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 Kazantsevs 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 shes 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 theres anything in the winners 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 its unlikely the Miss American organization knew about the sorority scandal prior to the media reports, and is most likely doing damage control.

Read the original scoop on Jezebel (link below if you can stand their bs). Seems this was not some sorority wide crackdown but rather a specific expulsion of Mizz America and a friend who were in charge of the pledges and gave them the full abusive b#$%^ treatment. I guess it’s not shocking that someone who would volunteer at an abortuary would be abusive towards powerless freshmen under her thumb.

Agree. Homely looking if you ask me. (of course no one asked me)
guilty! with extreme predjuice and much re-educational discipline required
Her win was a big surprise. I hate to say it but they have made it obvious that Miss America is obsolete. I am not a feminist at all. They have just dumbed it down. I do like that the girls look more athletic and not just skinny. But when a girl singing the movie version of a pop song, not perfectly at that, wins it is disappointing. Her talent could have been seen in any smaller venue. The questions are all predictable as well as answers. If a contestant answers with any uniqueness they do not stand a chance. I don’t think I will watch again and I can’t help but wonder when they will allow drag queens to enter. Or when will Mr. America get the same opportunity? I guess it was inevitable.
Something looks very strange at the bridge and inner eye area, as if she has had some tucks there.
Not that great looking. Had to be a fix to get her to win.
She should have won for so many reasons. Let’s hope what you see on the outside matches the inside.
I wonder what the people she hazed are thinking. If I were them, I’d be making a lot of noise.
She looks like a younger Ab-Whore-Shun Barbie a/k/a Wendy Davis.
I find it odd that they never mentioned the alleged incident where she once kicked a puppy.........
Her talent sucked and her body ain’t all that great.
She stinks.
I think they would give the boot. Forced sex is forced sex, animal, vegetable or mineral...
Her association with Planned Predators is disgusting. Not such a pretty face either.
Agreed!
Yes, and I am happy that she is a Liberty U. student as well, just my kind of girl (especially because I have an undergrad from there from about 10 years ago)!~
