Lawyer: Miss America report finding no bullying a whitewash

Sep 10, 2018 | 9:45 AM

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The lawyer for former Miss America Cara Mund says a report commissioned by the Miss America Organization finding that Mund was not bullied by pageant leaders is “dishonest” and “a complete whitewash.”

Mund’s attorney Roger Haber says it’s clear the Miss America Organization wanted to brush off the allegations.

The report found no evidence to support bullying allegations made by Mund.

It was issued Monday, a day after Mund’s tenure came to an end.

She was not interviewed for the report.

Mund agreed to speak after the next Miss America was crowned, but pageant officials insisted on doing it before then.

Nia Franklin, Miss New York, was named 2019 Miss America in Atlantic City on Sunday night in the first swimsuit-less competition in the pageant’s 98-year history.
