And yet our illegally elected "president", who walked in repeatedly on Miss Teen America contestants while they were undressing, remains.

WTF is wrong with these men? My dad was military and would NEVER have allowed this kind of attitude about my mother, sister, women friends, or females generally. Have people lost their sense of respect?!?!

R5: 24/7 porn on tap for two decades has consequences (shrugs) whether Camille Paglia can deal with it or not. Just go to any serious AA-oriented community board and read the discussions on gangsta attitude and the effect on mothers/daughters.
Shrugs. Not to sound callous, but not my problem. I have enough of my own.

R6, you do know rape culture is rampant across american college campuses, and rappers are hardly the denizens of frat houses.

r7 He didn't say that, he was talking about two different things; jesus, always this black aggression on dl.

Any straight male who'd want to be involved in the beauty pageant industry is up to no good, period.

R8, you have serious comprehension problems. Talk about gay defensiveness, sheesh.

Sam Haskell always had the vibe of a closeted, attention-seeking Southern queen. I would not be surprised to hear that he's cunted on DL from time to time.

Now, now -- these aren't that bad. Not like he raped anyone.

Kathie Lee is good friends with Sam Haskell.

R9 Bingo. Same can be said for any straight guy involved in modeling, Hollywood, or any career in general that entails having any sort of power over young, attractive females. I once knew a few women seriously involved in ballet and/or gymnastics, and apparently a lot of their coaches and trainers were pretty creepy too.

How did these emails leak? Someone with an ax to grind? Part of a subpoena? How and why?

The Lead Writer - Lewis Friedman - who was making the witty comments in the emails that the CEO got in trouble for laughing to (and also his own comments, not just the guy's) seems clearly gay, like something a DL poster would say. He even drops the word "cunt", which in context is kinda funny. Apparently THAT WORD is the one that pissed off women who read about it the most. But frankly if you read the emails the lead writer seems pretty amusing.
Of the emails, the original HuffPo story says:
"For this story, HuffPost reviewed nearly three years of internal emails provided by two sources. They reveal a CEO who regularly wrote and responded to unprofessional, offensive emails about the women who poured their hearts into the pageants and the organization he was leading."
Let this be a lesson to you kids! Don't say it in text or email, reserve the witticisms for personal meetings, drinks after work, that sort of thing.

They don't say who leaked them, but it may have been someone with an axe to grind, possibly a feminist hacker (they do exist), but considering they were leaked to HuffPo my guess is that they were someone who worked there and wanted to get even with everyone. Maybe someone who dated the IT guy.

Oh please and I'm sure those self absorbed beauty queens are all virginal angels. This is getting absurd.

Oh I know, I can just imagine what backstabbing cunts they are behind the scenes. Sort of like "Drop Dead Gorgeous", but IRL. They probably stopped baking apple upside down cake and breastfeeding long enough to call in about how horrified and shocked they were at the comments!

Gay men should run beauty pageants anyway!

r8: Give it a rest. There was nothing aggressive about r7's post (or any other commenter's post for that matter) nor anything that indicates they're black; jesus, always with the lack of reading comprehension and victim mentality on this board.

Beauty pageants are dated and should be abolished.

Forty-nine Miss Americas called for the national organization’s top leadership to resign, less than 24 hours after HuffPost revealed internal Miss America Organization emails filled with misogynistic, fat-shaming and slut-shaming language.

So. No Miss America pageant on this year?

These men are ugly as sin too. No place to judge women's appearances.

How have the rabid feminists and # MeTooers not targeted these " beauty" pageants? What could be more demeaning to their movement than those horrible " scholarship" competitions?

The biggest shock in the story is they're straight guys. I thought only gay guys are involved in beauty pageants.

Who is the guy with the lesbian hair?

"I thought only gay guys are involved in beauty pageants."
The only guys who watch these pageants are gay. If the Tonys broadcast is the gay Super Bowl, then the "beauty" pageants are the gay World series.

This was over 3 years ago. R30, one former Miss America said Haskell wanted to be Miss America.

Also since this happened, there’s a huge rift among former Miss americas. One group supported Gretchen Carlson and her leadership. The other initially supported her but lost them when she and a few others ran the organization into the ground and publicly attacked the current titleholder at the time.
Gretchen blocked Kate shindle and heather Whitestone on social media.
