RSS Feed Former Miss North Carolina USA Brittany Boltinhouse has not publicly acknowledged nor apologized for resurfaced social media posts showing her repeatedly using the n-word over the course of several years. Now, her newly acquired attorney took to social media to announce an investigation and pending litigation against Miss USA and you will hear his entire statement. In it, he claims they have “recorded evidence” that the Miss USA organization had no justifiable reason to remove the title from their client, and insists Boltinhouse lost her crown because of her religious and political beliefs.

Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, August eleventh. They took a crown. Now she's gonna suit and with that, Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. A story that Robes I thought was going to get buttoned up. That keep going and going and going, and it seems like it might even happen legal legs now.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely has some I can't believe we're here.
00:00:21
Speaker 1: I never thought we were going to get to this when this first story first came up.
00:00:24
Speaker 3: Lest Yes, so when it first came to light that Britney Bolton House was being dethroned, it's just a way to put it, but her crown was being taken away a month after she was crowned Miss North Carolina, USA.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: Why why was she dethroned? It was a little vague, but initially yes, right.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: It was brought to light that there were multiple and years worth of social media posts by the twenty seven year old back when she was a teenager where she used the N.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: Word liberally, casually, converse, stationally, not in a racist way. In this she was just directing it towards somebody or for the group of people. No, she would just say in word this in word, that my in word over that, don't look at my inWORD. She was all over this.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a part of her vocabulary, as they say. But look, the pageant didn't necessarily get specific when they put out their initial press release, but they did acknowledge the fact that they didn't tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, nor a language that strips any person of their dignity. They did say that this wasn't an isolated incident, that this wasn't a single moment. It reflected conduct over an extended period of time.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: But they I thought, quite graciously and maybe even unnecessarily, but I appreciate it. They gave her some ropes. They did. They gave her some space and some grace in here to say, hey, this is a young lady, she's coming on the spotlight. We don't have to be cruel to her, even though we're holding her accountable. I thought it was well done.
00:02:03
Speaker 3: I do too, And they were exceptionally kind to me, yes, asking people not to rush to judgment, explaining that she was a human being with a future and a family and deserved a certain level Yes of grace.
00:02:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure Britany appreciated that kindness.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: It seems like she didn't.
00:02:22
Speaker 3: It seems like she didn't at all, because when we first heard from her, there was zero acknowledgment. I look, I was expecting an apology. You said you didn't require one, but at the very least, yes, an explanation. We didn't get any of the above. In fact, what we got was complete and total deflection, and some might even say fabrication.
00:02:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. That was the best way to put a deflection. I'm not going to hear to talk about that. I'm not going to talk about that. And there was no follow up. There was no direct question about her using the in word liberally throughout a good portion of her young life. She turned it robes in to martyrdom, she turned him into victimhood. And she could possibly believe what she's saying, but there's no evidence, necessarily that has been presented of what she's saying. And she's saying that the pageant in North Carolina, the organization doesn't want her to be missed North Carolina because she is a Christian and because she is pro Trump. That's it.
00:03:19
Speaker 3: But what doesn't make sense about any of that MM is that that was all known going into the pageant, which took place on June twenty eighth. Britney Boltonhouse has a website, as so many young women do. She's an entrepreneur, she's active on social media, and she never made bones about the fact that she is a woman of her Mormon faith, devout Mormon, in addition to being a devout Trump supporter. She's at MAGA rally's and she's been vocal and outspoken about it. So if there was an issue with her, one would possibly be I think pretty able to assume that, yes, this was readily known. It wasn't something that came to light after she was crowned. This was a part of who she was, part of her very public persona going into the pageant.
00:04:11
Speaker 1: There's no controversy, there's no drum beat, there was no build up, there was no rallying, there was no movement out there to get her removed. So she took this direction. Robes, she decided, and maybe she gave them an opportunity because they were so vague. If they would have just come out and say, yep, this post this post, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, that would have been devastating for her. So I don't know what deal they made behind the scenes rolled but it seems they made one in which they have been handcuffed into not being able to say specifically what they did to remove her. So now she's taking that as an opportunity to fill in the blanks, and she has now created a whole new campaign around her being a victim of a system. Now that candles anybody who is a conservative, who is a Christian, who is religious, who supports Trump. That's a bunch of people that you're now going to get to rally to your cause because they are going to do what is they often do. Yep. I've been persecuted. Yep. I've been turned on by the minority who's trying to cancel me because of my beliefs. We've seen this happen, and she is taking this and now she has a lawyer.
00:05:16
Speaker 3: Now now she has a lawyer, and this is now getting ugly, and honestly, it's frustrating. It's frustrating because she's never once been forced to acknowledge these social media posts.
00:05:30
Speaker 2: Look nc Beat, this is.
