I can't wait till state pageants get back on track. But, until then, let's see what Miss USA's been up to. Don't forget to check out my latest MU coverage for other national pageants here >>> bit.ly/3av7tCo
She is now resigning her position
Hi Dani! Rewatching this since Noelia quit this morning!
That's really sad! She was my pick to win, and I'm surprised that she didn't do better at Miss Universe.
It has gotten…embarrassing, our country’s Miss USA representative. Not so much Miss USA herself, but rather the organization. It is downright ridiculous how little support our representatives are being given. It’s humiliating! Why doesn’t she have a stylist?!? I have so many ideas to make Miss USA so relevant again in this country. And it really doesn’t have to be this way. It’s getting worse year after year. 🙄 SMH!
I agree, our queens need a team around them to help them make the most of their year.
Absolutely @daniwalker! The organization could make her an IT girl. During her reign, for exposure she should walk the red carpets at nearly every awards show wearing the latest designer fashions. Why isn’t she presenting awards. She could do that for at LEAST the Grammys and the People’s Choice awards. To promote the pageant why not give up and coming designers an opportunity to design and make an evening gown or other wardrobe item for her, with her collaboration. Her photo, with the winning design and designer should be promoted in Vogue, Elle, or Harper’s Bazaar to also try to promote American Designers. These candidates devote much of their time and energy to prepare themselves, becoming the best versions of themselves for ONE position and the organization stiffs them on the prizes. It should NOT have taken Miss USA MONTHS to get into her apartment…and it was Miami NOT Los Angeles? 🙄. A stylist should be the bare minimum as Miss USA, in addition to representing herself, she is representing the Miss USA organization. Why not let one of her prizes be a walk on or even a small speaking part on a popular TV show. The very fact that the Miss USA IG page is a joke is a missed opportunity. They could hold a contest for a high school or college student skilled in social media platforms or majoring in a related field to maintain the Miss USA social media website/page for the organization to get the message out more. This could be something that could be put on a resume that they maintained the social media platforms for the Miss USA organization. And this is just the very short list of ideas to try to help promote Miss USA. If the owners are just trying to get the most money for themselves, running the Miss USA organization is maybe not for them. Because if so, they are doing these women a disservice. Soon, no one is going to want to be Miss USA because more and more there seems to be no return on the investment for these women who give their all preparing for this historic pageant…and I wouldn’t blame them one bit.
Hi,Dani , please tell the Ms.USA representative to go to the Philippines.There are many Filipino teams who will help her without compensation.
@@mimzyLassiter Money doesn't grow on trees and fashion designers don't work or provide exclusive custom made gowns for free. For Christ's sake, be realistic. What exactly does the titleholder do to bring money INTO the company? Next to nothing...so there you go.
@@independentvoter5174 My God! Chill! You sound like you’re about to pop a blood vessel. It REALLY isn’t THAT deep. Take a nap. Wow! 🙄
Had something similar happen when I was a state titleholder. It’s so frustrating to not be able to speak out when people are asking you what’s going on. It’s a challenge to stay professional when there’s issues behind the scenes. I feel for these ladies!!
Soooo true 😭💕
I got my comment deleted on the Miss USA page deleted THREE times asking if she was only getting 4-5 months in her apartment and with her car since it came so late in her reign… that was very odd to me.
😂😂😂 sounds about right
Thank you so much for continuing to advocate for Miss USA and Teen USA. Girl there's definitely something going on, and I feel so bad for them. The amount of chaos that the public has seen can only be the tip of the iceberg. Also, do we even know if she gets to keep the car? I hope so. Noelia was WAY more active on her socials before this and I feel like we got to see more of their personalities. Now a lot of it seems pre-approved and manufactured. I'd definitely want to be more confident in the organization if i was a future contestant.
Can somone make Dani the national director for Miss USA, like ???
I love that idea lol
@Kalemoore very true
If I won the lottery, there would be signs... Dani Walker would be President of the Miss USA organization because I'd buy it and make her President, I'd make Regina (Wisconsin USA 18) the VP and some other formers be on the board to run the organization, i just want to be in charge of the telecast 🥰
Also, I'm not really sure why, but I feel like Dani and Regina's energies would make for great leadership and partnership, so I would make them be President and Vice President. 👑🥳
@@lttoverlord oh my gosh! I love my sister Regina!!! 💕💕
@@lttoverlord 😂 my dream is to basically HAVE my own international beauty pageant and make it as famous as a Grand Slam pageant. But I'd need to be a billionaire for that lol.
I feel like if a Missosologyst win the lottery... There will be signs in the pageantry world 🤭
if you told me in 2019 that miss america would be booked, busier, and more organized than miss usa, i would have been shocked 🫨
‼️‼️
Right? Miss America has the BEST appearances this year
I look forward to watching your videos. Not only because yours is factual, well-thought and incisive. Your videos represents your genuine love, care and concern for pageantry and the community it organically built which binds us all together (queens, fans, organisations, etc). Please keep this videos coming. We will be critical. YES. But because we care!
