Telling me I need therapy, I do take as a slam. As a person that has been a witness to this organization for many years along side AS.....i am well aware of the situations, experiences and relationships she had had throughout. I have seen how this organization has always been a revolving door....even prior to AS. I dont care how much research or how much digging WGN did. I dont care how many people were contacted and didnt go on camera- due to whatever reason. What i do know are those people on that panel. What i do know are the stories that habe been embellished. What i do,know is that some of those people DO NOT deserve to have their voice heard .... -- ILLINOIS Pageants Board

Cont... Alot of people were contacted by WGN and contacted WGN to discuss their experiences of AS. WGN refused to hear ANY follow-up, clarification or just the simple second side of the story. Many people called to defend AS. Not 3 or 4 supportors.....there may be 3 or 4 supportors on this board, but there are more than that behind AS and GS and their family. This story was written and blasted to slander AS's name.....not to hear the TRUTH, but only ONE side. WGN also stated that Amalia is suing.....that us NOT true. Amalia is NOT suing anyone. WGN got a lot of things wrong....including their choice of people to interview. (NT)	No name	20:52:12 08/04/15 Tue
AS is not a part of the organization ( by choice). This was her last year and she knew this minths prior to the pageant and announced it weeks prior. You want to believe she was FIRED....ok. I dont care and neither does she. She knows the truth and so do the people ahe told closest to her. You dont need to know every detail about AS decision or thought process. What u can tell is...she is a really strong individual. She said farewell to this organization long before Marion this year. Of course she cant avoid knowing about this WGN bullshit.....but she is happy and living her life...especially now that she has a hell of a lot more time on her hands. Working, taveling and spending time with family. The rest of you should do the same. (NT) -- No name, 20:59:56 08/04/15 Tue But if she truly "quit" why did she quit, come back, get fired, claimed she was going to quit, and then appeal for her position back. I'm sure she says she was going to quit, but I truly believe AS is mentally ill and needs medical help. (NT) -- No name, 06:40:58 08/05/15 Wed Agreed. That's why the person defending A.S. is properly called out below for being delusional. (NT) -- No name, 07:16:25 08/05/15 Wed AS didnt quit, comeback, get fired. The appeal was NevER EVER about AS getting her position back. She wanted to be done! She put in her resignation and that asked for it to be extended out until the pageant was over. Rather than walking away, she wanted to finish out. She was talkrd into doing this by some of the staff, friends and family. I know...because I was one of these people. In hindsight, I wish I wouldnt have encouraged her to go to Marion to finish. I should have just supported her walking away. (NT) -- No name, 08:54:00 08/05/15 Wed O.K....yea sure.....whatever you say......it happened that way. Now go take your unicorn and have a great day! ;) (NT) -- No name, 09:22:35 08/05/15 Wed Again...i would know a lot more than you would. Not my problem that you refuse to believe the truth. Why would I come on here and make this shit up? I clearly was a part of this.....were YOU? (NT) -- No name, 09:54:29 08/05/15 Wed I was not part of the program at the end, but I was at one point in time during the A.S. years. I figured out her twisted web of lies within the first four months, and left the organization for that very reason. My experiences mirrored those portrayed on the WGN story, and not the sunshine and rainbows version you are spewing. (NT) -- No name, 10:52:42 08/05/15 Wed Had you been at Jonestown, you would have been one of the people found dead by the Kool Aid tub. Good riddance to you and A.S. (NT) -- No name, 11:00:06 08/05/15 Wed Wow, what a disrespectful comment considering almost 1000 people died there due to suicide by cyanide poisoning. Not necessary and completely disrespectful. (NT) -- No name, 15:06:15 08/05/15 Wed "Not necessary and completely disrespectful" is how I would describe all of your posts about what a wonderful job AS did in running the Miss Illinois Program (NT) -- No name, 17:25:44 08/05/15 Wed but if she quit why come back -- No name, 13:00:42 08/10/15 Mon

Then I guess you are just going to have to be offended at my "slam". Once again, your denial is laughable. A.S. damaged a lot of people with her actions over the years, so if she has moved on, it's best for everyone. Ultimately, I feel very sorry for you, whoever you are.

I dont need you to feel sorry for me. I'm a very happy person. Thanks!:) (NT) -- No name, 21:24:34 08/04/15 Tue happy but delusional . Good luck with that! (NT) -- No name, 21:36:23 08/04/15 Tue Hey...good talk! Thanks so much. :) (NT) -- No name, 21:55:48 08/04/15 Tue
