Gallery: LauRen’s Time At Miss USA

Today on the Maney and LauRen Morning Show, we talked about the drama and scandal surrounding the Miss USA pageant this year.

Although I have never competed under this director, I did compete WITH her at Miss USA the year she won. It is so sad for me to see women turn against each other like this. In my heart, I truly hope there was no "rigging" going on. There has been an investigation launched by the parent company that owns the Miss Universe system, so we will have to see where this all goes.

Regarding my time competing for the title of Miss USA 2008, I can honestly say that it was a rollercoaster ride, but some of the BEST times in my life!

Here is a look at my year and experience competing at the nationally televised Miss USA pageant and placing in the Top 5, along with the new and current director, Crystle Stewart, who won that year.
