I have always heard the girl who wins the crown will have a lot of duties and expectations to take care of.
Lots of visiting the less fortunate, attending parties, giving ‘meaningful’ public speeches, and more.
You will be expected to smile and keep on smiling through all of it; Stepford Wife style.
If she was over stressed, serving as Miss USA, only six months after winning, she’s doing the right thing to leave now, with a modicum of grace. The duties would not be lessening for the rest of her term.
Don’t blame her one bit.
Not everybody can afford to work a full time job without pay and still go to school and all that. It’s understandable as to why she may have decided to quit.