00:05:32
Speaker 3: A local North Carolina outlet news outlet that found and verified and posted quite a few of these posts. She's never once been asked specifically about any of them. And look, the Miss USA pageant has come out and they have vehemently denied that her removal had anything to do with her religious or political beliefs.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: And there's no been evident so that they haven't offered any evidence of that. But they are hooting and hollering loudly, Robes and now where attorney has come out, we're gonna let you hear this. We're gonna play it and start and stop as we go along because some of the stuff he says, it's pretty jaw dropping. Some of it's stuff you're used to hearing. I suppose some of it sounds like pr some of it sounds like maybe BS to some people. Robes. But this is to to at this point ignore like it's irrelevant that you were saying the inward repeatedly in public. That doesn't matter, not to say you cannot cancel you, I should have my crown despite that. What you're really doing here is going after me because I'm a Christian in a state where seventy percent of the adults identify as Christian, in a state that voted for Trump. You all are anti Trump, anti Christian North Carolinians. Now, in my case, what.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: That makes no sense. It's illogical.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And so it's that's why I say frustrating, because the facts are the facts, and she's trying to distort and distract and not acknowledge.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: And now she not only as.
00:07:15
Speaker 3: A victim, she's going to pursue this legally.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: And this is the part where I always come in, Robes and I say, we need to leave space because we don't know this young lady. He don't know her personally.
00:07:27
Speaker 2: Don't sticking with that?
00:07:29
Speaker 1: I just I don't. You can you can take into account and question decisions that are being made without condemning that person or their character or who they are. But Roabes, the way she's gone about this, this is very simple stuff. Someone not in the black community has repeatedly used the N word in her public discourse. She now got a crown and then got it taken away. I was open to listening, and I was open to them letting her keep the crown and let's have a discussion about what's happened. I'll get tired of this whole Love Island scenario. Welcome the islanders. Okay, we're down one islander. They've left because we just found out they use the N word a bunch on social media.
00:08:09
Speaker 3: And look, you and I both publicly and repeatedly and will continue to be against cancel call to culture. I don't think I think very few people should be thrown away and never to be seen again. I think most people are redeemable. Most people actually have a really interesting story to tell, and it's through those mistakes that we can all learn to be better folks. And I think you and I are always and have always been in that camp. Thought it was a good opportunity, Yes, yes, so, But this situation is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to defend.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: You can this is hard to defend. Here is her attorney. What's his name here? Ro Mency Patrick pens Patrick MINSI out of North Carolina. He put out a LinkedIn This is like a three minute We're gonna start and stop as we go along because you're gonna want to comment on a bunch as he goes along. But he put a four minute, three or so minute clip here on social media.
00:09:04
Speaker 4: My name is Patrick Menci, and I want to address a matter of significant public interest involving our client, Brittany Bolton House. Our firm MENSI Bell Roads is honored to represent Brittany in connection with anticipated legal action arising from the wrongful and unjustified stripping of the Miss North Carolina USA twenty twenty sixth title.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: Anticipated legal action. What are they going to They want money? I don't want the crown back.
00:09:33
Speaker 3: What would you say, Well, they can't get the crown back at this point, because that ship has sailed. You've already got Mila Hadley going to compete at Miss USA in a matter of days at this point, heading to Miami.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: She's not going to get the crown back.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: And they asked for an injunction of some kind for a judge to step in. Not allowed. I don't know it.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: It's not about money. This is about money.
00:09:57
Speaker 4: That's see a title she rightfully earned through merit, achievement and the overwhelming support of millions of people across the country and around the world. Our firm has been engaged to conduct a comprehensive investigation under the circumstances surrounding the removal of Britney's crown. That investigation is national in scope, sweeping in reach, and focused on one objective, uncovering and presenting the full truth behind what appears to be another troubling example of cancel culture directed at a young woman because of her deeply held religious convictions and publicly expressed political beliefs.
00:10:43
Speaker 1: Wellads, that's a problem. That statement is a problem because so many are going to find she wants to be an example for young women. There is an example to be set for taking some accountability. There is an example to be set she wants to have for young women. This example, she is setting to find a way to get out of it, to not take responsibility, to make your rote. She's turning this into maybe a playbook for young women to avoid accountability instead of taking it. If she wrote, it's very hard for me to get on board with her feeling that she's Christian, So they just made something up and took it away from me.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: It's disturbing, and I wonder if I'm curious book. We've seen some of the posts that have her using the N word liberally, but there are also reports that she had other posts or had other in person conduct that was disparaging to homosexuals and transsexuals.
00:11:45
Speaker 2: So I'm wondering if they're starting.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: To lay the groundwork that her religious and political beliefs allow her to feel that way about that community. It can't explain away the N word in any way, shape or form. I'm wondering if any of what they're putting out there now is laying a foundation for explaining away that language or that conduct.
00:12:11
Speaker 4: Let me be clear, the truth will come out. Our investigation has already uncovered evidence, including recorded statements, that show Pageant officials acknowledging the absence of any legitimate or legal basis for their decision to script Brittany of her title.
00:12:32
Speaker 1: That's huge.
