While I don't think Lora is everything she presents herself to be, I disagree with labeling it ‘she cheated'. I believe she was encouraged by SO/VK to work w Jeff as his money benefited them. She was naive to how her relationship with an older, single man giving her tens of thousands of dollars & running her non-profit would look to the pageant community. It was a disaster to not address it immediately, as it allowed rumors to fly. She also didn't strike the right tone in her online posts about prepping for MA & sounded like a braggart, rather than a titleholder promoting the program. She is responsible for being OK with twisting facts to make a story better "it was my first pageant" & making promises she didn't intend to keep, “I’ll visit all 88 counties”. -- Miss Ohio, Miss Ohio Volunteer & Miss Ohio USA Pageant Forum

Bottom line, she was just too emotionally immature to be an MAO state titleholder.
