My tolerance for hypocrisy is as close to a negative number as is allowed by law. With the rise of amateur internet porn, it's going to be difficult, nigh impossible, for a lot of "institutions" to continue denying participation to those who have nude pictures or videos online. The recently crowned Miss USA, Olivia Jordan, now finds herself in a similar predicament, but not for the reasons you may be thinking.
According to Inquisitr (link below), Olivia's contract to participate in the 2015 Miss USA pageant may have precluded her from consideration for participation due to her appearances in a number of films and television shows, a position that we're apparently only seeking clarification on after she not only participated but won the competition.
The Miss Universe beauty pageant bills itself as a wholesome event. The rules specified in the standard contracts are very strict and do not allow for anything improper like nude photos or sex scenes in a movie. So, if a video ever featured Olivia Jordan naked, then it is possible she could be considered in breach of this contract.
Just how strict exactly is the Miss USA contract? While the Miss USA organization does not usually share the exact details, the public was offered a peek when Miss California USA 2009 Carrie PreJean sued Miss USA. Prejean was stripped of her Miss California USA crown for alleged breaches of contract after she answered onstage questions about legalizing gay marriage. Officially, the pageant officials dethroned her for the release of topless photos, but PreJean sued and the Miss USA contract was made public.
Here is an example of one stipulation offered by the contract:
“I have NEVER appeared on any television contest, game or reality show or applied to be a contestant or participant on any television contest game or reality, and I have NEVER appeared, or agreed to appear, in any other television show or motion picture.”
Right, now Olivia's appearances in films and television shows were all prior to her competing in the tournament, which would seem to indicate that someone saw this and either approved her participation anyway or knowingly ignored it. In actuality, the only reason anyone is digging this up at all is the fact that, as we've already reported, Jordan bared her butt for one of those roles.
Why is this a problem? The Miss USA contract also specifies that any beauty queen may not have any partially nude photos, which may conflict with Olivia Jordan’s sex scene.
“I acknowledge that, by way of example, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any way, having appeared in public or permitted myself to be photographed in a state of partial or total nudity or in a lewd, compromising or sexually suggestive manner constitutes a violation fo (sic) this provision (this includes photographs or images that may appear on any web site, such as MySpace or Facebook.)”
Now, they do go so far as to admit that this is a six year old contract and that the notoriously tight-lipped organization may have since revised its rules, but a pageant insider admitted what we all already know when it comes to beauty pageants: The fact that they still exist in 2015 is proof positive that they never change.
“It has never changed,” a pageant insider told The Inquisitr. “The rules were the same in 2009 as in 2013 as it is in 2015. Pageant contracts are consistent and do not change on a whim, especially when pertaining to nudity and the TV/film appearances clauses. It’s pretty standard for any pageant system to have these rules.”
Perhaps if we start focusing on happier things like, say, Olivia Jordan's spectacular ass, this story will have a happy ending. In fact, I'm gonna cut it off here and do just that. Enjoy...
