It is neither shocking nor surprising that pageant culture is toxic.
Exactly!
This makes you question whats happening behind the Miss USA Organization.
Layla told noelia who was harassed by a man to deal with it since she's miss usa. I'm like WHAT?!
Yeah. And, not only question but also forming assumptions based on many things
The same things that happen on WALL STREET and everywhere!
Always been a criminal consortium.
They all want to point at men but I definitely bet you women were just being women as well and being vicious towards one another.
I’d just like to say as a former pageant titleholder that the problem is not coming from the state organization it is the national USA organization
What IS the problem? "Not being allowed to advocate for themselves" doesn't say much.
Are they being harassed? I assume it’s something dark and sinister.
Political
Were the pageant shoes painful to wear?
Who cares 🙄
It’s disturbing that in 2024 we are still making beautiful young women compete against each other. My 8 year old daughter has never seen a pageant, she doesn’t even know they exist. I don’t ever want her to feel less than anyone else.
Ikr! My daughter is almost 9 and she has never seen a pageant show. I got upset because my uncle said to her she could be miss American, and I was like “hell no!” My daughter asked me what it was so I explained it to her and my daughter turned to my uncle and stated “No, I wanna work in animation or be an editor.” My daughter loves to edit home videos and she is an amazing artist. I don’t want her to start thinking that her looks are more important than who you are as a person in life.
"These are two of the most prestigious titles in the United States." You've got to be kidding me.
Hilarious.
😂😂😂😂
Lol
No
They don’t want to be abused
@@annlavine3576 the whole concept of a beauty contest is abusive
Just get rid of these at this point. It's 2024; there are plenty of resources and opportunities for scholarships and career prospects for the modern young woman.
NO.
Aw, man. I got the CHILLS when I heard “I am silenced.” Good on these women who are stopping the abusive cycle. Proves that they truly are worthy role models!
Some fan made it up by looking for letters that would work. She ignored the ones that didn’t. 🙄
@@leannemo7382first letter of every sentence on the screenshot I took. It’s relevant, contextual and uncommon.
To quote Dennis Reynolds: "Beauty pagents are an American tradition, but not a proud one"
Beauty Pagents give more scholarships to women than any other organization including athletics. FIX that and you can then shame Beauty Pagents.
Why? Beauty is not evil my friend
The days of beauty pageants are well past us… or should be.
These Pageants time has come and gone. It's been toxic and controlling even before the social media age, anytime there's a requirement to sign an NDA should tell you that they're hiding something or something nefarious is going on.
Doesn't anybody remember when Trump told Howard Stern that he walked in the the girls in their dressing rooms in various stages of undress? If that's a kind of industry norm...? It makes me wonder if that's the type of thing they're leaving over.
It's not a industry norm. It's the organization Miss USA, the same one that Trump owned
I still think he should have been arrested over that. Being rich shouldn’t give you a free pass to sexually harass and violate young women.
@time2livelife you're darn right, he should have been arrested, charged, and imprisoned over that one! 😤🙄
Maybe beauty queen shouldn’t be an “industry “ in the first place.
Amen!
Yup….lots of broken little girls that aren’t up to those standards 🥺
Free country . Are you a communists?
@@saythankyou111Those girls should not compete then.
First of all, it should come as no surprise that these pageants are toxic because it's been talked about for years but nobody cared. Second of all, these women are going to get way more publicity and opportunities from stepping down then they would by performing their roles/duties.
Good point-who cares any longer about "beauty queens"?
Actually I used to do pageants when I was a teenager and I found them to be really great in a lot of ways. They help girls with opportunities, self esteem and public speaking. I was in some Miss America prelims and some Miss USA prelims. They are very different pageants or at least they were in the late 80's early 90's when I did them. In Miss USA, Talent used to be judged as 50% of your score but I think I remember that Miss USA Prelims don't even have a talent competition. I think instead they did a daywear thing. Yes it's a little odd to have girls up there in their swimsuits but overall I really enjoyed the five pageants I was in. I never won any but I placed second runner up in one and also miss congeniality and miss photogenic. I cherish those awards. Young girls don't usually get enough positive reinforcement to do anything unusual or reach for the stars-ish. Pageants really helped me and gave me more self esteem. I totally know what you mean that it seems that they're toxic but for the most part it really was wonderful. I look back now and remember that most of the girls were wonderful, positive and forward looking, thinking and dreaming. That's hard to find because everyone always wants to talk you out of pursuing your dreams.
@@talktothehandreviewsI would be onboard if not for the fact the women have to wear swimsuits and seemingly a ton of makeup to win. Seems like an old fashioned practice.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also won a small scholarship in one of the pageants. It was not huge but it was enough to pay for all of my books that semester. Overall pageants were great for me personally.
