Los Angeles, Calif., United States (4E) – Miss Pennsylvania 2012, Sheena Monnin, resigned via Facebook, declaring the Miss USA pageant was rigged and that it went against her moral principles, E! News reported Tuesday.

“The Miss Universe Organization can confirm the resignation of the Pennsylvania title holder after she did not place in the Top 16 at the Miss USA pageant,” a representative said in a statement to E! News.

In a lengthy Facebook posting explaining her resignation, Monnin said another contestant saw a list of the competition’s top five beauties even before the show began.

The Miss Universe Organization says otherwise. They said that Monnin’s resignation email said she was quitting because of new rules against transgenders being allowed to participate in the prestigious pageant did not sit well with her.

Her letter to the Miss Universe Foundation, forwarded to the Daily Mail, included the following, “I refuse to be part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against every moral fiber of my being. I believe in integrity, high moral character, and fair play, none of which are part of this system any longer.”

The 27-year-old beauty urged the Miss USA contestant who saw the winning names beforehand to come forward as an eyewitness.

    The pageants have been getting more and more unfair since Donald Trump took over.
    He has been criticized for being unfair to contestants. One he forgives for living the wild life using cocaine and partying all night instead of fulfilling her duties and forgives her and lets her keep her crown. Hence we witnessed the Rosie, Donald Trump fight on tv when she accuses him of being a man who publicly cheated on his wife and then married the girl then got bored with her and divorced her and married again has now become the moral compass of young girls.

    If she saw the five names on paper it would have been good to have gotten a photo of them but she does have a witness. As for her comment on males –that is her opinion and as always right or wrong we all have a right to that.

    I think it is preposterous that someone would be such a sore loser and could not accept that our state winner is a complete and total winner… she needs to move on, get a life, go eat some Hershey’s chocolate and get fat
