Watch Miss America contestant’s heartwarming monologue about being a nurse
“Sources connected with the pageant tell TMZ, Vanessa agreed to appear at the beginning of the show where a Miss America official would apologize for forcing her to resign after the now-famous photos were unearthed”.
TMZ reported that both sides were at an “impasse” on Thursday, just two days before the Miss America pageant 2016.
During her routine at this week’s Miss America pageant, Miss Colorado decided to trade her makeup and dress for a stethoscope and scrubs to show the judges her heart more than her talent.
Watch Miss America 2016 Sunday starting at 9 p.m. on WWAY and ABC. “It’s truly an honor to welcome her back to the Miss America Pageant”. “I pray one day I’ll be on that stage”, said Claire McConnell of Union City, TN.
Sam Haskell, executive chairman and CEO of the Miss America Organization, said his friendship withWilliams predated the turmoil caused by the release of the photos.
The other judges include former Dancing with the Stars contestant Amy Purdy, singer Zendaya and American Sniper widow Taya Kyle.
“It’s full circle”, she said.
‘There’s a lot of people that do feel that I should return and they are inviting me back as an example of, “This is what can happen to you in your life,”‘ Williams smiled. “Vanessa and her family were hurt during the aftermath of the resignation, and that saddened me”.
She also contrasted the nature of scandal in the entertainment business in 1984 versus today, which sees starlets launching their careers with lewd videos and leaked nudes.
‘That’s insane, to think that you can look at a scandal and think that that would be good for your career, ‘ Vanessa marveled.
“Where for me, it took every ounce of credibility that I had and wiped it out”.
