Subject: Miss America . Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:19:04 01/31/26 Sat In reply to: 's message, "Yes what this person said! How did two preliminaries not catch this? And did the contestant not realize herself that she didn’t meet the age requirements? Baffling indeed." on 17:09:59 01/31/26 Sat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date She’s a 28-year-old divorce who apparently turns 29 right after Miss North Carolina. But you can’t be 29 before Miss America therefore she’s disqualified. I don’t agree with allowing people who were previously married in the Miss America organization… Here’s her sign that she’s Miss USA material. (NT) No name 18:20:19 01/31/26 Sat I agree. If you make the commitment to get married, you are too old for pageants almost as bad as these 40-somethings and grandma’s walking around with crowns as visiting queens. (NT) No name 18:21:31 01/31/26 Sat But all of these girls have boyfriends? (NT) -- No name, 18:26:43 01/31/26 Sat Boyfriends aren’t husbands. Not even a comparison.

The contestant signed her paperwork so she lied? Like what is going on with Miss NC Org? If the contestant didn’t divulge the previous marriage that’s on her but the age eligibility.. come on JoCo you guys are not new to this! How many years in a row is MNC going to allow JoCo to keep doing these things to put the integrity of this entire program at jeopardy. (NT) -- No name, 18:50:06 01/31/26 Sat It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with what that person said. The rules are the rules and it seems like JoCo likes to break rules or make their own rules. We got rid of one dishonest local director this season looks like it’s time to shake things up down East with his best buddy.

(NT) -- No name, 20:00:42 01/31/26 Sat This statement is so clear that you don’t have a clue how this works - there wasn’t anything dishonest happening on the committees side. This was an error that wasn’t caught in the registration process for. MAO and let’s remember this isn’t the first local . The mistake was made above the local level, a confirmation was given to this contestant that was in error. It’s easier to sit back and cast your judgement and spin narratives and lies. But at the end of the day, this has been awful for all involved. Who would purposely let this happen..no one (NT) -- No name, 04:12:41 02/01/26 Sun I don’t anyone thinks it was “on purpose” & the person above may not know how it works but I’m very aware of how the process works and you can spin it however you want both Wilmington and JoCo made an egregious error and took away a crowning moment for one young lady & it just makes people question everything else that was happening at that pageant. The eligibility criteria is laid out very clearly. How did both those committees missed her age and her previously being married is beyond me. But MNC will probably ignore this just as they have before. We love this program on a whole but the last few years beginning the year with the teen judging fiasco it’s hard to continue to support this program especially monetary support when it appears dishonest, negligent, irresponsible behavior continues to happen. (NT) -- No name, 07:17:06 02/01/26 Sun Sounds to me like those 40 something’s and grandmas have a lot more class than you. I support all ages in pageantry. (NT) -- No name, 03:00:19 02/02/26 Mon Divorced or annulled? Somebody else said mistakes happen and for sure - but not many girls get divorced and think they can get back on the MAO stage. Pretty sure you know that disqualifies you, even if MAO “didnt catch it” .. I’d assume if you have an annulled marriage it’s your responsibility to provide that to MAO, and those documents def are different than divorce (NT) No name 07:29:00 02/01/26 Sun Even if that were misunderstood her age still disqualified her and those rules are very clearly stated in the paper work these young ladies sign. This is just messy. And extremely unfortunate to all those young ladies standing on that stage. That could have shifted the entire dynamic for the outcome. I’m happy for the new young lady but she didn’t get her crowning moment and that just sucks. It didn’t have to happen this way.