00:12:33
Speaker 2: Was she secretly recording the meeting?
00:12:35
Speaker 1: He just said, we got you on tape saying you had no reason to take the crown. You're gonna have to back that one up. Badna, wait wait for that.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Wait, I can't wait for that audio.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: Or did they do that to scare the hell out of the pageant people? What conversations was she having somewhere? Who knows who was saying what he said?
00:12:53
Speaker 2: They have recorded evidence.
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Okay, we shall see here we go.
00:13:00
Speaker 4: As this process moves forward, we intend to present the public with the facts and expose the full extent of the conduct that led to this extraordinary and indefensible action. The evidence developed thus far confirms a deeply concerning pattern. Britney has been targeted because of her Christian faith and her conservative political views. No organization that claims to promote fairness, opportunity, and empowerment should discriminate against an individual because of her sincerely held beliefs. Britney's story represents the very best of the American dream. She is the daughter of immigrants, proudly reared in rural North Carolina, and entered the Miss North Carolina competition as a complete outsider, remarkably despite having no prior pageant experience, on the twenty sixth title in dominant fashion, capturing four of five major competition categories, including People's Choice, Miscongeniality, Fitness, and Best Gown. To this day, pageant organizers have not identified any specific conduct that would justify stripping Brittany of her crown.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Is that right? Do you think? Is that a fair statement? They haven't identical. It doesn't seem like they have publish.
00:14:29
Speaker 2: I do think publicly that's correct.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: They have not specifically, and I think that was perhaps a mistake.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: Now it's easy to say, given her reaction.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: For them not to get specific, and maybe this is a lesson learned that you leave space for someone to fill in the blank if you don't.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: But some of it sounds as if there has been conversations behind the scenes where everybody agreed to what was going to be said publicly, like they gave her Well.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: The miss USA organization came back and said that Britney Boltonhouse in their private discussions acknowledged this behavior they're referencing and.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Apologized for it.
00:15:08
Speaker 3: And then they went on to say that it still wasn't sufficient in defending the outcome, and so they still had to remove the crown. So they're claiming in these private discussions she fully admitted to the behavior in question and apologized for it. Now it is true that they publicly have not detailed exactly what that behavior, conduct, what the posts were. It has not come from them, all.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: Right, and this is how he wrapped it up.
00:15:39
Speaker 4: Their persistent refusal to cite concrete facts, rules or violations speaks for itself. Do process, fairness, transparency, and basic accountability have been cast aside. We intend to hold those responsible fully hauntable. The pageant's conduct is indefensible. The evidence will be revealed, The truth and facts will be presented in a court of law. Britney Boltenhouse earned her crown, she earned the respect and admiration of millions who support her, and one thing is certain, Britney Boltenhouse will not be canceled. He looked forward to providing additional information as circumstances permit, and as our investigation continues.
00:16:34
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you know they might be trying to pound on that point Robes that they that the pageant has. He said, it speaks for itself that they have repeatedly refused to lay out specifically the reasons and what and they have. But I thought they were doing that as a solid for her.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: That's the crazy part.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: I would think that she would have been grateful, appreciate it that they did not get specific and put out all of her detailed posts. And instead of being grateful that they didn't, she's using it against them.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: Using it against that is wild. I will stay with us, folks. You might be shocked surprised, because I was frankly floored to hear how many other pageant winners have had their titles taken. An even more surprising reason or thing was really some of the reasons why stay here? I continue here on Amy and TJ. Roder said, we're going to give some examples of how other of some other title holders that had their titles taken away their crowns, but also going to read to you the most recent one. I could find the pageant Miss USA pageant entry form that lays out and roads. It looks pretty pretty clear to me that they had damn good justification for taking the crown from Miss from Miss North Carolina was the most famous one. Miss America nineteen eighty four, Vanessa Williams, the first African American house. It was months I think though, before those pictures came out, wasn't it.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: I can't remember the exact timeline, but I do remember it being a massive headline, this gorgeous yes, first black Miss America.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: And turns out she had posed talkless. I believe which.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: One was it? Which it wasn't? Playboy No.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: I think it was just early on she was trying to make it as an actress. Sum photographer convinced her that it would help her career.
00:18:37
Speaker 2: She took her shirt off.
00:18:38
Speaker 1: That was a violation and robe. Some of the contracts specifically list nude photos in their language. All right, continuing Miss USA two thousand and nine, Carrie Progene. I don't know if you remember that name, but same thing. That was a nude photo leak you had, Miss New Jersey, USA, two thousand and seven. Young lady not by the name of Ashley Harder. Why did she get her crown taken? That came out she was with child.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: That actually seems like a violation.
00:19:06
Speaker 3: I understand, But that also feels like that could be discriminatory.
00:19:09
Speaker 1: In the contract.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: But okay that you sign it in the contract.