@@RA-wp6th Every woman wears that much makeup nowadays, honestly. Women in the public eye are expected to look like that or they are eviscerated by their public. Also, every pageant contestant has a sponsor she sort of has to please. Most of mine in the five pageants I was in were great but I had one sponsor who was a jerk. Still, what I got out of it greatly outweighed the negative aspects. A lot of girls/women don't get many chances to do anything like what pageants have to offer so I do think overall I would recommend them to young girls looking for new opportunities. I would even recommend them to older women as there are also pageants geared toward older women. Swimsuits seem a little out dated but then even in bodybuilding competitions women wear bikinis. I won a small scholarship when I placed second runner up in one of the pageants I was in and so that did pay for my books for school. The Miss America preliminary pageants used to call themselves a 'scholarship pageant', I don't know if they still do. Anyhooo, just my two cents. Cheers!
Why the hell are they still participating in these things? So weird.
Because there are black people on TV and they're advertising soap! ~ Joe Biden.
The contestants believe that this is a good path for fame and career opportunities. They often don't realize the toxicity of the industry. Look at Donald Trump's leadership of the Miss Universe pageant.
College moneull
Scholarship money!
Thank you!!
Oh a completion based on judging women by their size and appearance is toxic, you don’t say!!! Also - Shouldn’t plastic surgery disqualify you from a beauty pageant? Like athletes and steroids
Yes, and biological men on female hormones.
I had no idea these pageants were still 'a thing'.
Oh yeah! They're irrelevant and unpopular here in the states but Latin America, Africa and Asia, beauty pageants are huge! They're like politicians and celebrities there
They’re actually more relevant now than ever before..
It isn't. It never was.
Yes@@AgentAO7
@@airtioteclint it really depends on the circles you hang around with. I don't follow sports, couldn't care less but they are a big deal for others.
I don't understand pageantry - it seems so 1970. It's 2024 and there's gotta be a better way of encouraging and uplifting young women rather than having them be "displayed".
I tried to become Miss Maryland this year, but because I didn’t have the money or support system to join, I ended up not going on board, which may be for the best.
On top of mental health concerns as mentioned in this video, what happened on the phone was when I told the person on the other line that my parents at the time bully me weekly, she didn’t care. She only cared about my money, despite the fact that I already had a beautiful résumé and references to go off of.
I’m sorry, but I don’t think it’s right for these organizations to put money and selfish desires first over the well-beings of those who wish to join in the first place.
Is the organization in this case being truthful about respecting decisions? Maybe, but until more is revealed, I hope that more beauty organizations would make beauty pageants less about money and power.
Fortunately, I have met some photographers and filmmakers in the Midsouth who do put responsibility first so shoutout to them. ❤❤❤
Why do we even have these pageants
It's a form of mental-illness "medication."
I enjoyed them in my younger years.
Isn’t it weird? I’ve never heard of guys doing pageants. I remember seeing a few VERY FEW in toddlers and tiaras but it was mainly little girls. Let alone grown men competing in pageants.
Scholarships
Men do have pageants. They call it bodybuilding.
That comment from the CEO also contained the letters to spell "I am silenced!"....creepy!!
It wasn't the comment from the CEO... It was the letter from the woman who resigned from the Miss USA title...
You don't actually believe that-do you? Because I can find 100 other "hidden messages" in that statement and every statement-ever written.
@@leonardodalongislandliterally the first letter in every sentence spells out I AM SILENCED. Now take a book, open it on a random page, and see whether the first letters of each sentence spell a coherent, contextual sentence.
It’s not that common, it doesn’t happen to every statement and it is a big deal (to quote Rachel in FRIENDS 😂 )
@@colinoswald2 So here's the way "codes" work; more than one person has to know that a "code" is being used. If I make a "code" in a document yet tell no one-then it's a waste of time. The girl who wrote this did not tell anyone she was writing in "code. And! You apparently have NO idea how difficult it is to write a logical-relevant document that must adhere to a strict meter designed to spell out a secret message-using only the first letter of the first word.bla bla.....Not for one second do I think the writer here has the "smarts" to do this. Keep in mind, the average IQ of "beauty contestants," is about 95-well below"smart."
@@leonardodalongisland SIT YNK.. The first word of each of your sentences. Like this video, I can make up what this means too.
bro these pageants always been bad.
OBVIOUSLY this needs to be INVESTIGATED. There may be CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
Good point.
May be ? LOL..THERE IS GO TO HARVARD,HOLLYWOOD IS PACKED UP,DEMONIC CULTURE. GOD IS IN THE DETAILS.
A "toxic environment" in a competition aimed to judge dozens of women's physical appearance based superficial biased standards and promoting artificial enhancements? Shocking
What is the “direction” of an organization that parades women around and values them solely on their looks, which they had no part in obtaining. 🤷🏾♂️
🎯
You’d be surprised with how much work it takes to look like that.
