“Form of justice”:
Gretchen Carlson, above, says it’s “a form of justice” that former Miss Americas like herself who were trashed in emails from former leaders of the organization now are in charge of it. On Friday’s “Good Morning America,” the former Fox News anchor said she will focus the Miss America Organization on empowering women. Carlson, Miss America 1989, was named chairwoman of the organization’s board this week in the wake of an email scandal that led to the ouster of the top leadership. Many of the new board members are former Miss Americas. “I find that incredibly empowering,” she said. “Some of the women who were allegedly maligned in those appalling emails are now running the place. It’s a form of justice.”
