One thing I have noticed is it seems like R’Bonney has been completely on her own since she won. I don’t think she has gotten any of the prizes promised for the winner and I think it’s sad she’s getting the short end of the stick. I feel like Heather is trying to make it more R’Bonneys fault than it is and that’s where I’m kind of getting annoyed. We can NOT act like she wasnt deserving of winning. I’m sure she will keep her title and I hope she slays at Miss Universe.

[@kennethrjackman6563]

You just stated that Paula Shugardt is potentially in possession of controlled medications (and potentially illegal drugs) that are not prescribed to her. That would be illegal possession and punishable by law. Tara Conner's drug problem was after the Miss Universe pageant, and was not suspected to be part of a scheme to be chosen as Miss USA. R'Bonny's issue is that it is alleged (and pretty obvious) that she participated in activities that benefited her during Miss USA. Very differs situations. I don't doubt the R'Bonny couldn't have won the title without assistance. Again, not the issue. Frequently favorites don't win. My choice was Miss Nebraska. I felt she was the most impressive candidate during the televised show. Her final Q& A was so much better than any of the others'.

Don't these girls think it is unfair for both ladies to be put on the spot like that? And if Ms USA doesn't make it, they will say because it's favoraitism and the girls were not deserving to win. If they aren't deserving then who is????? Can't they just accept the fact that in every contest only 1 girl will win, and unfortunately it's not them!

True! In fact, she didn’t make it to the semifinals at all. With her attitude which shows her being bitter, jealous, and hypocritical… why would she even qualify?

[@bcsjr6161]

Well I certainly wouldn’t hire her as an attorney. I am a retired attorney and the first question if you would retain me is would you really spend money for an attorney to try to negotiate revisions to those provisions before you sign it? Do you honestly think the organization would say oh sure….we agree to that change. My next question is if they felt so much injustice whey didn’t they just hire their own attorney. They seem to be relying on attorneys who don’t represent them. I doubt they would have found any attorney that would even agree with their position. We Americans are generally litigious. Can you tell me why not one single disgruntled contestant filed a lawsuit against the organization for breach of contract or fraud? I smart lawyer who thinks there is a lot of merit will take the case on a contingency basis. This woman simply just wants the attention in pursing this matter and get numerous clicks on social media.

[@zlab13]

Why would the organization feel the need to reserve itself the exclusive right/authority to supersede/supplant the judging panel's decision? That's the more pertinent question. That opens up a whole can of worms, as indicated by these allegations.

[@bcsjr6161]

And yet 50 contestants read the contract and signed off on it. Not one of these contestants had a friend or family member who was a lawyer who pointed it out and said oh don’t sign this its so unfair? And I think Dani told you why these provisions are there and I find those reasons reasonable as she herself does.

@@zlab13 I would also look at the state pageant contracts. I would be willing to make a bet at least one of these would have similar provisions for the same reasons.

[@zlab13]

@bcsjr6161 Reasonable is not the same as right. You present a judging panel to the public, which everyone assumes will determine the winner, and then you hear the organization has what amounts to veto power over who wins. By highlighting a particular contestant, thus giving her an unfair advantage, the organization is telegraphing (nod and a wink) to the judges that she would be an acceptable winner.

Pre-IMG era, there were always favouritism in Miss USA and Miss Universe. The co-owner had a lot of his personal favourite made it to the finals and the girls was judged by the preliminary judges and members of MUO. I won’t be surprised if it continues with Crystal’s organisation. Favouritism from the National director couldn’t be influence by the panel of judges in the finals. Personally, Texas was my front runner for Miss USA 2022. In the finals, She did better in the Q&A which captured the crown. I had my concerns about the retreat and suspect that it will cause an issue. And finally it did this year. It would be best that Miss Texas USA and Miss USA should not have similars prizes.

So Miss Montana had valid points initially. All the contestants who had concerns voices should be heard. However, after the pending investigation and the preliminary findings, it seems there is a select group of contestants who only want to see R'Bonney dethroned. It seems like misguided effort and angst under the umbrella of 'fairness' because their assumptions were not proven to be true. Dani, I totally agree. There are some optics regarding the production of the Miss USA pagent that need to be addressed for transparency. But direct the outrage towards the system, but not the contestants. I also find it slick that Miss Montana USA seems to elude that the entire class of contestants are upset. When we have only heard from a couple that share her views. Bottomline, R'Bonney is a fantastic woman, and her strength of character is amazing having to endure this controversy. If there were concrete proof of obvious favoritism, it would have been leaked by now. We should support our Miss USA and hope she will bring home the crown at Miss Universe which we all know she is capable of doing.

