Kind of surprising to hear them use victim blaming language - "what did you expect?" Well they clearly didn't expect a the levels of toxicity that they were met with and shouldn't be held back from speaking up. The way to clean those messes up is to bring attention to them and that’s what they're trying to do. I say good for them.
My thoughts exactly.
To the larger lady in the blazer, we can say the same about you being a host/journalist. If you are harrassed, stalked, assaulted why should you be believed as its part of the job right being in the public eye? How insensitive and extremely rude of you to say in essence that Miss USA at 24 should question why she even entered as this kind of abuse is likely to occur! Says who?! This is supposed to be a female empowerment platform that celebrates all things we as women enjoy: Beauty, Brains, Charity, Fitness and Fashion! Just because you do not feel confident enough to enter doesn't mean other women shouldn't 'or its their fault '! Women like you should look in the mirror and ask yourself are YOU helping to empower women or silence them? This platform should be a fun, wonderful experience filled with opportunities to influence, encourage and impact others. It teaches women to represent themselves and their countries boldly and confidently without trying to be masculine! They deserve ti be celebrated not further abused by people like you. Fix the owners, and focus on exposing their abuse
Exactly! For her to say that they should’ve known what they were getting themselves into is absolutely a disgraceful statement and extremely unprofessional! No pageant girl would ever enter if they knew they were getting into an abusive situation.
@@skysthelimit6820 1000% thank you!
Beauty comes from the inside LOL. Is that really what women think? Then why all the makeup and obesity gaslighting?
It comes from the inside, but it might or might not emerge onto the surface.
@@archmage_of_the_aether Men are visual, there's no getting around it. Truly awful, evil women can still be gorgeous. It DEFINITELY helps if they're cool though.
@@wekurtz72You don’t have to worry about it. You’d be lucky to get any woman-beautiful or not.
@@malloryrenee9785 Wow personal attacks. Anyway, too late, I married the last fit woman in America.
@@malloryrenee9785 lol, 😀
Beauty pageants are for sure outdated.
Some people really like them. They have a place.
@@kayakMike1000 exactly. if pageants are outdated so are football and other sports because why are men wearing tights are running around on a field attacking each other and giving each other CTE just so they can play with a ball? like football, pageants have a place and serve a purpose
Yeah we have Instagram now for beauty contests
Not necessarily; but changes are definitely called for.
The women in these pageants go through a great deal, one would imagine, to prepare and train for these events, as well as the monetary and life sacrifices. For these women to suddenly "step down" is odd. Maybe something happened that they were not actually ready to take the leap or sell their souls. Not everyone will sell their souls for money or position. No one will know the truth except these young women and the pageant leaders.
Bodybuilding shows are pageants
Except for the last two sentences in Noelia’s statement, the first letter of each sentence spells out a hidden message: I AM SILENCED.😮
It must be so difficult being 10/10 beautiful and famous. There should be a charity for women who are 9+.
If she's not already writing the movie script, somebody else will be.
My daughter participates in pageants. Any time you're asked to sign an NDA, it's a red flag, which means there is something going on that they don't want you to talk about! I tell my daughter to never sign an NDA and to walk away if she's ever approached with one.

So... they were "silenced"... about WHAT? I support a brand's right to protect its brand/image by NOT allowing their models, etc., to destroy the brand by endorsing controversial topics. For example, using their platform as a brand spokesperson to endorse a political party... pick a side in what's happening over THERE right now... and stuff like that.
Pageants are about self motivation & being the best you can be. Dont forget we have Mr pageants too.
Noelia was sexually harassed and told to get over it. Noelia had no chaperone or security handler. I’m starting to believe that 1. Either Leylah Rose doesn’t have money in the budget or 2. The pageant is used to sell beautiful women to sponsors based by what other have alleged that Noelia experienced unwelcome advances.
I recall participating in the Miss Teen USA pageant decades ago (won the talent portion) and speaking with other contestants that had competed for multiple years. What struck me was one contestant noticed the type of look that won for previous years. That contestant purposefully changed their look to conform with that type and became the runner up the year I competed.
There is no talent in the Miss USA organization. Maybe you did Miss America?
@@bec6384 No. Not Miss America. I was not old enough. Cerca 1990, I competed in Miss Teen USA and there was a talent portion.
Miss teen USA doesn't have talent. Unless it was like a one year thing that was special for that year
@@beambreaker You are correct. Miss Teen USA does not have a talent competition. It was discontinued in 2002.
That organization needs to be removed and the new org should give title holders their tittles back
6:48 There is no way to appreciate beauty without being exploitative if the setting is a competitive one.
I thought the same, that might be implied. Also, clothing maybe.
I don't know........