00:19:13
Speaker 1: Let's go to Miss World nineteen seventy three, the year of your birth. Young Lady by the name of Marjorie Wallace became the first American to win Miss World. She also became the first woman to have the title taken away. Why the girl liked to date? She was dating some high profile guys at the time. She was linked to one guy, was seen kissing another guy on the beach, and that just at the time, it didn't look good. Does it wow?
00:19:42
Speaker 3: Because she was dating two people at the same time she lost her crown.
00:19:46
Speaker 2: Yes, that's wild.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: It didn't look good at the time. Let's go to Miss Hispanic America two thousand and eight. Laura Zeniga is her name. Well, she was arrested along with her drug dealer boyfriend. That makes sense in Mexico. That was okay, we understand. That was Katie Reese, Miss Nevada, USA, two thousand and seven. I think if you saw her picture you would recognize her because this was the one Trump got involved with. I think forced her to give the crown back. But she was at a nightclub and pulled a pants down in front of a front of cameras. Obviously that's not good.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Look, let's conduct unbefitting of a queen.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: And then Leona Gage, let's go back to Miss USA nineteen fifty seven robes. She actually lied about her age. I'm kind of remember which direction this was. She was twenty No, she said she was twenty one, but she was actually eighteen. And in addition to that, she was married and had two kids.
00:20:36
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: So she lost her crime.
00:20:38
Speaker 3: And look, this is interesting because Miss Usa, when I was in the Miss America pageant, one of the qualification you could not be married. That clearly it's Miss America, Miss Usa. But interestingly enough, and I believe she even spoke about this. Britney Boltonhouse is married and she won the title of Miss North Carolina, USA. She says she is the first married woman to win the title, or she was the first married person to win the title, which I found interesting because that was absolutely against the rules when I was competing.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: Things change.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: Do you remember signing the contracts?
00:21:10
Speaker 3: I do.
00:21:11
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of fine prayer. You probably didn't look through.
00:21:13
Speaker 2: It, of course I didn't.
00:21:14
Speaker 1: A lot of them probably didn't. But the most recent one I could find was just share these parts, it says Robes in one clause or the Miss USA contract. This is the one they signed just to sign up to get into the their state pageants, and it says I represent that at all times prior to the date of this agreement, I have conducted my activities and life in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards. Robes, it says prior to the date, so that means anywhere earlier in your life, says I have not engaged in any activities that might bring myself, you, the Miss USA pageant system into public disrepute, ridicule, contempt, or scandal, or might otherwise reflect unfavorably upon any of the foregoing individuals or entities, or my shock insult or offend the community or any class or group thereof. That's pretty are taped.
00:22:07
Speaker 2: So where is their lawsuit if these they're gonna claim, really these posts they're gonna claim related?
00:22:13
Speaker 3: But is it is it your religious right to refer to a group of people by the N word?
00:22:18
Speaker 1: You're going to make that claim. I don't know she's Mormon. I don't know a lot about Mormonism. I don't think that's in there.
00:22:24
Speaker 2: I don't think that's in there either.
00:22:26
Speaker 1: Okay, so I don't know what you cat.
00:22:28
Speaker 3: That's where I was going with the homophobic or transphobic comments. I don't know what those were. I haven't seen anything, but I've seen it referred to that. That is a part of what the pageant officials saw in terms of evidence about how she how she acted and conducted herself.
00:22:46
Speaker 2: We obviously saw the N word posts.
00:22:48
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can justify any of that with religion or political stance.
00:22:55
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's going to go for robes, but this is interesting for I don't know. It could have been healing, and it could have been a good thing early on, it's turned into what has become so many things that come up right, just a political fight. We're going into our corners now, we're going to come back out and beat the hell out of each other until the next fight comes around. Well, here we are. It's left and right and religious and non religious, left, r maga and non it's just all this again. That's too bad. Reminder though, if you're not black, don't say the N word. Please remind any young lady that you know that at thirteen she could be putting something out on social media that's going to cost her the opportunity of a lifetime when she's twenty two. It's just where we are.
00:23:38
Speaker 3: And also a reminder that there are two words, maybe three words, that are more powerful than any legal action you could take. I am sorry.
00:23:51
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't want to go with three, just go with two. My bad.
00:23:55
Speaker 3: I was going with I'm sorry, and I was like, no, that's a contraction, So my bad or I am sorry?
00:23:59
Speaker 1: You just don't what's one word you could say? I'm sorry?
00:24:02
Speaker 2: Sorry?
00:24:03
Speaker 1: Oops, she didn't even give us that.
00:24:07
Speaker 2: It's my fault. I apologize. I take full responsibilities.
00:24:10
Speaker 1: That's on me. I mean, there's so many things you could go with.
00:24:13
Speaker 2: Different ways to go with us.
00:24:14
Speaker 1: Alright, we appreciate you, obviously you all. You all know by now we are going to follow every step of this story. So uh, we'll be with you for the next update. But from now, I am t J, I'm bab of my dear Amy. Robotle talks
Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, August eleventh. They took a crown. Now she's gonna suit and with that, Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. A story that Robes I thought was going to get buttoned up. That keep going and going and going, and it seems like it might even happen legal legs now.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely has some I can't believe we're here.
