Just a week into her reign as Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev has had to answer questions about a three month internship at Planned Parenthood and getting kicked out of her Hofstra University sorority for abusive hazing.
“Under the broad definition of hazing, yes, I was involved,” Kazantsev told "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. “At the time, unfortunately, that was just the culture of the university, and I was hazed, and I was kind of brought up through the organization thinking that is appropriate behavior.”
While the story made headlines and forced Kazantsev to explain her actions on national television, the Miss America pageant claimed they knew about Kazantsev’s troubles at her sorority all along.
"Kira has been fully transparent with the Miss America Organization about her termination from the Alpha Phi sorority," a Miss America Organization spokesperson told FOX411. "It's unfortunate that this incident has been exploited to create a storyline that distracts from what we should be focusing on: Kira's impressive academic achievements at Hofstra University."
Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron said the organization sits the winner down immediately after she’s crowned and directly asks her if she has any skeletons in her closet.
“One of the very first things that happens when a Miss America wins the crown is the organization asking if there’s anything in the winner’s background because of the morality clause,” she said. “If there was something that would detract from her reign, the organization would have handled immediately and taken proactive measures.”
Jonathan Bernstein, President of Bernstein Crisis Management, said it’s unlikely the Miss American organization knew about the sorority scandal prior to the media reports, and is most likely doing damage control.

Not pretty at all. And a liberal skank to boot.
Skinny, car wash gurl.
a mean girl
now the queen of mean
I find her prior association with Planned Barrenhood far more repugnant than this idiotic sorority thing.
She’s got that look like the girl who had all that plastic surgery to become “a bimbo” doll.
She should go. A Miss America is supposed to be an exceptional role model, and she isn’t.
I don’t follow this “stuff” so I could be wrong. Wasn’t her platform on Domestic Abuse and abusive manipulation?
And she was kicked out of her sorority for hazing...Oh my!
Is it me, or does she have a slightly sociopathic look to her?
"...you've been a bad girl, now go to my room"
Nothing wrong with hazing if you don’t cross the lines. But if her sorority kicked her out, it certainly looks like she crossed the lines.
And she’s a baby-killer, to boot. Then she puts on that innocent look. She gets her kicks from killing and torturing people? No thanks. Let some stupid Sugar Daddy have her.
One might think they'd try to determine this BEFORE the contest and save all the hassle, no?
Mean “gurl”. Looks fade over time, better work on the inner beauty.
The hazing involved forcing women into lesbian oral sex.
Isn’t she the Ideal American woman?
Pure Evil.
If she was a conservative - the media would have already run her out of town. But, since she’s a liberal, she’ll get a pass.
I see but don’t get. Possible payoffs here?
Why don't they sit all the candidates (or at least the finalists) down before the judging and ask that question?
