Complaint Review: Ms. America Pageant

Whoever wrote the comment about Kelly having sex with a Black man in the car is not true. I personally know Kelly Tran. She is a TV news anchor and her personality is not like what Susan Jeske wrote in the comment. This is a lie. I was there at the pageant and this pageant is just a scamp. I also met Kelly husband, who served in the US Marines Corp. Kelly told me that she personally know Susan from Virgelia pageant. She also said before the pageant, Susan asked to see if Kelly would like to pay $3K to get the title of Ms America Pageant. Kelly told her that she dont have that much of money and would not like to cheat that way. She entered the pageant just for fun and I just cant believe that Susan would make up story about her making love in the car with a Black man. This is untrue. I am the witness and so is anyone else in the pageant. Same on Susan Jeske for making up story about her. What a b****.

Whoever posted the last post is ignorant and misinformed.  To the point that I would even start to call several other unbecoming names.  First, Kelly is NOT the poster that claimed Ms Jeske is a "racist." Moron.  The first poster is not listed.  Kelly actually DEFENDS Ms Jeske.  Read and pay attention.  Second, Kelly stated very clearly that she actually did compete in the pageant, although she did not win, she DID compete, she was not "ejected" for this lewd behavior that you state.  Third, it is very much the pot calling the kettle black stating that the supposed behavior that Kelly engaged in was tacky, etc, because YOU are the one that goes online and posts these horrible, and what I have a feeling are untrue, comments.  The original poster and the last poster both have horrid grammar and syntax and I can barely understand either one of them.  I'm pretty sure I can see why neither one won- they are obviously not very educated.

Kelly Tran is a disgruntled and bitter contestant who was caught having sex in the pickup truck of a Black Haitian with dreadlocks.  This took place in the parking lot of the beauty contest.   Kelly Tran was dismissed from the contest for this lewd behavior and she now calls Ms. Jeske a racist????  Ms. Jeske is a highly acclaimed lady of high moral fiber while Kelly Tran is quite the opposite.  Sex in a pickup truck during day light hours with anybody of any race is tacky at best.

My name is Kelly Tran, and I was contestant #4 at the Ms. America pageant held on September 6, 2009 in Ontario.  I was truly honored to have had a chance to participate in the Ms. America pageant, as it was a beautiful experience that I can now add to my other achievements. I have competed in many pageants in the past, Including the Mrs. Vietnam Southern CA 2008, were I took first place. I have experience within the pageantry industry and knowledge as to what to expect when competing. When I was contacted to participate in the Ms. America Pageant I was thrilled so I did, however I regret to admit that I was not the luck winner of the 2009-2010 Ms. America Pageant, as that award went to Bridget Cleary from Massachusetts. I am truly happy for the winner, and at no time would I have slandered Ms. Bridget Cleary neither pageant nor Susan Jeske. I have never stated that the pageant was fixed nor would I ever slander any other contestants as we all went in to this competition with open eyes, giving it 110% of our ability and praying to win. The crown went to the winner as the Pageant Judes casted their votes. I personally did not agree with my outcome however, I know that the winner was chosen accordingly. This Pageant is over, so give it up if you did not win this time around, and lets all better prepare for the upcoming events.

This is Susan Jeske, President of the Ms. America Pageant. Because of the false accusations & lies on the various message boards, I find I must defend the reputation of the pageant, myself & many people including the Contestants, volunteers & sponsors.

Unfortunately in the spirit of competition there was a Contestant that when she legitimately did not win instead of gracefully accepting defeat & growing as an individual from it, her only retort was to put blame on someone. By reading all the postings one can tell that the negative ones are coming from the same person.  The same misspelled words are seen over & over in different messages such as scamp instead of scam, kina instead of kind of, fix instead of fixed, joint instead of join, effort instead of efford.  She even went so far as to post different notices on various complaint boards under fake names/email addresses or making it seem like it is coming from different Contestants who competed in the pageant such as Daphne Rice or Sue Drakeford. She posted one message claiming she was a Contestant from KINSLEY, KANSAS which is FALSE because there was no one from the state of KANSAS that competed in this years pageant!

