Miss America Bullied and Silenced?
Miss America Cara Mund is accusing the Miss America Organization of bullying and silencing her. The irony of the accusation hasn’t escaped her or anyone else.
In the past year, the Miss America Organization has scrambled to give its image a facelift after a series of scandals in which its leaders were ousted for slut-and-fat-shaming contestants. The Organization put Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America herself, in place to help lead the organization forward, and swimsuit competitions were banned.
But the same issues are still in play, according to Mund.
In a five-page letter, Mund, Miss America 2018, specifically called out calls out Miss America CEO Regina Hopper and chair Gretchen Carlson for having “silenced me, reduced me, marginalized me, and essentially erased me in my role as Miss America in subtle and not-so-subtle ways on a daily basis.”
