Mrs. America Pageant Sues -- We Gave You Our Women, Where's Our Money?

Mrs. America doesn't give it up for free ... even to bigshot TV producers ... and now the company behind the pageant is going after a network that aired the competition without paying up ... this according to a new lawsuit.

The Mrs. America pageant (it's like Miss America without the oral sex ... just KIDDING!) ... claims it had a deal with My Family TV to bank 50% of all ad revenue on the broadcast of the 2011 contest.

Mrs. America claims My Family TV had 60 days to pay up after the May 8th broadcast -- which featured Florence Henderson BTW -- but the network has flaked out in a big way.

Now, Mrs. America is demanding their money -- more than $50,000.

So far, no comment from My Family TV.
