According to the dethroned beauty queen, the organisers told her to run separate social media accounts – one where she could voice her opinions and an ‘apolitical’ one for the contest. However, despite creating a second Facebook account, she kept getting complaints about her pro-Trump messages and criticism of the group Antifa on her personal page. Miss Nevada State 2019 winner Katie Williams has had her title revoked by the Miss America pageant organisers, and believes she lost her throne due to her conservative political views. Katie Jo Williams, a member of the US Army National Guards and a combat veteran, learned on 18 August that she’d lost the title and been banned from competing in the upcoming Miss America contest. In a statement posted on Instagram, she said the pageant coordinators told her via emails that she was “too political” to be involved, and that the only way to stay in the contest was to delete political posts from her Facebook page. However, she added, the organisers failed to address her requests to clarify what content they found to be in breach of their ‘No Politics’ rules. Williams has created a separate Facebook page for the pageant, devoid of political statements, but she claimed that the organisers continued to voice their disapproval in personal communications of what she was posting on her personal account. These posts, in her words, included a picture of herself wearing a red ‘Trump 2020’ hat as well as expressions of support for the United States and criticism of the leftist political organisation antifa. Williams had regularly received calls from the pageant director, Susan Jeske, but insisted that she would only communicate via email for the sake of her own safety. “I stopped taking your calls because every time you were on the phone with me you told me you agreed with my political opinions and then in writing would softly scold me for them,” she said in a letter to Jeske, according to screenshots she shared on Twitter. Williams has also published alleged screenshots of online exchanges with Jeske, which appear to show that the pageant director encouraged her to take pictures with President Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., while wearing the Miss Nevada sash and crown.

I don't disagree with the pageant. I think these kinds of events should be about their stated activities, not let anyone decide they want to create a platform for their own politics. For that matter, I'd like to see Hollyweird, the music industry, sports use that same standard. People don't want to see politics and don't want to know the politics of competitors. They just want their movies, music and sports. Not more politics being injected to absolutely everything in public life. It surprises me that people don't see this. Americans kinda hate politics and they rarely choose to have more of it mixed in with their entertainment.
You're wrong you should be a ableto have a personal life too. Nothing she did was wrong.
Does “having a personal life” mean having the right to unilaterally breech a written agreement [contract] and break the terms set forth in such agreement? How do you figure that when it is reported that Williams signed a ”legally binding written agreement” to keep her politics separate from her ”pageant social media page”. It is also reported that the pageant said that Ms. Williams acknowledged both verbally and in writing that she understood these rules before she was accepted into the pageant. It is further reported that the pageant stated that Williams was posting her Trump-related political content to the Ms. Nevada Facebook page which is strictly prohibited. Continued HERE. I ask you ever so kindly to please explain to me how you figure: “nothing she did was wrong.” I am sincerely interested in your rational.
There is no breach of the contract. Show me the part of the contract she broke. You can't it's you speculating what the contract says.
I will continue … I trust the following will address all three of your charges. ALL the pageant asked of Ms. Williams, in writing, is to keep separate social media accounts. (ie: Facebook) One is for politics where she can voice her own opinion as Katie Williams and the other is a new Facebook page for the pageant representing Ms. Nevada State 2019. None of this had to do with her personal political views. They are immaterial. She has her Personal Facebook page to voice her political views. She could be a President Trump supporter on her Personal Facebook page all she wants for everyone to read. However, the Ms. Nevada Facebook Page should be devoid of political content. ________________ The Ms. America Pageant is a No Politics pageant. It is in our Rules & Regulations as posted on the pageant website and therefore available to read before applying to the pageant. It is also included in our contracts and requires handwritten initials and signatures acknowledging that you have read and understood the pageants rules. Ms. Williams acknowledged both verbally and in writing that she understood these rules before she was accepted into the pageant. Nothing on her Facebook Page had any political statements at the time she was accepted into the pageant. The purpose for these Rules and Regulations is that the Ms. America Pageant does not want to be seen as endorsing any political candidate or political cause. Thru many emails starting in July she claimed she could not comprehend keeping pageant and politics separate on her Facebook pages. The pageant made many attempts to speak to her over the phone to try to resolve this issue. Many times we wrote to her to try to set up an appointment to have a telephone conference, all of which she consistently refuse to do. The pageant believes that a telephone conversation is a reasonable request and was willing to speak to her at any time that was convenient for her schedule. The pageant gave her a final deadline to edit the Facebook pages which she refused to do. This leads the pageant to believe that she is no longer capable of representing this pageant as Ms. Nevada State 2019, and she is no longer eligible to participate in the 2019 national pageant. Her title has been revoked. The pageant offered her a full refund on her entry fee and refund on one ticket that she purchased to the pageant after she fulfilled requirements of returning crown and sash and removal of the title Ms. Nevada State 2019 from all social media and the Internet. ________________ PAGEANT WEBSITE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS ________________ AGREEMENT HAND SIGNED BY KATIE WILLIAMS ________________ REVOCATION OF TITLE LETTER ________________ ________________ https://msamericapageant.com/page.php?groupingID=miscellaneous16
Oh so you can talk about politics.
Oh so you [Katie Williams] can talk about politics. You will see in Post 20, a letter from Susan Jeske, CEO Ms. America Pageant, to Katie Jo Williams [dated August 18, 2019] where Susan Jeske enumerated 9 instances in Footnote 2 where Katie Williams violated her signed agreement. You can also read where Katie Williams was given ample opportunities to “edit” those posts and she “refused” to do so. It was never about her not being able to “talk politics” – it was always about her not representing herself as “Ms. Nevada” by wearing the crown and sash while “talking politics” and she violated her sign agreement by doing that on at least 9 occasions. So, Katie, say “goodbye” to your title …
That's a bald faced lie! Story and FOX News report HERE Noah Jennings, Williams' spokesman, told Newsweek that Jeske was allegedly sending "mixed signals” to his client. “Ms. America CEO Susan Jeske, who would encourage Katie over the phone, and then follow that up with emails and screenshots of things she took issue with,” Jennings said. “Katie separated pages, combed through to remove posts, and overall made every effort to comply with the requests of the pageant.”
That's a bald faced lie! Oh wait, - I see now – you used this Story and FOX News report to prove it’s a lie. Please now show your factual documentation to prove that Noah Jennings [Williams' spokesman] was telling the truth and that Susan Jeske [“Ms. America CEO] was lying. Hearsay in news stories will not suffice since they cannot adequately substantiated.
Please now show your factual documentation to prove that Noah Jennings [Williams' spokesman] was telling the truth and that Susan Jeske [“Ms. America CEO] was lying.
According to Williams, there was one instance where she thought what she was doing was ok because Jeske told her to take a photo with the president while wearing her sash. Williams then shared screen shots of the text message she received from Jeske. Williams was asked to surrendered her crown and sash, and to never speak of the pageant again, but by the tone of her tweets, this isn’t happening any time soon. *** BTW - This isn't the first time this has happened. Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and "insensitive" statistical tweets.pic.twitter.com/K1Btho0Pgq

