Tara Conner Could Lose Her Crown

Underage Drinking in NYC Bars Doesn't Go Unnoticed for Miss USA

Miss USA, Tara Conner, may lose her crown for "behaving badly" in New York City. Donald Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization with NBC wouldn't say what she has done, but gossip website TMZ.com wasted no time outing the secret. Apparently Miss Conner has been in New York City bars demonstrating conduct not suitable for Miss USA.

Donald Trump is supposed to make his decision by next week as to whether or not Miss Conner can keep her crown and title. In event that the 20 year-old Kentucky native is dethroned, runner-up Miss California, Tamiko Nash, will be the new Miss USA.

Donald Trump would only call her behavior "personal issues" and refused to elaborate further. Miss USA is considered to be a role model and underage drinking is a violation of her contract as Miss USA. Tara Conner has been competing in beauty pageants since she was 4 years-old. She was crowned Young Miss Russell County in Kentucky at the county fair at 13, and in 2002 she was second runner-up in Miss Teen USA. She finished fourth in the Miss Universe pageant in July.

As of now, her fate lies in the hands of Donald Trump and other pageant officials. While they are remaining tight-lipped about her title being on the line, the organization's president, Paula M. Shugart, did say that they would evaluate Miss Conner's behavior and work with her to see if her reign will move forward.

Clearly, Miss Conner is in violation of her contract as Miss USA if she is indeed drinking underage, which will render her contract as Miss USA null and void.
