@@AlmondJoie Technically, Ms. Vanessa Williams had knowingly violated the Miss America rules on 2 counts: 1) she knew when she entered and signed their contract that she had the very explicit unpublished nude and pornographic photos in her past (not just nude, they were depictions of her having oral sex with another woman, still viewable online) and 2) she knew she’d had an abortion in her teens, and the pageant required contestants to “never have been pregnant.” Among a long list of other sexist requirements. However, those rules were misogynistic and dumb anyway. Good for her for proving that shit doesn’t matter one bit as to what a woman is worth or what she can accomplish in life. True class. 👍🏼
My favorite Christmas movie is still A Diva's Christmas Carol to this day. I was around 6 or 7 when it came out and I thought she was the prettiest woman I had ever seen. Watching this interview gave me that same feeling but better because her inner beauty is even more captivating when she's not acting and just Vanessa Williams. Love this

Sometimes the snow comes down in June, sometimes the sun goes ‘round the moon, just when I thought our chance had past, you went and saved the best for lasttttttt 🎶
I turned 60 in October and I am loving me. Its all about me now. I say what I think. I say no to grown kids! Its all about me and my hubby. I still look good, feel good. When I happen to mention I'm 60 now my coworkers jaws drop! Black don't crack! If I could only embrace the gray hair. I keep dying it.
Keep dying it until you are done dying it. I am approaching the beautiful age of 50 In February, and I have a few grays that I’m not ready to embrace yet. I have been walking everyday on my treadmill and stopped eating after 7pm and already I see my body changing. Keep enjoying 60!
Wow ..40 yrs ago. I was 13 yrs old. She is beautiful and has risen above all the negative 🙋. Her PR , manager & But God has been there for her. She is definitely a phoenix rising star ⭐. I admire she didn't give up on love the third time around 💞
Always loved Ms. Williams! 💖I had a HUGE crush on her when I was a kid n the 80s. She persevered a lot & is a gr8 example of taking back what belongs 2 u. 😍🥰💪🏿💯
She is not only talented, beautiful, amazing and strong, but very intelligent. I love you Vanessa. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Your life has truly been an inspiration to me. God bless you always 🙏
@@sonjaanderson6933 nonsense honestly her face is smooth, her upper arms do not have batwings and she still has the same youthful face. Lovely looking woman.
She has one of the best public images today. She embraces her stage in life and reality. The "thankful" principle is key and I totally believe her when she said that is what keeps her radiating beauty.
Decent classy talented lady - love u Vanessa please keep signing , your voice is so soothing and perfect , been a fan always ! Love love to hear your Christmas cd’s every year !!! Stay safe ❤
It's actually a rap song that popularized the phrase. It's called Smile Living my Best Life. A comedian named Lil Duvall made the song. "I ain't going back and forth with nobody, I'm living my best life." The point is regardless of what's going on, im going to enjoy myself.
To all especially young people; WITH ONE SUCCESS A THOUSAND FAILURES LIE FORGOTTEN, BUT WITH ONE REFUSAL TO TRY THOUSANDS OF SUCCESSES MAY PREMATURELY DIE. Vanessa is living proof of this statement
I feel this program always brings up a painful past of a guest. Always. So unnecessary. I can see the discomfort on guests faces. Sometimes old news is not news anymore. It's not journalism to me. A 3 minute chit-chat is not the platform to go deep. Guests are coming on to talk about now...maybe future. Unless they have written a book where they want to address something. This is not 60 minutes.
I agree with you 100%. That scandal happened so long ago, and I don't see the revalence in bringing it up again. Vanessa rose above it, and she's still a shining star. I'm happy for her.
I totally agree too and I hate it. I don't know if it's done for shock value or the pressure of being "the consummate journalist". Either way, I'm over it, and I don't tune in to this show as often as I used to. I really felt for Vanessa having to sit through that yet again.🙄

@@calisongbird Rather than putting Vanessa Williams on blast by rehashing a painful part of her past from 40+ years ago, why not just celebrate the legendary woman and icon for who she is today and all of her wonderful accomplishments? I had no idea about the finer details of her life that you took time to lay out in such graphic detail, but really, after _40+ long years,_ I think it's finally time that we all just let it go. Let it go MyNameHere. Vanessa is Mumsy now. Let's give Mumsy her flowers 💐 and show our appreciation for her while we can by celebrating the positive.
Making it to 60 is truly a blessing
Yes, I know. I’m there now.
#VannessaWilliams has always been a gorgeous woman. I'm glad to see her making her way throughout her musical career for sure!!
After all these years, Vanessa lost her Miss America crown, but she has had a career in music that no other Miss America came near.
Right? Ask anyone, "Name a famous former _Miss America."_ Most people by far will say Vanessa Williams.💯👑💐

