A pageant queen who was crowned Miss National American Alabama 2024 is facing backlash from fans and former titleholders questioning the legitimacy of her title.
Sara Milliken, a plus-sized beauty pageant contestant, stirred controversy following her win over Memorial Day weekend as vicious trolls attacked her weight.
But now critics are voicing their confusion after several media outlets referred to Milliken as 'Miss Alabama.'
They were quick to point out the 23-year-old did not compete in the official Miss America competition.
One former winner, Miss Alabama Amie Beth Shaver, claimed she doesn't know what that contest 'even is.'
Shaver emphasized that there is only one recognized Miss Alabama title, which leads to the Miss America competition. In addition, there is Miss Alabama USA, which sends contestants to the Miss USA pageant.
'Miss America now is 101 years old and then Miss USA, which goes on the Miss Universe pageant,' Shaver told 1819news. 'But this National American Miss, no one has heard of it. I don't even know what it is.'
The winner of Miss Alabama USA in 2024 was Diane Westhoven.
Shaver claimed Miss America owns the rights to the 'Miss Alabama' title, so it is wrong to use that title for a different pageant.
'If you are a pageant person, you're only going to participate in either Miss America or Miss USA,' Shaver added.

That must be the runner up.
“The kid on the far right hasn’t been missing many meals, either.”
You be a racissss for noticing that
““plus-sized?” That’s a whale of an understatement.”
I agree. The woman in white to the right of her is “plus sized” She is “Miss Morbidly Obese”
” then how’s about ditching the fancy evening gowns? Casual business attire, maybe?
“
Please do not call for a swimsuit showing
Look aside form her being morbidly obese she’s ugly.
This is a beauty contest and the woman has a face like a mud fence. I’m not sure Laz would hit that.
I’ve seen a lot of large women who were beautiful. Even plus size woman in the white dress standing to her right is more beautiful.
That tells me this whole contest was rigged and it’s pushing this like they were pushing the trans agenda.
I understand that some women can’t help being overweight and that should be accepted. We should be understanding.
I don’t know, somehow this whole things comes across as ugly is now beautiful.
Beauty? Nope.
They might as well crown the proverbial “One eyed, one one-horned flying purple people eater”. You’d have to be eating as much as a football player every day to get in that shape.
Maybe Bush Beans will want to contract her to sell the Bush Beans. LOL
Hey Laz!
Check it out........just kidding😀
As indicated in another posting… if LAZ tried he’d need some flower.
No way that won any beauty pageant.
This just in: The USPS has honored her victory by issuing her her own zip code
If she has one more pie a la mode, she’s gonna need her own ZIP Code
And in the grotesque hambeast division...
Or as my grandpappy used to say, “She’s got more chins than a Chinese phone book.”
““Our representatives are chosen on the basis of 4 required areas of competition. 30% of the score comes from their communication skills during their Personal Introduction, 30% from her poise and presentation during the Formal Wear Modeling Competition, 30% on personality, communication and confidence in an Interview, and 10% on participating in our Community Service Project. National American Miss pageants, while glamorous events, are not at all like typical “beauty” pageants. In fact, as you see above, all of the scoring in our pageant is based on personality, confidence and communication. Good communication and presentation skills are what we want to recognize and encourage. Braces, glasses, skin problems, varying heights, weights and appearances, are all a part of creating the special and unique individual that you are and that we want to celebrate!”
It’s a misnomer to call this a beauty pagent since “beauty” is not part of the scoring. That explains the outcome.
Thankfully, it wasn’t Miss Frank and Beans.
There are three contestants there who have obviously put in a lot of time, work and money to compete. How terrible for them to have to have been a part of this. I know they didn’t know this was what was up.

Exactly.