Also like you said Dani, at the end of the day, it’s an ENTERTAINMENT show produced for television & streaming. As someone who watches a lot of reality competitions, it’s like, we hear about “riggeries” all the time. Producers hv the liberty to “rig” shows purely based on entertainment value. A little bit of drama does make shows more enjoyable for us viewers. It’s about viewership, it’s about making money. Favoritism or not, it’s about making money at the end of the day. It can not be fun to be on the other end of favoritism tho. Favoritism sucks, the ladies deserve transparency. I hope these ladies are proud of themselves and know that they are beautiful and did great at the show. Given miss USA was a live show, from we could see, RBonney deserved the title. Saying that her title should be removed if she had breached her contract is premature and legit, a hate crime lol sorry I watch too much campy content.

The problem for me is how the story isn’t being kept straight- first they do essentially say the pageant was rigged (even though they maintain they said favoritism, but to the average person rigging and favoritism are the same, so they’re just arguing semantics which just sounds ridiculous), then when people say to back off R’Bonney, they bring up the other valid issues, but they also endorse articles that use the word “rigged,” then they back off that and focus on the other issues, but when the results are that there was no rigging, they’re arguing semantics. Again, it just feels like they wanted to bring light to the other valid issues but knew the only way to really get attention was to claim rigging, but if they admit that, people will question everything else which they don’t want, so they’ve just created a messy situation for everyone. I also think seeing all the pageant pages promoting R’Bonney because she factually is a top tier pageant contestant has affected their perception of things even though you’d think they’d know by now pages are going to promote someone like her.

[@LoveLaw]

It’s interesting. Back in 2017 Demi Lee Nel Peters won the South African pageant. There were also whispers among contestants that she was receiving favoritism and they felt it was unfair that she hired herself a pageant coach (weird take but ok😅). If you look at the moment she’s crowned the runner-up is visibly rolling her eyes. She also then went on to win Miss Universe that year which must have felt so great and solidified that she deserved the Miss SA title to begin with. This is a bit different because Miss SA is not owned by IMG so in the case of R’Boney it might not disprove favoritism by winning Miss Universe, but I bet it still feels amazing. Also, in the pageant world an organization can choose who they want. It’s that simple. You go for a job interview the workplace can select who they want. I don’t see any grounds for a lawsuit and doing it this publicly just makes you seem petty. We all know some pageants choose their winner based on the brands that are sponsoring the pageant that year as well as current events. You are hiring a model to represent your brand, so obviously you choose one that will best represent the image you want to convey. If that means favoritism then so be it. Miss World chose Miss Poland the year the war in Ukraine started. The first time Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss USA teen were black happened around the time BLM was huge and IMG was facing backlash for lack of diversity. Honestly the TOP 16 delegates are usually all amazing and any one of them can be a great ambassador for a brand like Miss Universe or Miss USA, so why not choose the one that fits the brand’s plans for the year ahead? Basically what makes these women think they deserved the title more than R’Boney did?

At the end of the day, if Miss Texas got more exposure is because she caught their eye from the beginning, you can’t force people to like you. It’s in the contract that they can pick whoever they want to win so how would there have been a breach of contract?

[@queenesquiresquad]

I’m so happy R’bonney won Miss Universe!! The Miss USA competitors treated Rbonney so badly and were jealous of Rbonney! However, yesterday Rbonney proved to the entire UNIVERSE that she is the BEST contestant and RIGHTFULLY EARNED BOTH the Miss USA and Miss Universe titles! Also, it was so beautiful for R’bonney to receive so much love and hugs by all of the women in the Miss Universe competition! So all the evil that those USA girls displayed towards Rbonney at the Miss USA competition should feel ashamed of themselves. 🤦🏾‍♀️Even IF the USA competitors felt the competition was not fair, it was WRONG for them to take their frustrations out on Rbonney and not show congratulatory support. The Miss Universe competitors displayed TRUE class, grace, and dignity by showing RBONNEY The love and support that she rightfully deserved. 💕💕💕 Heather is just a “mean girl.” It seems she is directly trying to attack the character of Rbonney by claiming she “broke her contract.” How did she break her contract?! At first, Heather said they were not going after Rbonney, but the more she speaks, the more she tells on herself and reveals her underlying jealousy and hatred/vendetta against Rbonney. Heather never even stood a chance in the USA competition. She was cut from the competition in the first round. So I’m confused why is she even speaking. If anything, the top 10 should be the most vocal. Not Heather who didn’t even stand a chance. Period This investigation is moot as Rbonney is the new Miss Universe and the first runner up in Miss USA organization will now have the USA title. So there’s no point in the investigation at this point. Congratulations R’bonney!❤❤❤