Greatest comment I’ve seen in 2024 .. thank you!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha
Miss USA put out a statement and the first letter of every sentence spelled out I AM BEING SILENCED

Sports and pageants are not the same?
@@AnnoyingLordFoolofLands Pageantry is a sport
jessica is beautiful but her makeup clashes with her neck skin tone
That's her summer tone. She obviously hasn't tanned yet. 😅
I did the Miss Arizona USA and hated the director Britt. The more money you spent with her sponsors, the more of a chance you had to win. I did Miss New Mexico USA with Laura and I loved it!! Btw I didn’t win either, but I placed the exact same with both, so I don’t favor one state over another.
4:52 - excluding the times where Miss USA had to resign her crown as a result of winning Miss Universe (this has been a rule since the pageant’s early days), this is the first time since 1957 where the current Miss USA either resigned on her own terms (like Noelia did a few days ago) and/or was stripped of her title!! Mary Leona Gage, who won Miss USA 1957, was stripped of her title shortly after she won after it was revealed that she lied about her age (she was 21, not 18), married, and the mother of two children (all of which were violations of the pageant rules at the time). The Miss USA 1957 title was then awarded to the first runner-up, Charlotte Sheffield of Utah. By the time the scandal broke publicly, the Miss Universe preliminary judging (in the early days of Miss Universe, the pageant took place literally a few days to a week AFTER the Miss USA Pageant) had already taken place, with Gage chosen as a semi-finalist and allowed to participate pending the results of the investigation. After Gage was stripped of her Miss USA title, she was disqualified from Miss Universe, and Mónica Lamas of Argentina, who placed 16th in the Miss Universe preliminaries, took Gage's spot in the semi-finals. All of this meant that it was too late for Sheffield, the new Miss USA, to compete, and it would be the only time the United States has not been represented at the Miss Universe pageant.
The whole basis for this pageant realm is steeped in objectification and exploitation, beginning with the stage mothers who groom their children. They are essentially owned by those owners who use them to profit and it is a willing endeavor after the legal age of adulthood.
Were they held at gunpoint and forced to participate? We're missing something here. There's got to be more. I mean, it's literally a beauty pageant... Anyone who thinks it's a personality or aptitude pageant is living in denial. The primary purpose is objectification and commercial exploitation. Beauty queens are used to sell garments, cosmetics, and God knows what else. This is like getting a job as a bartender and then complaining about all the alcoholics.

@@Roma-SRyanDid that make sense in your head?
@@JeantheSecond-ip7qm Take your L and hush
Narcissistic goes with the T
I watched 90% of this before I realized it- Jessica is on set!
If epstein had models im gonna assume pageants are used for the same purpose
Why are those pageants still in existence?
Because people value beauty, the problem is, people still don't really value WOMEN.
What is a beauty pageant? Clothing & makeup, figures & faces... ie: everything that appeals to the lust of our eyes. You can argue that the pageant includes categories like intelligence, articulation, passion projects, etc., but they're a token addition to disuade critizism of the hyper-focus on appearance. Reality check... how many would tune in to watch the pageant if there were no beauty category? There ya go.
Noela & Umasofia resigned for personal reasons & thats their business .' Doesnt mean we shut down pageants after they had their belly full of fun
If you want to feel beautiful and healthy, do something kind for someone less fortunate than yourself.
This is like going into a restaurant named lobster house and leaving because "eating lobster doesnt align with my values."
NDA non disclosure agreement so they can't speak
Jessica (a beautiful person) is 100% right about this. It is an outdated thing. I'll add that their concepts of beauty are...kind of freakish if I'm allowed to say that. The makeup and fake lips and identical smiles are becoming very uncanny valley. They all look like aliens to me now.
Well outdated as it is, I'd argue that instagram is worse. At least theres a portion of the pageants where they have to display talents. You see none of that on ig.
@@chandraray7798 ha good point. I've been off the social media stuff for years, but I understand that the filters have become increasingly sophisticated (and probably equally absurd). That's definitely not bound to help matters.