00:00:21
Speaker 1: I never thought we were going to get to this when this first story first came up.
00:00:24
Speaker 3: Lest Yes, so when it first came to light that Britney Bolton House was being dethroned, it's just a way to put it, but her crown was being taken away a month after she was crowned Miss North Carolina, USA.
00:00:38
Speaker 2: Why why was she dethroned? It was a little vague, but initially yes, right.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: It was brought to light that there were multiple and years worth of social media posts by the twenty seven year old back when she was a teenager where she used the N.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: Word liberally, casually, converse, stationally, not in a racist way. In this she was just directing it towards somebody or for the group of people. No, she would just say in word this in word, that my in word over that, don't look at my inWORD. She was all over this.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a part of her vocabulary, as they say. But look, the pageant didn't necessarily get specific when they put out their initial press release, but they did acknowledge the fact that they didn't tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, nor a language that strips any person of their dignity. They did say that this wasn't an isolated incident, that this wasn't a single moment. It reflected conduct over an extended period of time.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: But they I thought, quite graciously and maybe even unnecessarily, but I appreciate it. They gave her some ropes. They did. They gave her some space and some grace in here to say, hey, this is a young lady, she's coming on the spotlight. We don't have to be cruel to her, even though we're holding her accountable. I thought it was well done.
00:02:03
Speaker 3: I do too, And they were exceptionally kind to me, yes, asking people not to rush to judgment, explaining that she was a human being with a future and a family and deserved a certain level Yes of grace.
00:02:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure Britany appreciated that kindness.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: It seems like she didn't.
00:02:22
Speaker 3: It seems like she didn't at all, because when we first heard from her, there was zero acknowledgment. I look, I was expecting an apology. You said you didn't require one, but at the very least, yes, an explanation. We didn't get any of the above. In fact, what we got was complete and total deflection, and some might even say fabrication.
00:02:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. That was the best way to put a deflection. I'm not going to hear to talk about that. I'm not going to talk about that. And there was no follow up. There was no direct question about her using the in word liberally throughout a good portion of her young life. She turned it robes in to martyrdom, she turned him into victimhood. And she could possibly believe what she's saying, but there's no evidence, necessarily that has been presented of what she's saying. And she's saying that the pageant in North Carolina, the organization doesn't want her to be missed North Carolina because she is a Christian and because she is pro Trump. That's it.
00:03:19
Speaker 3: But what doesn't make sense about any of that MM is that that was all known going into the pageant, which took place on June twenty eighth. Britney Boltonhouse has a website, as so many young women do. She's an entrepreneur, she's active on social media, and she never made bones about the fact that she is a woman of her Mormon faith, devout Mormon, in addition to being a devout Trump supporter. She's at MAGA rally's and she's been vocal and outspoken about it. So if there was an issue with her, one would possibly be I think pretty able to assume that, yes, this was readily known. It wasn't something that came to light after she was crowned. This was a part of who she was, part of her very public persona going into the pageant.
00:04:11
Speaker 1: There's no controversy, there's no drum beat, there was no build up, there was no rallying, there was no movement out there to get her removed. So she took this direction. Robes, she decided, and maybe she gave them an opportunity because they were so vague. If they would have just come out and say, yep, this post this post, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, that would have been devastating for her. So I don't know what deal they made behind the scenes rolled but it seems they made one in which they have been handcuffed into not being able to say specifically what they did to remove her. So now she's taking that as an opportunity to fill in the blanks, and she has now created a whole new campaign around her being a victim of a system. Now that candles anybody who is a conservative, who is a Christian, who is religious, who supports Trump. That's a bunch of people that you're now going to get to rally to your cause because they are going to do what is they often do. Yep. I've been persecuted. Yep. I've been turned on by the minority who's trying to cancel me because of my beliefs. We've seen this happen, and she is taking this and now she has a lawyer.
00:05:16
Speaker 3: Now now she has a lawyer, and this is now getting ugly, and honestly, it's frustrating. It's frustrating because she's never once been forced to acknowledge these social media posts.
00:05:30
Speaker 2: Look nc Beat, this is.
00:05:32
Speaker 3: A local North Carolina outlet news outlet that found and verified and posted quite a few of these posts. She's never once been asked specifically about any of them. And look, the Miss USA pageant has come out and they have vehemently denied that her removal had anything to do with her religious or political beliefs.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: And there's no been evident so that they haven't offered any evidence of that. But they are hooting and hollering loudly, Robes and now where attorney has come out, we're gonna let you hear this. We're gonna play it and start and stop as we go along because some of the stuff he says, it's pretty jaw dropping. Some of it's stuff you're used to hearing. I suppose some of it sounds like pr some of it sounds like maybe BS to some people. Robes. But this is to to at this point ignore like it's irrelevant that you were saying the inward repeatedly in public. That doesn't matter, not to say you cannot cancel you, I should have my crown despite that. What you're really doing here is going after me because I'm a Christian in a state where seventy percent of the adults identify as Christian, in a state that voted for Trump. You all are anti Trump, anti Christian North Carolinians. Now, in my case, what.
