Miss NJ Won't Submit to Snaps Shakedown

The beauty queen from New Jersey who's being blackmailed over a few supposedly racy pictures is refusing to give in to the Internet-trolling slimeball who's trying to get her dethroned.

In a defiant press conference yesterday, Amy Polumbo, who won the Miss New Jersey crown last month, said that she would not "quietly disappear," even after getting a package in the mail with pictures and a demand that she quit by today. Her lawyer, Anthony Caruso, wouldn't say how spicy the shots were, only that they weren't "that bad" and that she's pictured "with friends." Er, like Katie Rees and friends?

Neither Miss America nor Miss New Jersey pageant officials commented on the situation. Polumbo will compete in the Miss America pageant -- if she keeps her state crown.

31. What's wrong with this picture? Or lack of them.
With every Meta-Crawler, U-tuber's , blogger's, and the starving media, these alleged photos are not on my screen yet?
No way!

32. Ive known amy since kindergarten. She will do anything for attention. She's fake and two faced. I don't believe that she is blackmailing herself though. It's not the pictures that are bothering her, its the comments that are placed under the photos. I dont think she would pose in any compromising manner considering that she has wanted to be someone famous her whole life. She's smart enough to know that it would end up coming back to haunt her. I do think that she is using it to her advantage. Getting more searches done on her name getting her name on almost every news site there is. She's dragging it out much further than it really needs to be.

I really like the big words she's been using. I wonder who is writing her speaches?
