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 shed 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.

Saying that you hate Antifa and one of their thugs murdered 9 people in Dayton Ohio and you wish they would rot in hell. If she said something like that. That is not political.
Did any of them say they were queer on their pages? If so that is political and since they were inconsistent breach of contract.
My point is there are tons of ways to sue them. Not that she will or necessarily should. But she sure can.

Katie Williams was stripped of her title for representing herself as Ms. Nevada by wearing the crown and sash when those political statements were made.
I have no need, reason, or desire to do so for it would serve absolutely no purpose here since she was not stripped of her title for making political statements.Since are apparently are so desirous to see those then you can look them up yourself. You will find the links in Footnote 2 of the REVOCATION OF TITLE LETTER in Post 20. I trust you will have no difficulty in performing that task.
There you go again, stating your personal opinion. Which you are of course entitled to do. However, stating your personal opinion changes nothing and will rectify no alleged wrongs since Katie Williams was stripped of her title by a legal action because she violated on at least nine stated occasion an agreement she had signed.Gatlin posted on 2019-08-25 12:19:46 Reply Private Reply

How did MAP breach the contract? MAP stated that she could and she had one.But MAP stated that she could not wear the crown and sash in pictures posted on a political page and she did as shown in nine occasions.
She violated here written agreement and she was stripped of her title.

Oh wait, - I see now you used this Story and FOX News report to prove its a lie.
That is no proof.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.

That being the case, then she was obviously not stripped of her title for the posts she is referring to here.She was stripped of here title for wearing the crown and sash in the links in Footnote 2 of the REVOCATION OF TITLE LETTER in Post 20 for political statements
An irrelevant supposition which never took place and there is no valid reason to discuss this hypothetical here. Same answer as stated above. There is no way she can sue them for stripping her of the title since she signed a covenant not to sue. [See Post 29]. She CANNOT sue them for stripping here of the title since she signed a covenant not to sue. [See Post 29].Uh, what was your point again?

They are legal and binding, just like any contract.
Certain types of contracts cannot be enforced even if someone is stupid enough to sign them. This isn't one of them.

I comprehende from reading more than enough of the Deckard posted articles that newspapers, other media lie by slanting their headlines especially shit put out by the NY Times.
Since I could not read the story directly, you made me work and it took me a while to get to the bottom of this.
Yes, there was an exception in New York State where if you've been injured due to negligent actions, you can sue even if you signed a waiver.
Was Katie Williams injured due to negligent actions by the MAP?
No.
No, I dont comprende because you cannot ALWAYS sue.You showed me one exception I will accept that, of course.
I ask you to now show factual evidence that can ALWAYS sue after you have signed a covenant not to sue.
Can you show me that

Sure you could. You could scour the other contestants pages especially the runner up. Then say something they said is political. Something everyone said is political. Again i'm not saying she should just she could.

It could be argued that she was injured, emotionally and financially.
They singled her out because she supports Trump.
She didn't tell anyone to vote for Trump that I know of.
Everything is political, or you can make that case. She could say they were being political because she just likes our country and the President. Nothing necessarily political about that.

That will NOT matter. Two or more wrongs will never make the first wrong be right.
All that would do would cause other contestants to be stripped of their titles if it were shown they violated their signed agreement.

Whom she supported is of no consequence. It has no bearing on the resulting action. She violated the written agreement not for supporting anyone, but for wearing her crown and sash on political statements posted in Facebook. That makes no difference. She could have shouted to the world by any and all means to vote for Trump. She however could not be involved in political activity while wearing the crown and sash. She was at least 9 times and she was stripped of her title But you cant be a MAP contestant and wear the crown and sash while making that case. The old could-would-should. But she dis say that. She wore here crown and sash in at least 9 pictures where political statements were made and she was legally stripped of her title for doing that. What is this supposed to mean?Gatlin posted on 2019-08-25 14:56:04 Reply Private Reply

She was, no doubt. And she agreed to be subject to the pageant's rules and directives. She was, in essence, applying to be the employee of the pageant for one year if she won the national title.
And she signed the contract, knowing that other contestants in previous years had been stripped of titles with no legal recourse.
If you sign their contract, you have to abide by their rules.

She can file the paperwork certainly. I'd bet the first time a judge hears the case, she'd throw it out of court.
The courts don't have any desire to litigate the role of political partisanship in beauty pageants. I can't imagine any judge wanting that case in their court.