@@thezu9250Most of the people in the comments have clearly never participated in modelling. It’s about more than just being born beautiful, you have to watch your weight, skin, hair, teeth and have personality. You also have to be athletic or talented in some way and not to mention being intelligent or at least college/university bound.
OMG 0:54 Dani Walker!!! Our Queen
Omg!!!! Yas! I’m sure this is not how Dani wanted to bring attention to pageants but she really is a trailblazer and such an amazing advocate for these women. Make her owner on the Miss USA organization!!!
@@glaznflip1501I agree👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So glad she is a prolific figure
I can’t believe they still have these.
When are we going to stop making women parade in front of men for their approval?!
I also was in the biz, runway model. lose 10 lbs always being repeated when I was 5’10 and 125 lbs 🙄 they not allowed to gain a gram it’s toxic.
Layla Rose (CEO of the Miss USA pageant)- I am the supreme ruler. You do what I say. If you disagree, I will punish and you will wish you never met me. PURE EVIL.
Where are the plain girl pageants?
Academic scholarship 😝😂 I say this as a plain girl.
we need a pageant for the "girl from next door" now.
Let's make it happen.❤ Sincerely a nerdy plain girl. 👸🏾🤓
it would be offensive to even do a plain Jane in a woke society they would turn around and sue later
@@august21xp It's just fun rhetoric, serious person.
I hate that whenever pageants get press it had to be for a negative reason.
Behind these large systems with directors who only care about themselves and making money, there are small pageants that care about the well-being of you women, and promote sisterhood and pursuing your dreams. Please don’t think this is all there is to pageantry.
True, Westminster is a great pageant.
prestigious to whom?
I saw that. That made me laugh
Most prestigious pageant titles they mean
“This is a form of a whistle blowers call!”
Agreed!
Time too look into Any and All NDAs involving these Groups. Sounds like Human Trafficking.
I think these pageants have become obsolete.
Dani Walker pageant vlogger extraordinaire on GMA!
Love her!!!!
Pageant coach sounds like a jerk. She has every right to change her mind. Maybe she doesn’t want to be controlled.
Welp, there goes world peace.
😂😂
in the past they showed some editions of miss usa and miss america in the philippines..they were really very entertaining to watch esp all those beautiful women..more important , the way they answered the final question and answer portion of the contest was truly amazing..those questions were really difficult..i doubt i could answer them well out of thin air despite having two postgraduate degrees
They give contestants a long list of possible questions. They don't know which question they will be asked, but they know they will be asked one on the list. The answers are not completely spontaneous.
@@cjsparkle100 well its like a final exam , you study the subject you will be asked about..you have to understand the subject to get passing grades otherwise mere rote memorization will not work
Dani Walker needs to be the director
Full support for these ladies as they recover from whatever they were put through!
I think it's strange that these pageants still exist in a 21st century world.
The time to get rid of this "meat market" is long overdue. One of the most sexist things out there.
Is this still a happening. I mean come on it’s 2024
Of course it is…we more shallow than ever before!
Not judging anyone who participates…. I was in one in high school and it was the creepiest experience I’ve ever had.
Why are we STILL Doing This ?!? It's a "cattle call" "fresh meat" etc. Who funds these things!?!??
Burkas are the future.
Blah blah blah, Silly,. Why do we still have models on the fashion runaways, we should have robots modeling or everything in 3D. 😒 (Ironic comment).
@@melis6294Fashion models are there to promote clothing and style but pageants seem so outdated.
Donald Trump was a prime-big $upporter of them
From one controversy to the next. We were all rooting for every single leader that took on the role of managing Miss USA. What a heartbreak and disappointment to see that they didn’t have the values they claimed. Actions speak louder than words. How sad to see Miss USA lose all its credibility over the last few years due to poor management. Noelia and UmaSofia deserved to have an amazing reign. They will forever be the incredible Miss USA 2023 and Miss Teen USA 2023 duo no matter what💖
The organization, unfortunately, has seen better years.
Ever since Trump tried to get involved they have been unable to clean up there toxic work envoirment.
My older sister was a pageant queen. Most pageants are toxic AF!
In the state of New Jersey A Non Disclosure is illegal.
Actually here in Jersey NDA’s are illegal in various employment situations. There isn’t an across the board banning,in certain situations they are legal.
@@gcchair7634 Which ones are legal. Compared to keep this lady being kept quiet..
I think non disclosure paperwork needs to STOP !
I have great admiration for both women. Their move was historic, unprecedented, and was the wakeup call the Organization needs. SHAME SHAME SHAME on the Organization for allowing this to ever happen. It will be many years before they fully recover, if ever! Best wishes, better mental health, and great success is wished to both the resigned Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.
No one makes them do this. They choose to. And then don't want to take on the responsibility.
We are still doing pagents? Thought those got canned back in 2016
Could be Eating disorder issues, which are linked to depression and anxiety.
