Miss Washington -- One Bad Apple!

Posted Jul 9th 2008 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

Miss Washington 2007 might wanna take the crown off before flipping off the camera, getting her Beer Pong on and making suggestive oral sex gang signs.

Elyse Umemoto, who was the second runner-up in this year's Miss America pageant, ran on a platform promoting diversity and women's empowerment. The Evergreen State must be so proud.

Miss Washington Executive Field Director Mike Miller tells TMZ the organization is "embarrassed," and issued this lengthy statement.

46.

Yet another sign that many young people have completely lost connection with morality. Sexual aggressiveness in behavior, dress and attitudes seem to be becoming the norm rather than an anomaly. Are they mimics of their "role models", what they see on movie screens and television? It has to be coming from somewhere.

And it's not getting any better, either.

47. She is young and dumb. If she was going to allow pictures to be taken she should have taken off the crown. It is unfortunate some girls do not realize the permanacey of film and photographs, they never go away...

48. I 100% agree with #30. If you had met Elyse you would know exactly why they are not pulling her title. Besides the fact that she will be giving it up in a matter of days anyway - she is an amazing speaker, person AND queen. We will always be honored to have had her as our Miss Washington. Elyse is such a funny girl (of legal drinking age) who made a mistake. I know she feels horrible for the embarassment she has caused herself and the organization - but I agree she should retain her crown for these last few days. Whats worse is this person that "leaked" these photos during her final week - an aweful betrayal of friendship.

49. Once again the puritanicals are at it again. She's a kid. Let her live a little. Why don't you get back on the Mayflower and go back to your mother England.

50. Each of you who are talking bad about someone you don't know should keep your comments to yourself. You obviously are basing your opinions on this one instance and haven't done any research on the girl she really is and what she has done for the Miss Washington program. For those of you who are not a fan a pageants do not know the true pageant world. The Miss America program does so much for young women and our country and no they do not just say whatever they think will make them "look" good. While the choices she made during these pictures were not the best, think of the times you have done something you regretted and someone found out. That probably wasn't your intention and I know this wasn't hers. Miss Washington is a wonderful young women with great potential and huge plans for her future. I am proud to have her as a representative to our state. How dare you speak ill of someone you don't even know.

51. She is terribly ugly. I don't see how she received a crown in the first place. She seems to be a little slow, (missing a few cards out of the deck) if you know what I mean. I say take her crown and beat her with it. It couldn't hurt anything...you can bet that.

52. Leave the girl alone...she gives up her crown to the next Miss WA in 4 days anyway. Let her enjoy her last week as Miss WA.

53. I can only imagine how this girl is feeling.

54. What is wrong is that she misrepresented herslf while competing for the crown. Do you believe the judges would have voted for her had she shown herself truthfully? I am certainly not saying I never made any mistakes, but I never held myself out to be anything I am not, nor did I post my mistakes on the internet. Ahhhh, to be young and stupid!!! I imagine as the years progress, and she seeks employment, these pictures will become an embarassment.

55. SHAMED!!! Tough...doesn't look like anyone forced her to act that way...maybe now she will think before she acts like a slut...and remebers there is a thing called "internet"..you can not hide anything in 2008!!!

56. She's hot, and typical of her generation. Times have changed people, deal with it and move on.

57. Put her over my knee for a good spanking...bad girl...

58. Beauty pageants are a joke, I can't believe they still exist. This girl is hot and typical of a lot of girls these days, times have changed. I'll bet if it was some guy expressing the same behavior nobody would blink an eye - enough with the double standards, we should be way beyond that.

59. These pageants are and will always be a farce. Ms. Washington has no class or brains for that matter. Doesn't she know that these kind of pictures always come back to haunt you?
