Trump Lets Miss USA Keep Her Job

NEW YORK -- Miss USA Tara Conner, who had come under criticism amid rumors she had been frequenting bars while underage, will be allowed to keep her title, Donald Trump announced Tuesday.

"I've always been a believer in second chances," Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization with NBC, said with Conner at his side.



Trump said he and Conner had met earlier Tuesday morning.

"She left a small town in Kentucky and she was telling me that she got caught up in the whirlwind of New York," Trump said. "It's a story that has happened many times before to many women and many men who came to the Big Apple. They wanted their slice of the Big Apple and they found out it wasn't so easy."

Conner won the title in April and has been living in New York. Recent media accounts of heavy drinking brought a storm of criticism, since she was underage at the time. She turned 21 on Monday.

In a tear-choked voice, Conner said, "In no way did I think it would be possible for a second chance to be given to me."

Turning to Trump, she said, "You'll never know what this means to me, and I swear I will not let you down."

Trump said Conner would be entering rehab.

If she had been dethroned, her title would have been taken over by first runner-up Miss California Tamiko Nash.

Conner, a 5-foot-5 blonde, has been competing in pageants since age 4. After winning the Miss USA title in April, she finished fourth in the Miss Universe pageant in July.

In 2002, Miss Russia Oxana Fedorova won the Miss Universe pageant but was stripped of her title after violating her contract. Trump said Fedorova didn't show up for some photo shoots and charity events. It was the first time a titleholder had been ousted in the contest's more than 50-year history. Fedorova denied she was fired and said she gave up the title voluntarily.

Apparently there was more to this story at least from what read on line involving some other behavior that was probably more... uhm... questionable than just drinking under age.. kind of surprised she got another chance, usually what was reported would have cost her her titlle..

That all being said , I agree with OT's sentiment for choice 3, who gives a rats arse.

here is a quote from an article on line... can't find the one I redearlier today but itwent into much more graph detail

Donald the Forgiving?

In a move that shocked anyone who has ever seen "The Apprentice," including Tara Conner, Donald Trump announced Tuesday morning that he will not fire the embattled Miss USA, despite allegations of drug use, underage drinking and sexual misconduct.


The sexual miscnduct was either with the 18 year ol Miss Teen of Trumps pagents or just a contestant... I can't remember... Also "sexual" dancing at the night club.... I saw it on the guy who does the Dilbert comic strip Blog after it flashed on my netscape "nes of the day" when I opened it up today.

It is not hard to believe a girl who has been in beauty pageants since the age of 4 would have totally messed up priorities. How can parents do that to their kids? :mad:

Taking her crown away would have probably given him a few days publicity. But giving her a second chance and letter her go into Rehab now that will give him a few months of good press. We will get a boost in the story when she gets out.

Then there will be hype when it comes crowning time at the next pageant.

Trump is a business man and giving her a second chance was good business.

He nor anyone really cares what this girl did, was not like she was out trying to bring world peace to the everyone or something. Just a superficial hot blond.

PS. Miss Kansas or Oklahoma should have won anyway so I voted to take the crown away. :lol:

#1..He should have taken the crown. Granted it's not the end of the world but he's instantly lowered the " standards" that have already been set.

#2.. I don't like Rosie, but she nailed Trump with her impersonation and on some points she was right.

# 1..I agree he should have taken her crown,if shes representing a country she should have standards to follow.{ I personally hate pageants and what they stand for}

# 2...Don't have much respect for Donald,but man does Rosie have to make EVERYTHING about her and her opinion :roll:




Wasn't there a woman who lost her crown a few years ago?

I saw both Trump and Rosie on O'Reilly tonite throwing personal attacks and lawsuit threats back and forth-- and they both looked like two drunk High School kids in the gutter saying I'm better than you are.... :gag:

One calls the other a "fat Lesbian"-- the other calls the other back " a bankrupt homebreaker".... :roll:

No wonder I can't stand either one.....

I still say " Who gives a rats arse"....There is a whole h-e-(double toothpicks) lot more things in this world happening than beauty queens, rich egotists, or lesbian TV show personalities all looking for more publicity........
