There she is . . . Miffed America.

Cara Mund, the 2018 winner of the Miss America pageant, has traded in her crown for boxing gloves, blasting higher-ups as nothing more than mean girls who bullied, belittled and muzzled her.

“About two weeks ago, I started researching workplace bullying . . . Ultimately, this is my year in a nutshell,” the former Miss North Dakota wrote to former Miss Americas in a lengthy letter made public Friday.

“Our chair and CEO have systematically 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,’’ Mund said, referring to Gretchen Carlson, who chairs the Miss America board of directors, and the pageant’s CEO...

Can’t wait to listen to the radio version of the Miss America pageant.

Get rid of the swimsuits. Hmmm.. What they should replace that with is being asked questions about the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Federalist papers. Important stuff. If you want to be Miss America, you better know about America.

“The Brown University grad said that when she hinted at her unhappiness last month . . .”

Brown University was never great - the founders made their fortune in slaves.

To my knowledge, that woman has never apologized for attending Brown. So much for her complaining about anything. I’ve tuned her out.

And for real honesty, they should have a segment without makeup.

I don’t know how it is today but many years ago at Columbia, folks referred to Brown as “The foot stool of the Ivy League.”

"a SHAME. I used to respect Gretchen Carlson. She seems to have turned into a real nasty woman.

Looks like she was always a NASTY woman and we just didn't know it.

"I dunno. Being crowned Miss America is usually a big steeping stone on to bigger and better things. I probably wouldn’t have gone public with my beefs and burned a bunch of bridges. What part of her being a packaged & promoted ‘Commodity’ or ‘Brand’ if you prefer, doesn’t she understand? They OWN you for the year they have you. It’s their way or the highway. I think who REALLY got screwed was Vanessa Williams - though she ended up with a great singing career. It’s not like there haven’t been other examples along the way of how brutal Beauty Pageants can be. If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the Evening Gown, Girlie. *SHRUG*"

I agree with you about Vanessa. I wish the slimebag photographer that released those pictures would have had an unfortunate accident.

However, I applaud this woman's courage to come forth and set the record straight. I doubt that anybody will ever "own" her no matter the circumstances.

Further it appears that she will be the last Miss America to enjoy the widespread popularity of the title based on plans for the future. Good luck finding sponsors for that train wreck
