Beauty contest winner Kayleigh Bush used to admire Miss America, but now she’s ripping the organization apart for its failure to define what a woman is… as well as disagreements over trans women, which led to her being stripped of her crown.
We had Kayleigh on Capitol Hill and our photographer asked her about her issue with Miss America…and she explained how some controversial language in her contract with Miss America led to an argument.
Kayleigh was crowned Miss North Florida in September 2024, but two months later she was stripped of her crown… because she refused to sign a contract with Miss America that she said went against her beliefs… that women also include biological men who undergo transgender reassignment surgery.
She says the contract would have opened the door for her to compete against transgender women…whom she disagreed with…and because she didn’t sign on the dotted line, Miss America took away her crown.
Kayleigh, however, has a new crown and sash…proudly showing off her “Miss She Leads America” distinction and touting her celebrity endorsement.
It’s an interesting conversation…and the whole saga has tarnished Miss America in Kayleigh’s eyes.