00:06:59
Speaker 2: That makes no sense. It's illogical.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: And so it's that's why I say frustrating, because the facts are the facts, and she's trying to distort and distract and not acknowledge.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: And now she not only as.
00:07:15
Speaker 3: A victim, she's going to pursue this legally.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: And this is the part where I always come in, Robes and I say, we need to leave space because we don't know this young lady. He don't know her personally.
00:07:27
Speaker 2: Don't sticking with that?
00:07:29
Speaker 1: I just I don't. You can you can take into account and question decisions that are being made without condemning that person or their character or who they are. But Roabes, the way she's gone about this, this is very simple stuff. Someone not in the black community has repeatedly used the N word in her public discourse. She now got a crown and then got it taken away. I was open to listening, and I was open to them letting her keep the crown and let's have a discussion about what's happened. I'll get tired of this whole Love Island scenario. Welcome the islanders. Okay, we're down one islander. They've left because we just found out they use the N word a bunch on social media.
00:08:09
Speaker 3: And look, you and I both publicly and repeatedly and will continue to be against cancel call to culture. I don't think I think very few people should be thrown away and never to be seen again. I think most people are redeemable. Most people actually have a really interesting story to tell, and it's through those mistakes that we can all learn to be better folks. And I think you and I are always and have always been in that camp. Thought it was a good opportunity, Yes, yes, so, But this situation is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to defend.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: You can this is hard to defend. Here is her attorney. What's his name here? Ro Mency Patrick pens Patrick MINSI out of North Carolina. He put out a LinkedIn This is like a three minute We're gonna start and stop as we go along because you're gonna want to comment on a bunch as he goes along. But he put a four minute, three or so minute clip here on social media.
00:09:04
Speaker 4: My name is Patrick Menci, and I want to address a matter of significant public interest involving our client, Brittany Bolton House. Our firm MENSI Bell Roads is honored to represent Brittany in connection with anticipated legal action arising from the wrongful and unjustified stripping of the Miss North Carolina USA twenty twenty sixth title.
00:09:29
Speaker 1: Anticipated legal action. What are they going to They want money? I don't want the crown back.
00:09:33
Speaker 3: What would you say, Well, they can't get the crown back at this point, because that ship has sailed. You've already got Mila Hadley going to compete at Miss USA in a matter of days at this point, heading to Miami.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: She's not going to get the crown back.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: And they asked for an injunction of some kind for a judge to step in. Not allowed. I don't know it.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: It's not about money. This is about money.
00:09:57
Speaker 4: That's see a title she rightfully earned through merit, achievement and the overwhelming support of millions of people across the country and around the world. Our firm has been engaged to conduct a comprehensive investigation under the circumstances surrounding the removal of Britney's crown. That investigation is national in scope, sweeping in reach, and focused on one objective, uncovering and presenting the full truth behind what appears to be another troubling example of cancel culture directed at a young woman because of her deeply held religious convictions and publicly expressed political beliefs.
00:10:43
Speaker 1: Wellads, that's a problem. That statement is a problem because so many are going to find she wants to be an example for young women. There is an example to be set for taking some accountability. There is an example to be set she wants to have for young women. This example, she is setting to find a way to get out of it, to not take responsibility, to make your rote. She's turning this into maybe a playbook for young women to avoid accountability instead of taking it. If she wrote, it's very hard for me to get on board with her feeling that she's Christian, So they just made something up and took it away from me.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: It's disturbing, and I wonder if I'm curious book. We've seen some of the posts that have her using the N word liberally, but there are also reports that she had other posts or had other in person conduct that was disparaging to homosexuals and transsexuals.
00:11:45
Speaker 2: So I'm wondering if they're starting.
00:11:48
Speaker 3: To lay the groundwork that her religious and political beliefs allow her to feel that way about that community. It can't explain away the N word in any way, shape or form. I'm wondering if any of what they're putting out there now is laying a foundation for explaining away that language or that conduct.
00:12:11
Speaker 4: Let me be clear, the truth will come out. Our investigation has already uncovered evidence, including recorded statements, that show Pageant officials acknowledging the absence of any legitimate or legal basis for their decision to script Brittany of her title.
00:12:32
Speaker 1: That's huge.
00:12:33
Speaker 2: Was she secretly recording the meeting?
00:12:35
Speaker 1: He just said, we got you on tape saying you had no reason to take the crown. You're gonna have to back that one up. Badna, wait wait for that.
00:12:43
Speaker 2: Wait, I can't wait for that audio.
