Miss Universe Organization Statement on Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012, Sheena Monnin Resignation
June 5, 2012 by News Desk
Filed under Beauty Pageants, Breaking News, Entertainment, LGBT News, People, Television Shows
On Sunday, June 3, 2012 The Miss USA pageant was held at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and Miss Rhode Island USA, Olivia Culpo was Crowned Miss USA 2012.
On the next day, Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012 Sheena Monnin resigns allegedly claiming over fixed pageant and for allowing transgenders to be part of the competition.
MISS UNIVERSE ORGANIZATION STATEMENT
The Miss Universe Organization can confirm the resignation of the Pennsylvania titleholder after she did not place in the Top 16 at the Miss USA pageant.
In an email to state pageant organizers (below), she cited the Miss Universe Organizations’ policy regarding transgendered contestants, implemented two months ago, as the reason for her resignation.
Today she has changed her story by publicly making false accusations claiming that the pageant was fixed, however the contestant she privately sourced as her
reference has vehemently refuted her most recent claim.
We are disappointed that she would attempt to steal the spotlight form Olivia Culpo of Rhode Island on her well-‐deserved Miss USA win.
Copy of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012 Resignation email:
From: XXXXX
Date: June 4, 2012 7:25:59 AM PDT
To: XXXX
Subject: ResignationRandy,
I am officially and irrevocably resigning the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012. I refuse to be part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against ever moral fiber of my being. I believe in integrity, high moral character, and fair play, none of which are part of this system any longer.
I hereby return the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012.

During the telecast, Akon performed “America’s Most Wanted” from his upcoming album, “Stadium,” during the “Final Look” portion of the pageant featuring the Top Five Finalists, and Cobra Starship performed a special medley that included both “#1Nite” and “You Make Me Feel” during the swimsuit competition.
Throughout the two-hour event, the contestants competed in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview. Alyssa Campanella, Miss USA 2011, crowned her successor at the conclusion of the telecast, before an estimated worldwide viewing audience of more than 250 million.
