Teen pageant winner decrowned after dyeing hair brown

Debate with a 15 year old? Whose the child, here? Besides, I can't think of a single adult who ever won a "debate" with a teenager!

So if you aren't a blonde...you can't win?...

its all sterotypes the blondes are the stupid but hot ones and the brunettesand everyone else is left behind whats so great about beuing blonde

The brown hair is not very becoming and I doubt that she would have won with brown hair.

Success is not determined by how pretty your face is or what colour your hair is. It is determined by many things, one of them is being true to yourself and not to let people push you around like this. Way to go, Olivia! You are more than your hair colour and pageants shouldn't be shamelessly promoting shallow beauty over substance.

funny thing--her hair has dark roots--the blonde is streaks not her natural color and she was told to hand over the crown

Oh to blonde and blue eyed. the barbie syndrome rules again

personally i think her hair being blonde looked much better!she has alot to learn yes it is good to stand up for ones self and there are times for that. but one lesson to be learned is if you expect to get to where you want to go in life ,you have to understand you can not get your way all the time, and expect to succeed

hahahahaha this is a silly article
must say she was betta a blonde she look lik a boy wit black
if u didnt want ur feelings hurt u shouldve never entered in the first place
pageants are stupid tryin to look for people hurt their fellings then take away there crown
lol

You know I really don't see where the 'attitude' part came into play if all she said was MAYBE pageant life isn't right for her. It also sounds like the lady demanded her crown back. She freaking dyed her hair for heavens sakes she can always die it back or let it fade. They need to give her a break and give her the crown back. Kudos for her for standing strong. That Osborne lady sounds like someone who never could win a pageant because of HER harsh attitude.

Did you not read what the pageant said? Why are all of you ladies blaming the pageant now? They said they did not take the crown - she gave it back - and offered to have a live debate if the girl feels like all she said was true. I think the girl is rebellious and wants to get attention. She has an attitude issue - this has absolutely NOTHING to do with her hair color.

What,she won't go far in life because she wants to be herself & not be pushed around?

question, do you think if she had of colored her hair before the pageant that she would have won ? maybe, but i'm betting not! wish her lots of luck.

she souldn't of lost her crown....but if a contestant is crowned
with a natural hair color it should stayed that color...in the industry they want
a natural look natural hair things of that matter....but different pageants have different
rules...

Most of the public is not aware that these individuals that become title holders, pro-cheerleaders, and other high profile representatives are a marketing tool and many are made aware of rules and regulations, expectations and some even sign contracts to protect the organization they are representing. There are investments made by the organizations to have the image of the individual who has the title on their website, photos for autographing, flyers and other printed items, sponsors photos that are displayed at their place of business and these individuals are recognized by the public for that image. If they need to trim or do subtle hair highlights those changes are usually okayed but to go from a blonde to dark is changing the image and for example if a child is getting an autographed photo with a blonde haired queen on it and the queen herself has black hair ? "That’s not you, you have black hair!" it would cost more photography sessions, printing, web image etc. So there is a practical reason for many of the basic rules and regulations that the public might see as over the top, but there are reasons and individuals looking to be a representative of any pageant or pro-cheerleader squad should understand this commitment and follow rules and regulations like any basic job requirement because it is a job and they receive many sponsor gifts and services and like a job if you do not follow rules and regulations you are dismissed. So if they are not ready to make that type of commitment for the entire reign or entire season and cannot follow rules,regulations,expectations or not responsible for their own actions they should not consider being a role model ,pageant queen or pro-cheerleader and that’s okay because it takes a unique type of person and it’s not for everyone.

It's a beauty pageant... what do you expect?

These are all racist b------ s who are a bit lesser than the evil hitler on a scale of 10.

Well first of all shes a very beautiful girl with dark or blonde hair. Second clearly she was asked to give crown back and the only reason they ask for a debate is for publicity. She should have kept the crown and shes a very strong girl for keeping the dark hair. P.S for all those that say she looks better as a blonde .... she has make up and shes all dolled up in that photo ..... the other with dark hair doesnt show her with make up so for all you know she looks even more beautiful than she already is. YOU GO GIRL YOU HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE!

you gotta be kidding me !!!! thats the most assanine thing i have ever heard !!!!

Red, brown, black or blonde, she still has that gorgeous girl face. Looked better as a blonde though.