Time to stop objectifying women.
2024 is that year!!
Indeed!!
this is about the genocide unfolding
Unfolding where?
@@AgentAO735,000+ Palestinians murdered with money and weapons from the U.S. Americans’ tax dollars actively facilitating the extermination of the people in Gaza, most of these deaths being women and children. It’s disgusting. This country might as well be called The United States of Israel.
@@AgentAO7Eyes. On. Rafah.
These pageants are another way of instilling false values in our young women. Both said they were having mental health issues. Good that they value their lives more than any beauty prize.
What happen with the price money?
Holy sh*t… the hidden message is nuts! You go girls! Speak your truth!
I am not sure what is more surprising...the fact that they resigned or that they didnt expect the environment to be toxic. I mean, it is a major pageant steeped in misogyny and ridiculousness. C'mon...I think that Gen Z are sweet but incredibly naive about the reality...the way the world functions in a lot of ways.
I find it unbelievable AND ridiculous that anyone in the pageant industry, especially the contestants, need to sign an NDA!!! That along sends up red flags!! NDAs just allow superiors to essentially treat someone as they wish with no legal outlet for the person who signed the NDA. It is alarming that beauty contestants need to sign one.
There appears to be something common with these two pageant winners. I am wondering if that has something to do with the reason they both resigned. I will wait for more facts.
You have literally shown thousands of girls and women how important it is to stand up for yourself! Thank you.
So what is the problem exactly?
I just wonder if what happened to the Miss USA from 2019 has any ties to the current scandal? If not, mental health is so very important.
This and the boy scouts need to go. I still want those girl scout cookies though...maybe just move to retail?
Then there was the thing that the Girl Scout cookies were made with exploitive girl labor in other countries and palm oil causing major deforestation.
How much y'all wanna bet they still put this win on their resume?😅
So much for resigning 😕
why shouldn't they, sounds like they spent up t eight years preparing and competing, before being treated so badly they resigned after all that time
Why did they compete in the first place???!!!!!
I was surprised to see Dani Walker in the video! But, not that surprised. She is a RUclipsr who has a channel devoted to pagents.
Good for them 🫶
You have to salute these two ! Hopefully the tide is turning! "Shock waves" if you have your eyes clapped closed!
😮😮😮😮 this is scaring me.... 😨
What is going on? Must be huge if title holders are walking away. What is expected that they can't abide?
Work. Being places at a certain time. Responsibility. Charities. You have to be above reproach.
@@barbrice721 judt competing requires all those things including excessively hard work. So it can't be "work" or being where you're expected.
What I'm saying is. When they want it they will work to get it. Then when they get it they only want the good stuff. MO ey fame. You basically ally give your life to doing what they say for a year. That's the price you pay.
@@barbrice721 Again, I find that premise hard to accept. This is a new phenomenon. What's different now? Why now? Are you saying the women suddenly got lazy and entitled?
@@mamatrain100 OK. Whats your take?
I still don't know exactly why they resigned!
Good for them
I was taught to notate:
Date, time, by whom, was anyone else there, exactly
what was said...
And keep the notes forever!
Heartbreaking and should not be happening
Time to stop this ridiculous competition amongst women. I'm going to step out abit here, but because trafficking of women is at an all time high, I am just wondering if....,you know, there were attempts.
Did they ban makeup?
These are teenagers?! Sick.
Why isn't there a Miss Stepford Wife pageant?
Wasn't there a Miss USA who jumped off her apartment building a few yrs ago?
And did they also surrender all the perks and goodies they received? Should and they should make them give them up.
likely, they will get more money for the trauma they experienced once the lawsuits begin
Wow 😳 one day we will learn a lot more
Obviously it's not being taken seriously or they wouldn't be resigning 🤔
Mental health are for those who respect their bodies! GO girls and stand up from dirt bullies!
Of course the truth is coming to light and these nonsensical pageants will be forever laid to rest.
Congratulations Miss USA
Miss USA and Teen USA will never be closed or stop. Poor of these two girls who resigned because they will be removed from the clusters of winners. Maybe they speaks out about their ill- feelings toward the organization when their reign is over.
If it were a top priority, they’d release from the NDA
It's the management that they don't like
I didn’t even know that pageants still existed.
Self worth before net worth! Great value to have and rare these days 🙏❤️🙏
The wellbeing of our title holders is paramount? Really when did this Start?
Did the Judge give Donald time off to harass pageant participants!
Looks like old Bill Clinton has been using his power to assault females again like he did to poor Monica .
KUDOS 🎉 TO THEM!!! ❤❤
But why???
Is anyone really surprised by this news?
Beauty pageants needed to end years ago!!!
Why? Nobody is forcing anybody to do anything. If some people want to participate, let them.
I pretty much stopped watching the beauty pageants about 10 years ago.
