Miss USA Tara Conner’s crown is safe for now as pageant officials review “behavioral and personal issues” amid reports of bad behavior at bars, FOXNews.com has learned.
“Miss USA Tara Conner has not been dethroned,” said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, in a statement. “The Miss Universe Organization and Mr. Donald J. Trump will be evaluating her behavioral and personal issues to see what we can do to work with her, and what we will do about her reign going forward.
“Mr. Trump will make a determination and announcement within the coming week,” she said. Trump is an owner of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.
The celebrity gossip Web site TMZ.com reported Thursday that executives from both the pageant and its broadcaster, NBC, met Tuesday to discuss reported problems with Kentucky native Conner, 20, and allegations of inappropriate conduct at New York City bars, according to the TMZ report, which cites unidentified sources.
