The leadership of the Miss America Organization has resigned, after The Huffington Post published a series of emails in which the organization’s CEO and its employees referred to the women contestants as the C-word and “malcontents,” called former winner Gretchen Carlson a “snake,” and shamed another former winner about her weight gain. In response to the exposé, 49 former Miss Americas called on the organization’s CEO, Sam Haskell, and other leaders to resign. Haskell and other members of the leadership then resigned over the weekend.