The pagent apologized to her and tried to give her title back and she said NO Thanks. It was their loss. She's a beautiful talented Queen..
@@calisongbirdno one ask you what she did. SMH. How weird..
She has had a Career Period that No Other Miss America Has Came Near.
VANESSA WILLIAMS STILL 👀'S FABULOUS AFTER 40YRS IN THE BUSINESS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Perrrrrrriod
She is 60? She looks fabulous. We all go through hard times, but she is thankful, and humble.
I’m very happy for Vanessa Williams! She’s beautiful and talented! My favorite former Miss America of all time!
She looks fabulous
Vanessa Williams has always been nothing but PURE CLASS, ELEGANCE, AND DISTINCTION! She is absolutely GORGEOUS even at 60!
❤I Love when flowers are given while their still here!🎉

Yes, you need to see the one with Cicely Tyson, called Ms Scrooge, it's great too.

You posted that same sermon farther up in the comments. NO need to post it twice.
A true survivor! I was a teen when she won and it's wonderful to see how she's fared over the years!👏
Sometimes the snow comes down in June, sometimes the sun goes ‘round the moon, just when I thought our chance had past, you went and saved the best for lasttttttt 🎶
She is a Phoenix in truth. Appreciate her so much for always standing in her own and speaking her truth 🩵🌟
She is just Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous. And those eyes are mesmerizing.
It's so nice to see her, beautiful as ever, wishing her many blessings 🙏🏽
Nice to see her... She looks her age and she looks good at her age.
Wow, I can't believe her age - she exudes a youthful energy - with an amazing smile.
Beautiful Vanessa Williams not too many celebrities I comment on or even truly admire, but she truly is one of simply the best!

Absolutely beautiful
She looks sooo goood ❤
Blue-eyed Beauty. Her voice is the silkiest, smoothest.
She looks fantastic even younger looking at 60. ❤❤❤ her!
No, she looks older than 60. Her skin is all snagged.She did not age well, sorry but lets be truthful . No hate here.
@@sonjaanderson6933 No hate, yet you said something hateful. I guess you weren't taught that if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. smh
@@sonjaanderson6933 nonsense honestly her face is smooth, her upper arms do not have batwings and she still has the same youthful face. Lovely looking woman.
Vanessa Williams Wow! Aging gracefully ❤
True
One of my favorite actresses ❤❤
Happy birthday pretty girl
Still one of the most beautiful woman on the planet. Talk about strong willed. 💪
Vanessa Williams ❤❤❤❤
Always been beautiful and very humble. I’m such a fan!
I just watched Ugly Betty. She was amazing. If you haven't watched, i urge you to watch her performance as Wilhelmina Slater.
She smoothly moved away from the topic of the past controversy and got into the now. True warrior and survivor.
Vanessa Williams is the epitome of the saying “You can’t keep a good girl down!” 💥🔥💯🎊👏🏾👍🏽🎉💝
I might have to watch that and get paramount plus. I didn’t know she had a singing competition with the queens performing.
I love her💖💖💖
She has one of the best public images today. She embraces her stage in life and reality. The "thankful" principle is key and I totally believe her when she said that is what keeps her radiating beauty.
Decent classy talented lady - love u Vanessa please keep signing , your voice is so soothing and perfect , been a fan always ! Love love to hear your Christmas cd’s every year !!! Stay safe ❤
Vanessa Williams continues to inspire me. I was a young girl when she won Miss America. I thank God for her and her accomplishments !!!
Vanessa still looks fabulous as ever! Her black dont crack is an understatement!
She’s had some help…
Aww, thank you, Tamron Hall show!!!
Vanessa Williams is an amazing person. Why doesn’t she get the credit she deserves.
she is absolutely correct-gratitude is the secret to longevity, happiness, and health!
She's aging like fine wine❤❤❤
I love Vanessa Williams ❤️. She's is a great actress and singer in her Disney princess.
She is a true queen diva. Tour de force!
Wow 60 she's soo beautiful she looks amazing
I remember the night she won Miss America. I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life. Flowers to you, Queen!
I love her so. I watch Dance With Me More than is normal. But she's so iconic. I owe her passion to pilates on being in great shape. The icon!!
Still looks beautiful...❤️❤️❤️
Wooooooow big 6-0 Woooow Vanessa Williams still love her
Who coined the phrase "Living Your Best Life" ? Especially when social media only shows you what they want you to see.
Living your best life is up to you. Making it to 60 is a blessing. Forget about social media
Live your best life anyway 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰💜💛❤️💚💙
Probably Oprah.🤷🏽♀️

Love everything about her soo amazing

60 is not old. Now 75 is when you're seasoned.
Any person past age 50 should be seasoned .
Patti Labelle 👀
You live up to 75 and make another comment!!! Please hush!!!!
I am a fan! I remember her song The Sweetest Days. I like the song.
Time is a Gift.
