't. Additionally, it's already been stated the board is ALL NEW and Amalia's people are gone. So, no, that poster's indignation is not reasonable. That said, I have to think that you have changed the focus and are talking about someone else, because I can't see anyone calling KF "Amalia junior." So, please do tell us to which ex-board member you're referring, rather than passively-aggressively stirring the proverbial pot of unrest. (NT) -- No name, 13:56:36 02/24/16 Wed

Well, there were 4 names mentioned above, and it was not KT, so you figure out who served on the board. (NT)	No name	09:30:25 02/25/16 Thu
Well, if you're referring to Hannah (because you lack the testicular fortitude to say it outright), she was no longer a board member when Amalia was fired. But let's just set that argument aside for a second, Hannah is a former. She's not going anywhere. Additionally, she's doing choreography for the state pageant. She is more than appropriate for that role. Now, back to her role in AS's regime, Hannah was very young and should never have accepted a board position. But, more importantly, the adult who was running the program should never have asked her. Further, said adult fostered an unhealthy relationship with Hannah at a pivotal time in her life. I think some grace could be extended to Hannah for being young and impressionable. Ultimately, if you find it difficult to do that, your attempts to intimidate or exclude her make you no better than Amalia herself. If you find Hannah's involvement as the choreographer unpalatable, please feel free to exclude yourself instead. (NT) -- No name, 10:10:30 02/25/16 Thu Everyone wave to KL Daley! Worked side by side with you that year hearing you proclaiming she was all grown up and fam should honor that. 3yrs later too young to know better? Get yer stories straight! (NT) -- No name, 06:55:47 02/26/16 Fri Ha! Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not KL. (NT) -- No name, 11:42:07 02/26/16 Fri

KF is not out, she's assisting with CMN so get your facts straight. Whether Hannah wants to admit it or not, she needs to tell the truth herself. I'm not for one side or the other, however GS & AS helped her in various situations. Sour grapes in all aspects is sad. However, both Hannah and Megan were supported through trying times in their lives. Too bad they aren't gracious enough to admit it. (NT)	No name	19:05:23 02/25/16 Thu
The relationship between all these people is too complicated to discuss here and really none of our business. I'm not disputing that Hannah and Megan benefited from their association, but I do believe it came at a price to both. Not only that, the fact that they benefited doesn't make what they went through any less unacceptable. Ultimately, belaboring that aspect here is going to get us nowhere. The point I'm trying to make is that neither can be expected to be excluded from the organization because of their association with Amalia when a) they're formers and b) they were young and impressionable. While they may have benefited, they've also suffered enough. As for KF, I'm pretty sure my facts are straight. (NT) -- No name, 11:47:50 02/26/16 Fri

Obviously the poster of this "Bull Crap" needs to grow up. Hope you are not helping because there negative people need to be gone. (NT)	No name	15:04:19 03/01/16 Tue