It's sounding like TC and Gatlin like a PC world where your thoughts are forbidden to be thought or shared.
There are other times it has happened – in addition to the one you pointed out now. And it will happen again - again and again – I can readily assure you. It will happen to all those who act so “stupidly libertarian” as to think they do not have to follow the rules set forth by the organization they desire to associate with or to abide by the agreement they signed. American culture values independence, but sometimes independence can be taken too far. These ladies did – and you have always TRIED to …
[I gathered this last night, forgot to hit Post on it. This sheds some light on their organizational structure at local/state/national levels and also on their grievance processes.] To get an idea of the organizational structure, let's look at the grievance policy from their website. Scope: Address Local & State Organization Concerns. Purpose: Receive and facilitate the resolution of unresolved Local and State grievances. A fair process to resolve real issues of fact-based grievances which were unable to be resolved at the State Organization level. This does not replace your existing process for resolving local and state grievance concerns. Should a grievance remain unresolved in your state, this is another avenue for resolution. A State Organization may adopt this process if preferred, but it is not necessary to change what is already working for your organization. Policy & Procedure Grievance Notification: After unsuccessful resolution attempts with State Organization, Grievant can file an online submission to MAO’s Office of the CEO/President at https://form.jotform.com/80935860335158. Depending on the nature of the grievance, it may be required to be turned over to legal counsel. Submission to include detailed attempt(s) for resolution, as well as details of the complaint, including social media posts, emails, etc. Submission is confidential in nature and grievant must agree to confidentiality. Identity of grievant may be shared with interested parties to properly investigate grievance and obtain resolution. Multiple grievants will file individually, however they may be bundled during the investigative process. Grievance Committee: to review and investigate grievance. Random selection of three (3) members from Licensee State EDs and MASTA members for each occurrence, it is not a standing committee: Grievance against ED or volunteer – two (2) State EDs and one (1) MASTA member Grievance against Titleholder – two (2) MASTA members and one (1) State ED Selected panel is required to sign Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form before proceeding. Grievance Committee Proceedings: first committee meeting to be held within ten (10) days of MAO’s notification that grievance is accepted. At conclusion of investigation, the randomly selected Grievance Committee will make recommendation for any appropriate corrective or disciplinary action to Miss America Board of Trustees within thirty (30) days.

A legally binding written agreement is an agreement which is valid and therefore enforceable. It means that the parties who have signed the agreement are expected to fulfil their obligations under the agreement. If they do not, they may be penalised. Although agreements do not have to be written to be legally binding, it is a good idea to have a written record of what you have agreed to. This minimises the risk of a dispute by ensuring you and the other party are on the same page. This article explains the requirements you need to satisfy to have a legally binding written agreement.

Of course, Katie Williams can talk about politics. She was never forbidden to do so. She, however, signed an agreement where she is expressly forbidden to wear her crown and sash when talking politics.

You can also read where Katie Williams was given ample opportunities to “edit” those posts and she “refused” to do so.
