“Being Miss World America was horrible, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy,” said former titleholder Marisa Butler.
. “The MWA 2019 pageant was a success,” the spokesperson said to Jezebel in a statement. “While one of our contestants became gravely ill and had to be transported to the hospital, we were relieved when we received news she was going to make a full recovery.”
For one, Blakey had never worked within the pageant system before. But in an industry that’s still trying to rid itself of an oft-critiqued past, the appointment of an elderly man who was far from an advocate for women was a curious one. Blakey, according to his online persona, appears to live a and lavish lifestyle not unlike, complete with Ferraris and Lambos, jaunts down Rodeo Drive, private jets,, photos of women in evening gowns leaning sexily against a car, helicopters, and G-wagons.
“You might not have any control of what people comment on your social media, but you absolutely, 100% have control over how you respond to them,” Butler said. “Besides, he doesn’t have the authority to make Miss World let alone Miss World America jump in a pool for the entertainment of his followers without their consent.”Butler began to see red flags with the MWA leadership team from “day one.
Butler says Blakey continually taunted her about not signing the Electra Star contract throughout the following year, telling her that if she had signed that agreement, things would’ve gone a lot smoother for her.