@@Roma-SRyan I see the connection you're drawing, but it's a red herring. The combat sports you list can undoubtedly be barbaric, but they're a way to express some of these archaic impulses under guidance and supervision. Should we all be playing chess to settle border disputes? Maybe. But we don't live in that world. Being "outdated" is a matter of prevailing attitudes; as a society we're moving beyond beauty pageants (save for certain cultural enclaves), but American football is broadly accepted, despite the militarism and promotion of violence.
We have to wait for THEY, HIM,HER America Pageant.
@9:28, lol, girls. You two have good chemistry. Today in particular. And OMG, WHAT a refreshing break from Briahna! 🙄 The two of you discussing monetary policy was excellent. Thanks to both of you for a great Friday Rising (even though I couldn't get around to watching until Sunday).
I think we can all agree that Miss America is not a beauty contest.
You mean a contest that only focuses on outward appearance isn't all it's cracked up to be? Some of us had that figured out long ago.
if pageants are outdated so are football and other sports because why are men wearing tights are running around on a field attacking each other and giving each other CTE just so they can play with a ball?
@@Roma-SRyan YASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
It's not only outward appearance, but that is the big draw.
Jessica's world view is starting to show in her appearance.
So, does Ozempic reinforce the notion that "Beauty comes from within"? Because afterall, as a drug, it works from the inside. Or does Ozempic reinforce the notion that "Beauty is only skin-deep"? 🤔
The girl on the right that said Miss USA knew what she was getting into. 1.) the person she was complaining about, took over the organization after or around the same time as her winning Miss USA. This person wasn’t running the organization prior to her reign. 2.) Miss USA and Miss Teen USA are not the only ones to complain or quit. At least three organization employees also quit and released statements with similar wording as the resignation letters of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA… 3.) she’s silenced by an NDA…she can’t tell her side of the story unless the Miss USA organization releases her from it. Why would they hold her to it, if it didn’t make the organization look bad? 4.) if we are to assume that Miss USA and the others are telling the truth-was she supposed to just take the bad treatment? Was she supposed to just accept bullying and toxicity? According to you, she should have know what to expect… Or should people be able to walk away from toxic places?
Combination of corprate demands and commitments, and these ladies not realizing what they siged up for.
Beauty pageants have evolved beyond their original purpose of mere entertainment; they were not intended to serve as platforms for advocacy.
Congratulations Jessica on your pregnancy and engagement
Beauty comes from the inside...that sounds so disingenous coming from a beautiful person. Also...is this the first time Jessica has been in studio?
Matching shiny outfits look great
Everything is exploited if it’s a competition.. Patrick mahomes is exploited by Jessica’s standard
You can all get together and watch a Brad Pitt movie. Lol
It's about time.
It probably financial disputes. They can't make side money when the offers pour in the money goes to the org. Their rewards, attention and a scholarship. They would make more bouncing around in lingerie on OnlyFs, showing little to nothing.
Well, this is nothing that we didn’t know before. At least they didn’t have Trump opening their mouth to check their teeth this time. They do not protect these young ladies.
Nice!
Doesn't Donald Trump own or have investments in these pageants.
He owned the pageants several years ago. He sold them prior to or around the time he ran for president the first time.
If you can't be a sitting pretty beauty queen without knowing it part of the job ... is too be pretty and pleasant...if you can't do that just let a winner 🏆 win the title that who really want to a crowning 👑 Beauty Queen or Teen ....
Time to end it❤
It’s their choices.
Maybe if Trump was still owner this wouldn’t have happened 😂
He would install cameras in the dressing room so he could watch in privacy and give his forearm a workout
The reason: they found Jesus. Amen.

20 years too late, but still kudos.
That was a dumb comment about women in pageants being seen as dogs in a dog show. Empowerment means you are allowed to do whatever you want in life without being judged. Many of those women are smart and beautiful. They decided that Miss USA could be the platform that would connect them to TV, cinema, and public relations. I don't think any of these girls signed up to be bullied, sexually harassed, or blamed for the hills just because they are beautiful and they participated in a pageant. Women should support women using victim-blaming language like "What did you expect?" it is not very smart at all
The dog show thing was cruel
Beauty Pageant were better when Trump ran them...🤣
Socio goes with the SA
Plain English can be beautiful. Why have young Americans seemingly abandoned simple words?
It's always been like that. Everyone wants the spotlight. Remember it takes a certain type of person, usually a narcissist and a psychopath, to participate in the contest
🤦
Who cares?
Taylor Swift🎉🎉
you mean ... the WHITE BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE SHOW . which is just like the miss usa/teen show
This will decide the 2024 presidential election.
Some people will never be happy.
Latinas don’t f’ around
Omg ... whine whine
People still watch those things? Sad. Not winning.
If you think pageants are outdated, then so are football games with men running around in tights
Myth America.
It definitely feels like a dogs show!! Great observation
if pageants are outdated so are football and other sports because why are men wearing tights are running around on a field attacking each other and giving each other CTE just so they can play with a ball?
No it doesn't. Some women have internalized misogyny.
Oh please, spare us the victimhood "We're objectified like dogs in a dog show!" nonsense. First, it's elective. Nobody is forcing these women to participate in these shows. And secondly, men have their own version as well, bodybuilding competitions.. Which are basically beauty pageants, for men.
Perhaps men will come forward about their pageants, too.
@@miriamhavard7621 There have been a few concerns raised about unrealistic standards pushing men to use steroids to excess, putting their health at risk. But men don't come forward, because we all know men aren't really allowed to be 'victims'.
Stop being objectified