00:12:46
Speaker 1: Or did they do that to scare the hell out of the pageant people? What conversations was she having somewhere? Who knows who was saying what he said?
00:12:53
Speaker 2: They have recorded evidence.
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Okay, we shall see here we go.
00:13:00
Speaker 4: As this process moves forward, we intend to present the public with the facts and expose the full extent of the conduct that led to this extraordinary and indefensible action. The evidence developed thus far confirms a deeply concerning pattern. Britney has been targeted because of her Christian faith and her conservative political views. No organization that claims to promote fairness, opportunity, and empowerment should discriminate against an individual because of her sincerely held beliefs. Britney's story represents the very best of the American dream. She is the daughter of immigrants, proudly reared in rural North Carolina, and entered the Miss North Carolina competition as a complete outsider, remarkably despite having no prior pageant experience, on the twenty sixth title in dominant fashion, capturing four of five major competition categories, including People's Choice, Miscongeniality, Fitness, and Best Gown. To this day, pageant organizers have not identified any specific conduct that would justify stripping Brittany of her crown.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Is that right? Do you think? Is that a fair statement? They haven't identical. It doesn't seem like they have publish.
00:14:29
Speaker 2: I do think publicly that's correct.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: They have not specifically, and I think that was perhaps a mistake.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: Now it's easy to say, given her reaction.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: For them not to get specific, and maybe this is a lesson learned that you leave space for someone to fill in the blank if you don't.
00:14:47
Speaker 1: But some of it sounds as if there has been conversations behind the scenes where everybody agreed to what was going to be said publicly, like they gave her Well.
00:14:55
Speaker 3: The miss USA organization came back and said that Britney Boltonhouse in their private discussions acknowledged this behavior they're referencing and.
00:15:06
Speaker 2: Apologized for it.
00:15:08
Speaker 3: And then they went on to say that it still wasn't sufficient in defending the outcome, and so they still had to remove the crown. So they're claiming in these private discussions she fully admitted to the behavior in question and apologized for it. Now it is true that they publicly have not detailed exactly what that behavior, conduct, what the posts were. It has not come from them, all.
00:15:37
Speaker 1: Right, and this is how he wrapped it up.
00:15:39
Speaker 4: Their persistent refusal to cite concrete facts, rules or violations speaks for itself. Do process, fairness, transparency, and basic accountability have been cast aside. We intend to hold those responsible fully hauntable. The pageant's conduct is indefensible. The evidence will be revealed, The truth and facts will be presented in a court of law. Britney Boltenhouse earned her crown, she earned the respect and admiration of millions who support her, and one thing is certain, Britney Boltenhouse will not be canceled. He looked forward to providing additional information as circumstances permit, and as our investigation continues.
00:16:34
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you know they might be trying to pound on that point Robes that they that the pageant has. He said, it speaks for itself that they have repeatedly refused to lay out specifically the reasons and what and they have. But I thought they were doing that as a solid for her.
00:16:59
Speaker 2: That's the crazy part.
00:17:00
Speaker 3: I would think that she would have been grateful, appreciate it that they did not get specific and put out all of her detailed posts. And instead of being grateful that they didn't, she's using it against them.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: Using it against that is wild. I will stay with us, folks. You might be shocked surprised, because I was frankly floored to hear how many other pageant winners have had their titles taken. An even more surprising reason or thing was really some of the reasons why stay here? I continue here on Amy and TJ. Roder said, we're going to give some examples of how other of some other title holders that had their titles taken away their crowns, but also going to read to you the most recent one. I could find the pageant Miss USA pageant entry form that lays out and roads. It looks pretty pretty clear to me that they had damn good justification for taking the crown from Miss from Miss North Carolina was the most famous one. Miss America nineteen eighty four, Vanessa Williams, the first African American house. It was months I think though, before those pictures came out, wasn't it.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: I can't remember the exact timeline, but I do remember it being a massive headline, this gorgeous yes, first black Miss America.
00:18:23
Speaker 2: And turns out she had posed talkless. I believe which.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: One was it? Which it wasn't? Playboy No.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: I think it was just early on she was trying to make it as an actress. Sum photographer convinced her that it would help her career.
00:18:37
Speaker 2: She took her shirt off.
00:18:38
Speaker 1: That was a violation and robe. Some of the contracts specifically list nude photos in their language. All right, continuing Miss USA two thousand and nine, Carrie Progene. I don't know if you remember that name, but same thing. That was a nude photo leak you had, Miss New Jersey, USA, two thousand and seven. Young lady not by the name of Ashley Harder. Why did she get her crown taken? That came out she was with child.
00:19:04
Speaker 2: That actually seems like a violation.
00:19:06
Speaker 3: I understand, But that also feels like that could be discriminatory.
00:19:09
Speaker 1: In the contract.
00:19:10
Speaker 2: But okay that you sign it in the contract.