When you say she can sue - You are only expressing your personal opinion. It is not a Legal Opinion.
Im sorry to say and I wish to never offend you that your personal opinion doesnt mean diddly squat. You will need to please furnish a Legal Opinion to substantiate and validate your position.I firmly stand behind my many-times stated conviction that Katie Williams cannot sue the MAP for stripping her of her title. In addition to the many other reasons I have stated tp you, I will now add the following:
Furthermore, I substantially believe that the MAP can sue Katie Williams for Breach of Contract.Gatlin posted on 2019-08-25 22:36:26 Reply Private Reply

The worst outcome for Miss Nevada is a judge who decides to make it clear to all the beauty queens out there that they shouldn't try to sue their pageants. In that instance, the judge could admit the case and allow it to proceed for a while instead of dismissing it immediately. Then the judge would toss the case and leave the litigious beauty queen facing the court costs and the defendant's pricey legal team hired by the pageant officials. Then she might face a countersuit as well.
Recall how Stormy Daniels was suing under the representation of Creepy Porn Lawyer and found herself owing $300,000 in legal bills? Like that. She'll be stripping from town to town until she's 75yo to pay that off.
You don't get to drag the courts into anything if they don't want to be involved. And you have no recourse unless Congress passes some black-letter law to enforce.
Just because they could, in theory, counter-sue her doesn't mean they'd be foolish enough to file such a lawsuit. Too much downside, not enough to gain. The pageant wants to stay on defense, for publicity reasons if nothing else.

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 isnt 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

The CEO of MAP linked to 9 different instances she did not.
So she alleged and provided no supporting factual documentation to that effect.
The agreement she signed NEVER changed. It specifically stated NO POLITICS. [See Post 20]
This an unsubstantiated claim by you.
She signed the rules and she violated the rule stating no politics on at least 9 specific occasions. [See links in Post 20].

Not at all. I am very much a free speech guy.
However, if you are competing for a chance at scholarships, paid travel, maybe a chance at modeling or in video journalism and you are entering some beauty pageant to try to open those doors, that is essentially a job application to become their employee and reap those benefits. If they restrict something like politics (or appearing in porn) by contract, that is their right as the owners of the pageant and as a brand that is used to attract worthwhile candidates to their pageant. In that case, the rules are what they say they are and can be arbitrary (by design).
It's their pageant. And she read and signed their contract. She further has knowledge that both state pageant winners and even a few national pageant winners have had their titles taken away for somewhat arbitrary reasons not involving illegal behavior by a contestant. And once she had won the state title, the state pageant director is increasingly unimportant (even if she urged her to get pictures with the Trumps) and the CEO and national director and pageant board are in control. When they told her "no politics", she should have cleared every bit of political content off her pages, both personal pages and pageant pages. Because if she didn't do that, they would have legal cause to strip her title and she would have no legal recourse.
People do sign away their free speech rights every single day in non-disclosure agreements. They sign away their right to apply to work for the competitors of their current employer via non-compete clauses in their contracts. They sign away their intellectual property rights for their inventions in employment contracts that say that anything they produce while employed by a company belongs to that company even if their invention is not directly related to their work product at that company.
Pageants have always been a shady operation, run by scumbags. You'd better understand up front before you ever apply for one exactly what you're getting into.
It doesn't help this former Miss Nevada that beauty pageants are, by definition, stupid. And clearly arbitrary in choosing winners. The ex-Miss Nevada is very unlikely to find a sympathetic court to hear her claims.

But I love those crutches. They're LP and LF memes that are very popular.
Establish a room full of people and they may never agree on who they like. But they will always find someone to hate. Online forums reflect that basic truth.
LOL. Gotcha!
And it is gay porn. Clearly a rainbowed black man hugging a stars-n-stripes white man, both with shaved heads (eliminates racial attributes of hair texture/color). The photo is strongly suggestive that both are entirely nude and that their genitals are touching each other's hips. Notice that White Uncle Sam is cradling his head on Black Rainbow's shoulder in a submissive and emotively receptive attitude toward Black Rainbow. This is a message, clearly. And my description of it is way too honest for Twitter to allow to be peddled on their little propaganda venue. The photo is, in fact, a cheesy ripoff of Mapplethorpe's photography but without the charm of a bullwhip rammed up his butt and snapshotted for posterity.
Anyway, it's totally gay. And you posted it.