The pageant knows who it is for various reasons. One is because of her writing style, poor grammar & her inability to use the English language properly. All Contestants were required to fill out an APPLICATION FORM, & write a one page BIOGRAPHY & PRESS RELEASE. Some postings are signed off (instead of a period to end the sentence) with her normal =) that she uses when she sends emails to everyone.

When called on it, she then posted another message plagiarizing from a MISS ASIA USA Pageant Blog copying word for word the first & last part of the second paragraphs, just changing pageant titles, name & year.  Click onto attached photo to read the blog or

Scroll down after The new Miss Asia USA is Diane Yoo posting & read the first response.

The above post has one of her signed off =) and claims that I am racist which is FALSE! Over 60% of my queens are from different nationalities including: Asian, Caucasian, Latino & Middle Eastern. I have coached many women from all over the world including African/Americans who have become state, national & international titleholders.  

Two months before the pageant this Contestant tried to bribe the Ms. America Pageant for the title in various ways to no avail. During the pageant she was aloof in her own corner, late to rehearsals, including the JUDGES INTERVIEW. After the pageant she called me on the phone & said that the winner walks like a crab & that her $5000 gown should have won over the winners.

One posting states that BEST IN EVENING GOWN was not given out as promised which is FALSE.  All OPTIONAL AWARDS were given out & OPTIONALS were scored by a separate judge that had nothing to do with the outcome of who was chosen as the winner & runner ups. Even if there was a BEST IN EVENING GOWN award based on scores she still would not have won. One judge (man) gave her a low score (6) in EVENING GOWN.  When asked why, his opinion was that the gown was too sexy & that the slit was too high up. When she turned he claimed that he could see everything, which he felt was not appropriate for a Ms. America titleholder to be seen in. The pageant phrase; Different day, different judges, different winner, is so true.

Heidi Ritz, Shannon Morgan, Daphne Rice & Sue Drakeford who were Contestants in this years pageant have all posted signed statements in favor of the pageant & Susan Jeske. Other Contestants have sent thank you letters & have posted messages on the MS. AMERICA BLOG with good wishes to this years titleholder Ms. America 2009-10, Bridget Cleary.

2009 PAGEANT FACTS:

Cost to enter the 2009 PAGEANT was $220.00. NO REQUIREMENT to sell ads for the program book. NO REQUIREMENT to sell tickets to the pageant. I do not know of any other National Pageant where the entry fee & requirements for the pageant are so minimal. All Contestants received a 3 day 2 night hotel stay at over 1000 Marriotts to choose from. (A $200.00 Value).

Contestants drew numbers from out of a box the day before the pageant which decided what placement they would be in the pageant competition. All Contestants received at the same time the Final 8 Questions the night before the pageant. Two days before the pageant Jane Smith, Ms America 2007-08 advised the pageant that she could not attend the pageant because of a family emergency. The emcee Alisa Kimble who is a former Miss California USA was asked to crown the winner in her place & she graciously agreed.

OPTIONALS such as Ms. Photogenic Award, Community Service Award, Ms. Fitness Award, Woman of Distinction, etc was scored by a SEPARATE JUDGE & had nothing to do with picking the winner & runner-ups. All this information was posted on the website & all Contestants were given this information ahead of time.

Pageant was based on 25% Interview, 25% Evening Gown, 25% Sportswear (long black pants & red top) & 25% Onstage Question for Final Top 8 Contestants. You can see the video on the pageant website where you can hear all the answers to the Final Onstage Question.  Tabulation was done by Mr. Osborne who has been in the pageant world for over 40 years & has a stellar reputation. All judges signed off & agreed that the winner was the winner BEFORE she was announced on stage. The new queen & ALL Contestants walked away the night of the pageant with ALL prizes & Hotel Certificates as promised. After the pageant JUDGES SCORES are available to all Contestants who request it.
