Subject: Is Olivia going to be as mean to the outgoing Miss America as she was to the outgoing Miss Ohio?

Heard through the rumor mill of contestants and volunteers that Olivia was very rude to Stephanie all week. Allegedly was even heard her say she didn’t deserve her Miss America placement.

[> Subject: That’s interesting since Stephanie was hardly around the contestants during Miss Ohio week. All the volunteers were very supportive through the week. Olivia has the kindest heart and is not rude to anyone. Maybe you should stop with the “heard it through the rumor mill” garbage and stop smearing someone’s name and reputation! Sounds like someone is seeking revenge since they didn’t win.

[> [> Subject: Olivia is well known to give backhanded comments on what other girls are eating (very "body neutral").She speaks in an extremely condescending tone to others. She has spoken poorly of other girls,to which chaperones and Steven was made aware and nothing was done because it "wanted to let it play out". And now, it's been one week and she is where? She has yet to make a single in person appearance. Look. Olivia is talented and beautiful. She will do well at Miss America. But girls are CLEARLY discouraged by the way they are talked down to by who is supposed to be inspiring and welcoming. Those girls saw the Miss Ohio program they knew start to die when she was crowned. I hope I will be proven wrong. But there was no genuine kindness. I hope girls will come back to prove this wrong and not give up because the current Miss Ohio left a bad taste in their mouth.

As someone who was part of the Miss Ohio Class of 2025, I want to say Olivia’s win reflects her skill and preparedness to represent Ohio at Miss America. I’m excited to see how she embraces her year. Regarding the comments made here, I can’t speak to what was or wasn’t said as I’m unsure and I don’t condone unkind words or actions from anyone. However, in my time in the program, it’s unfortunately common for contestants to make comments about others through group chats, casual conversations, or jokes that end up getting back to people during the week or through chaperones and sometimes the chaperones themselves are the ones with comments. This isn’t something unique to Olivia or this year; it happens every year in some form. Honestly, no matter who won, you would likely find someone here finding reasons to criticize her. For example, during Stephanie’s year, many of us remember she was openly rude to contestants during the first two days of competition week, yet when she won, there wasn’t a rush to this board to tear her down. It’s important to hold everyone to a standard of kindness, but it’s also worth recognizing that negativity among contestants isn’t new, and maybe the focus should be on creating a more supportive environment overall rather than singling out one person. I’m not condoning any actions or words said or not said but let’s not single one person out when this happens across multiple people during the week.

You're defending Olivia's alleged rudeness with whatabouting Stephanie. Two wrongs don't make a right. Your being upset ppl didn't criticize Stephanie last year isn't an argument either.

[> Subject: Stephanie was rude and self serving. She gossiped a lot and talked badly about people behind their backs right after being fake nice to their face even to volunteers and the board, which didn’t sit right with me- but she puts on a nice act. I was really happy Olivia won this year—she’s super talented, kind, and definitely deserved it. I think it’s a perfect fit for representing the class.

[> [> Subject: Not one supportive post for Olivia was deleted but at least 6 posts rudely addressing Stephanie were. Posts attacking Stephanie aren't supportive comments for Olivia. Why are posts being deleted? Any post addressing someone directly will be deleted. Any post complaining about the board will be deleted. Belligerent or low effort posts will be deleted. Stay away from being condescending and don't call posters names (like Diva). This message would have been deleted for the "this is getting out of hand" comment, but rather explained how this poster is mistaken that positive Olivia posts were deleted.

[> [> [> [> Subject: “Thanks Mom” is a time-honored Voy board response to trash talking a girl, over hyping a girl, condescending to posters, lecturing everybody, or accusing jealousy.
Here’s the analysis of the thread:
5 posts up with comments directly against Stephanie, naming her.
One post giving pros & cons of Olivia, naming her.
3 pro Olivia posts, naming her.

So it’s 5 negative, zero positive for Stephanie; zero posts rudely addressing Olivia, 3 posts supportive of Olivia.

Saying I heard it through the rumor mill is just gossip and hearsay. It’s like saying the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are real. That doesn’t make it true. Sounds like someone is jealous.