[@ronfarkas]

It was quite telling that R'bonney drove by herself in a minivan to New Orleans instead of leaving with the pomp & circumstance that larger pageant orgs are known for. Miss USA being in limbo means she hasn't really had the backing she would've received otherwise. I can't wait for her reign to end so she can finally let all this out.

Aren't pageants all about favorites anyway tho? I mean judges score contestants off of personal preference in each round right? There's no technical scoring, nothing that says a contestant gets "x" amount of points for looking at the camera at the right moment or smiling/posing at the right moment, I mean everything is subjective to the judges personal preference, aka, favorite 🤷🏽‍♂️.. Also, the contestant in these videos honestly comes across like she's just trying to capitalize from the situation. Describing the law office and the whole selfie thing was kind of cringey to me.

Do you think that’s fair? Are sponsors being biased? I need your input!!! ❤❤❤

[@DaniWalker]

Sponsors or the MU org do that every year. Only certain contestants are selected for telecast commercials, b-roll etc. I don't mind that some contestants are chosen and some aren't. I just wish that all contestants had at least one opportunity to work with a sponsor or be featured in the B-roll footage. Some contestants end up sitting in their room during the pageant because they aren't selected to work with sponsors, etc.

Hi Dani, can you enlighten me as I am rather confused by Montanas rants… first they claim they wanted the investigation focused on favouritism and mistreatment of contestants .. so why is she then saying they want R’Bonney to be investigated for breach of contract which would lead her to not compete at Miss Universe? These are two separate issues - one is connected to actions allegedly committed by Miss USA Org (favouritism and mistreatment) while Montana is also alleging R’bonney also breached her contract which is a separate matter altogether in the eyes of the law … so not sure whether they’re targeting R Bonney herself not just Miss USA .. what did R Bonney actually breach in her contract for her to be dethroned?

[@DaniWalker]

I have the same questions that you have.

[@nelsonalvira2894]

The delight and enjoyment that this girl displays on destroying the reputation of an amazing young woman whose outstanding performance and striking beauty not only cautívate the judges and the local and international audience is simple evil. And that’s the reason why this type of girls don’t win. The organization can afford to have a problematic individual as the winner of the title.

[@nelsonalvira2894]

CAN NOT afford to have.

[@zlab13]

What does "problematic" mean? Should the little miss be compliant and submissive and voiceless, just mouthing the organization's platitudes.? How does that square with women's empowerment? I've heard that before: If you don't fit the norm, you're deemed "problematic," and you're eliminated, thus averting potential problems. There was a time when black girls were barred from competing, perhaps because they didn't fit the mold.

Dani, your videos are greatly appreciated. I think that Miss Montana is purely looking for "clout."

[@lovelypolishperson5566]

the judges should spend more time with contestants, like several days at least; they won't be able to choose the right person if they only see them for several minutes during the show

[@zlab13]

Respectfully, by your logic, the entire pageant would be a farce. Why have a judging panel? Anoint a winner - a chosen, hand-picked one. Forget the scoring criteria. We, the organization, know what we want. Who fits our profile. Who will best represent us. This year, we need a Latina. The girls from Latin America always do well. The Filipino girls almost always place, too. Let's get a half-Filipino in there. Maybe, with her American background, she'll beat the full Filipina. Or, black girls seem to be trending, so let's hustle one up in there. I only cite these absurdities to show how ridiculous those propositions are. They come down to biases, personal whims, and even stupidity. It would undermine the entire fabric and integrity of the organization/pageant. That's why the organization can't be involved in surreptitiously "selecting" a winner with any backroom shenanigans.
