She simply did not go forward because she refused to sign the contract every other contestant signed. This was just one of numerous lies by her."
Beauty pageant winner Kayleigh Bush used to admire Miss America, but now she's ripping the organization for being unable to define what a woman is ... along with disagreements over trans women, which led to her being stripped of her crown.
We got Kayleigh on Capitol Hill and our photog asked her about her beef with Miss America ... and she explained how some controversial language in her Miss America contract led to a falling out.

We now have the first videos and images of a person of interest in Nancy Guthrie's abduction from her Tucson, Arizona home more than a week ago.
The images appear to be taken by a Nest camera from Nancy's front door and show what appears to be a holstered gun on the front of the person's waistband ... as you know, Nancy's blood was later found on the front stoop.

Potentially big development in the Nancy Guthrie abduction ... our law enforcement sources say whoever kidnapped her from her Arizona home is also from the Tucson area.
Multiple sources involved in the investigation tell TMZ ... the operating theory is that the ransom notes were written by the kidnapper, and those notes provide clues on where the abductor lives.
TMZ has focused for several days on the alleged kidnapper's choice of media outlets to receive the letters. The first letter was sent to 2 Tucson TV stations and TMZ. The second letter was sent to only one of the Tucson stations.
Our law enforcement sources believe the person who wrote the ransom note was very familiar with the local stations ... so much so that it leads them to believe the Tucson area is the abductor's home.

Jeffrey Epsteinhad a massive stash of videos depicting young, scantily clad females -- and we're now getting a glimpse into the pedophile's perverted world -- although none of it is criminal, at least according to the Department of Justice.
The DOJ recently released roughly 2,000 redacted videos as part of the latest dump of the Epstein Files ... and while you can see several of the victims in their underwear ... at no point do you ever see Epstein, or anyone else, touching or engaging with them in any way.

In the 'Today' host's latest video, posted Monday afternoon, she appears alone and says they believe their mother is feeling the love and prayers from the public.

Trump posted a long critique on his Truth Social platform, kicking things off by saying Bunny's show — which the Puerto Rican entertainer sang in Spanish — was "absolutely terrible" and "one of the worst, EVER!"
The commander-in-chief also said Bunny's show didn't make any sense because nobody could understand a single word he was saying. What's more, Trump said the performance overall didn't represent American standards of "success, creativity, or excellence."
Trump continued to rant about Bunny, wrapping up his review by calling the show a "slap in the face to our country."
