Miss Nevada USA fired for racy photos

[LTR]

Miss Nevada USA was stripped of her title Thursday after racy photos of her appeared on the Internet, pageant officials said. Some of the photos show Katie Rees, 22, kissing other young women, exposing one of her breasts and pulling down her pants to show her thong underwear at a party in Tampa, Fla.

"Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA 2007," said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss USA pageant and others.

Rees' dismissal comes two days after Miss USA Tara Conner was allowed to keep her tiara when she admitted underage drinking at New York bars and agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.

32. wow

[WI_DEM]

2. lets face it these beauty pagents are for the birds anyway

but the contestants who participate and get crowned should know what to expect.

[Skittles]

4. those women are treated like sex objects

then fired for acting like sex objects

[Swamp Rat]

6. Donald Trump is the one who is 'offensive'

especially for wearing that poor, dead nutria on his head.

[WI_DEM]

7. I've always wondered why with Trump's money he couldn't buy himself a decent toupe

[madokie]

10. So right on

this is an example of why du is du.

[jazzjunkysue]

25. Don's hair = Pornography, or road kill.

Don't fire him. Comb him. Normally. Please.

[Skittles]

31. the very idea

of that disgusting piece of shit judging MY morals - shit, I would kick his f***ing ASS

17. Nail meet Hammer.

:thumbsup:

5. She should sue for discrimination

If Trump lets one "convince" him to give her a second chance, he must let them all have a "second chance".

Hey, it could just means that Ms. Rees didn't ask as "nicely" as Ms. Connor did.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

14. well...Trump doesn't own THAT pageant...

so that might have something to do with it.

sP

[ProdigalJunkMail]

16. awwwww crap...I wasted my 3000th post on THAT???

[jazzjunkysue]

26. Yep! n/t.

[Beaverhausen]

9. Crown them for nice tits and ass then penalize when they show them off?

:shrug:

[Clark2008]

15. Well, the tits are fake.

:7

11. What Did Former Congressman Henry Hyde Call Them....

...Oh yes, "Youthful Indiscretions."

In our culture, T&A rules. If you don't believe me, just ask Britany, Paris, and Lindsay.

[cool user name]

12. Why can't we just let these women be?

And where am I when this is all happening!?!?!!?!?

:evilgrin:

[muntrv]

13. Remeber Vanessa Williams? Somehow, I could see Katie Rees

becoming a household name.

[AspenRose]

18. She'll be on Howard Stern soon.

eom

[Deja Q]

19. Sad.

Especially with the obvious double standard regarding underage drinking...

[Botany]

20. She seems real friendly

:rofl:

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. Who can say it wasn't her way of bringing world peace?

There's bound to be less interest in war if people are distracted looking at saucy pics of her making out with another girl. Right?

[rollopollo]

23. Why is this bad?

They were at a party with friends. They were all adults, no children around. Someone said something about dignity; dignity is overrated. If you're not harming anyone, you shouldn't be penalized for it.

And this judgmentalism coming from a state whose tourist destination's motto is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"

[jazzjunkysue]

24. This shit kills me.

We all pretend like these pagents aren't about objectifying women, and then when one makes some serious dough from being a sex object, we get all pilgrim about it and brand her with a scarlet A.

And go out and buy more magazines, newspapers, movies, with women objectified in them.

Like we don't see that on the cover of 90% of all magazines each month.

The only magazine I know that can stay in business without a gorgeous model on the cover is Architectural Digest. Maybe PC World.

We have all gotta take a look in the mirror, people.

I mean, really.

29. These beauty pageants are vulgar displays of superficiality, imho.

You want girls to parade their bodies around stage and tease viewers with their good looks and sweet voices? Then go to a fucking strip club or go to the beach on a summer day and dispense with the whole "decency" charade. Don't pretend you're any better than guys gawking at pretty women on the strip or on the beach.

[misanthrope]

30. Who cares? There's far more to worry about...

...than some bimbo's brush with notoriety.

[CATagious]

33. damn those red stars!!! nfm

[Penndems]

34. Oh, dear . . .

:wow: :blush:

Reminds me of the photos that got Vanessa Williams in so much hot water when she was Miss America back in '84.
