Miss America board under fire
Former Miss Americas Mallory Hagan, Gretchen Carlson and Kate Shindle are standing together and demanding that the entire board of the Miss America Organization step down in the wake of insulting internal emails that were recently made public.
The board announced a plan Wednesday night to form a committee that would seek “a new leadership structure and respective names” after the resignations of three top executives on Saturday.
The committee would include two current board members and five people chosen from nominations made by select former Miss Americas and state-level pageant executives, the board said in a statement.
