'Miss Alabama' Sara Milliken's title is being disputed after fans claim plus size pageant queen isn't the real deal

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.

According to 2022 data, Alabama’s adult obesity rate is 38.3%, which is the sixth highest in the country. This is based on a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 or higher

She’s in good company in Alabama.

The Left’s nihilistic war on beauty in all its forms has been waged for sometime. Some competitions give fake women the title in a beauty contest, with all the beautiful competing girls having to smile cordially and applaud the idiocy and perversion.

The blond in the pink dress is a hottie as well.

“So basically this was a county fair contest and this woman won “Miss Pork and Beans”

I made this comment yesterday:

For the love of God please make this stop. This is not the commonly known “Miss America” pageant. This the “National American Miss”, a totally different organization.

https://www.namiss.com/

Looking at their website it appears that there are about 50 different categories, which leads me to believe that if you pay the money to enter this contest you will win...something. It’s gotten ridiculous. After this dies down, you will never see this person again.