00:19:13
Speaker 1: Let's go to Miss World nineteen seventy three, the year of your birth. Young Lady by the name of Marjorie Wallace became the first American to win Miss World. She also became the first woman to have the title taken away. Why the girl liked to date? She was dating some high profile guys at the time. She was linked to one guy, was seen kissing another guy on the beach, and that just at the time, it didn't look good. Does it wow?
00:19:42
Speaker 3: Because she was dating two people at the same time she lost her crown.
00:19:46
Speaker 2: Yes, that's wild.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: It didn't look good at the time. Let's go to Miss Hispanic America two thousand and eight. Laura Zeniga is her name. Well, she was arrested along with her drug dealer boyfriend. That makes sense in Mexico. That was okay, we understand. That was Katie Reese, Miss Nevada, USA, two thousand and seven. I think if you saw her picture you would recognize her because this was the one Trump got involved with. I think forced her to give the crown back. But she was at a nightclub and pulled a pants down in front of a front of cameras. Obviously that's not good.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: Look, let's conduct unbefitting of a queen.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: And then Leona Gage, let's go back to Miss USA nineteen fifty seven robes. She actually lied about her age. I'm kind of remember which direction this was. She was twenty No, she said she was twenty one, but she was actually eighteen. And in addition to that, she was married and had two kids.
00:20:36
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: So she lost her crime.
00:20:38
Speaker 3: And look, this is interesting because Miss Usa, when I was in the Miss America pageant, one of the qualification you could not be married. That clearly it's Miss America, Miss Usa. But interestingly enough, and I believe she even spoke about this. Britney Boltonhouse is married and she won the title of Miss North Carolina, USA. She says she is the first married woman to win the title, or she was the first married person to win the title, which I found interesting because that was absolutely against the rules when I was competing.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: Things change.
00:21:08
Speaker 1: Do you remember signing the contracts?
00:21:10
Speaker 3: I do.
00:21:11
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of fine prayer. You probably didn't look through.
00:21:13
Speaker 2: It, of course I didn't.
00:21:14
Speaker 1: A lot of them probably didn't. But the most recent one I could find was just share these parts, it says Robes in one clause or the Miss USA contract. This is the one they signed just to sign up to get into the their state pageants, and it says I represent that at all times prior to the date of this agreement, I have conducted my activities and life in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards. Robes, it says prior to the date, so that means anywhere earlier in your life, says I have not engaged in any activities that might bring myself, you, the Miss USA pageant system into public disrepute, ridicule, contempt, or scandal, or might otherwise reflect unfavorably upon any of the foregoing individuals or entities, or my shock insult or offend the community or any class or group thereof. That's pretty are taped.
00:22:07
Speaker 2: So where is their lawsuit if these they're gonna claim, really these posts they're gonna claim related?
00:22:13
Speaker 3: But is it is it your religious right to refer to a group of people by the N word?
00:22:18
Speaker 1: You're going to make that claim. I don't know she's Mormon. I don't know a lot about Mormonism. I don't think that's in there.
00:22:24
Speaker 2: I don't think that's in there either.
00:22:26
Speaker 1: Okay, so I don't know what you cat.
00:22:28
Speaker 3: That's where I was going with the homophobic or transphobic comments. I don't know what those were. I haven't seen anything, but I've seen it referred to that. That is a part of what the pageant officials saw in terms of evidence about how she how she acted and conducted herself.
00:22:46
Speaker 2: We obviously saw the N word posts.
00:22:48
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can justify any of that with religion or political stance.
00:22:55
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's going to go for robes, but this is interesting for I don't know. It could have been healing, and it could have been a good thing early on, it's turned into what has become so many things that come up right, just a political fight. We're going into our corners now, we're going to come back out and beat the hell out of each other until the next fight comes around. Well, here we are. It's left and right and religious and non religious, left, r maga and non it's just all this again. That's too bad. Reminder though, if you're not black, don't say the N word. Please remind any young lady that you know that at thirteen she could be putting something out on social media that's going to cost her the opportunity of a lifetime when she's twenty two. It's just where we are.
00:23:38
Speaker 3: And also a reminder that there are two words, maybe three words, that are more powerful than any legal action you could take. I am sorry.
00:23:51
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't want to go with three, just go with two. My bad.
00:23:55
Speaker 3: I was going with I'm sorry, and I was like, no, that's a contraction, So my bad or I am sorry?
00:23:59
Speaker 1: You just don't what's one word you could say? I'm sorry?
00:24:02
Speaker 2: Sorry?
00:24:03
Speaker 1: Oops, she didn't even give us that.
00:24:07
Speaker 2: It's my fault. I apologize. I take full responsibilities.
00:24:10
Speaker 1: That's on me. I mean, there's so many things you could go with.
00:24:13
Speaker 2: Different ways to go with us.
00:24:14
Speaker 1: Alright, we appreciate you, obviously you all. You all know by now we are going to follow every step of this story. So uh, we'll be with you for the next update. But from now, I am t J, I'm bab of my dear Amy. Robotle talks
