Can someone tell me what the Miss USA scandal is about?

I don't really know major details, but the Miss USA moved to New York after winning her crown and got caught up in the party crowd. There was a lot of talk about removing her title but Donald Trump stepped in and said she was a good girl who just got caught up in the excitement, so she's going for some counselling and is keeping her title for now. I don't know the extent of her partying or how close she was to being fired. I feel sorry for her, it must be quite a temptation when suddenly you're in a situation where everyone's doing it and you haven't had the background to know how to deal with it all.

Thanks Kitt, but what did she do? Drugs? Got drunk? What?

Juileboo: There has been reports she tested positive for coke, but it was not addressed today, just her drinking. The Donald said she was a good girl from a small town and is giving her another chance and she must go into rehab.

I also heard she placed her crown on the bar and went crazy. She's under age to be drinking, too.

Bummer. That happened to my sister when she lived in Hawaii many years ago. Of course, the house my sis lived in was pretty much a surfer shack and Evangeline's was probably a lot nicer. Still sucks, though.

It's horrible. I've had my house burn down twice. Once when I was a toddler, the dryer exploded and gutted the basement. I remember being held by the firemen and sitting in the big shiny red truck. Didn't quite grasp the concept of the loss, though. 2nd time I was 17, the whole house gone. I was at work, an early morning shift, and I was listening to the radio. 6am news I hear, "House fire in the south end of town". Hmm, I live in the south end.... 6:30 news, "House fire on Brown Street." Hey! I live on Brown Street. 7am news, "House fire at 123 Brown Street..." OMG that's MY house!! I almost got fired for leaving work that morning, cause my boss was still in bed and didn't want to come in and cover, so I just closed the shop and left. Wishing Evie all the best. What a terrible time of year for that sort of thing to happen.

You wanna hear about creep bosses. I took a week off when my dad died and the day I came back to work I got fired for taking a week off. And not a single person I worked with even sent a sympathy card or anything. Why? Because the boss I called to tell the day my dad died never told anyone else. What a jerk.

I was on family medical leave with all appropriate paperwork signed sealed and delivered and was downgraded in my eval from outstanding to average for missing work.

I got laid off not long after my mom died and when they knew my dad was being screened for lung cancer and would be having a valve replacement and heart bypasses in order to be able to survive the lung biopsy. Such delicate timing.

those stories are disgusting. i'm so sorry you all had to go through that. i think someone should start a new thread about horrible "bosses" (and move the above posts there). i know we have all dealt w/idiots in the work place...what makes this even more disgusting (obviously)is the fact that you were going through a very difficult time and were treated that way. i'm surprised how many of you have had to deal with that. horrible!

i have been fortunate in that i have always worked for wonderful people. (well, my first job was at the IRS. i went to college full time during the day and worked the night shift 5pm-1am). i didn't work for anyone horrible. in fact, my co-workers were lots of fun to share a "night" with...since it was the IRS, though, we were all "machines" and the building looked just like a prison. after that, though, it was all great. in fact, when i worked for CBS, whenever an employee took off because of death in the family....part of my job (human resources/personnel) was to send flowers to the family.
