Miss USA Contestants ‘Scared to Death’ About Evolution, Nudity Questions

“The pageant officials are intimidating contestants into answering questions a certain way that are deemed ‘politically correct’ while discriminating against their own belief and opinions,” says publicist Angie Meyer, who has worked with the Miss USA organization. “The Miss USA organization is choosing topics that are not only controversial, but intimidating.”

Another factor that could influence how contestants answer is the makeup of the crowd.

MUO has given away a significant amount of free tickets to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) to attend the live telecast. HRC are prominent champions for the legalization of gay marriage, the very topic that sparked the Prejean pandemonium two years ago.

The organization happens to be holding its leadership summit in Las Vegas on the same weekend, a source told Pop Tarts.

According to Meyer, the presence of a large contingent of HRC members in the crowd alone could be intimidating for the more conservative contestants if a question similar Prejean’s is raised.

Miss Maine USA’s Executive Director Mackenzie Davis disagrees, saying that the HRC’s attendance is not in any way unfair as “Miss USA is a spokesperson for the nation, and should not be intimidated by any organization.”