“Critical because we care” well put ❤
I remember a time when being Miss USA you have a such a jam packed schedule that past titleholders had complained and even sued the organization for being overworked and underpaid.
Past titleholders have sued?
Carole Gist sued the MUO , and she was encouraged by Gretchen Polhrmus and even Courtney Gibbs confirmed this was not an over reaction.
@@PungiFungiI seriously wonder why they sued when the organization gave them such a huge opportunity, plus they knew what they were getting into. I think it was Gretchen who said that she would relive her Texas reign but not her USA reign. It’s weird, anywho they were great tho
@@SpedUpSongs2007 in the case of Carole, she claimed she had to work 7 days a week with no time off and was not reimbursed for some of her expenses and she did not get all of her prize package, and the suit was onoging when she gave up her crown to her successor so when you watched Miss USA 1991, Carole's smile was forced.
@@PungiFungi is she gonna sue for being miss universe? She was pretty close. Anywho they literally knew they signed up for the job of Miss USA. I know these girls were only 20-22 years old but still
I love your channel and have been meaning to send a quick super thanks! I'm not a pageant girl, clearly lol, but I do find some of the information you've presented to be helpful to me in other areas.
I actually used your present-past-future way of telling the interviewer about myself, and I felt that once I nailed that, the rest of the job interview was less stressful. Oh, and it was for a sports job, so somewhat different from pageant, haha
Oh my gosh! I am so glad you were able to use that strategy! They you so much for supporting the channel. It's a really big deal to me. I appreciate you! I hope you got that job!!
@@DaniWalker I did! 🥳🥰🕺🏻
@@lttoverlord oh my gosh!!! Congratulations to you!!! 👏👏👏👏
The resignation!? I'm sure you will analyze this shocking turn of events in an upcoming video.
I hope miss USA is ok, healthy and happy. I am concerned for her! Prayers from here in south Florida❤.
I pray for their health and happiness too.
She’s doing great just really busy ❤️
I’m so worried for them, and frankly, for anyone under the MU umbrella. Things are just not going well. Our Miss USAs deserve better than what we’re seeing…imagine what we don’t see 💔💔
I'm concerned about what we don't see as well.
Thank you so much for these videos! I’m sad at the state of the MUO as much as anybody and I’m glad you’re shedding light on the issues.
You're very welcome. I try to keep these updated
And here we are on May 6th…sad to see for these girls!
Hi Dani!! I attended the Miss/Miss Teen USA Louisiana pageant over the weekend and both winners were crowned. I had previously attended USA (Nia's year) but never a state pageant before. It was RPG(?) production and other title holders were there (state titles). Frankly, I was blown away by the beauty of the 2023 Teen and Miss winners (Avery and Sylvia) - I was able to see them relatively close up. Seriously - they are 20 on a scale of 10 pretty! Plus they were really nice to everyone and genuine. I wasn't as close to the 2024 winners but both competitions seemed highly competitive (I happened to sit next to the teen winner's family and they were so excited - it reminded me of when you sat by Kentucky's dad at USA). Anyway, I really enjoyed it and the pace and method of doing the final night was really thrilling. I thought all 4 RUs in the Miss division should/could another state's title - and I'm hoping in particular that the 4th RU goes for it (her shoe broke during the finals and she fell - handled it well - but it was unfortunate). I could see her at Universe. I go back and watch USA and Universe pageants over the years (from when I was a kid) and see how I feel about them decades later. There are outcomes I better understand now and some that I still go "hmmmmm". Anyway, love your channel.
In recent year's Louisiana contestants have state hopped then won another title. There's just too many great contestants there. Not enough crowns to go around.
Love your look today !
Thanks so much!
i LOVE the fact that you took the Mary & George red carpet with Nicholas Galitzine as the reference
I keep thinking about how the previous Miss USA had to do everything herself to even attempt to make the most from her reign.
I understand there is an adjustment period. But they are making too many mistakes. The girls could be doing so much more even if it’s just local.
Totally agree. There's been organizational changes before and it doesn't mean the world should stop for the queens. They need to receive prize packages in a timely manner and make appearances.
Love your content ❤
Love this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also if you look at her resignation letter. It spells out “I AM SILENCED” It’s spells out with the capital letters in each sentence or paragraph. Look at the letter you will see what I mean. She did that on purpose!!!
Not all of us are ladies-ill catch up on the drink tooHA. Been waiting for this .........great attention to detail.
Im confused by the apartment situation. She posted her new apartment in Utah. What happened to Miami?
I mean it’s the Miss USA apartment and they dropped the ball and only has a few months in it before a new Miss USA is crowned so of course she has to look for an apartment and soon. But I did see her looking in the DMV area, not Utah.
Hi Dani, can you walk us through and let us know your thoughts about Ariadna Guitierrez MU2015 First RU comment/story on the reality show La Casa de los Famosos about MU2015 coronation. She somehow mentioned that Miss USA Olivia Jordan was something like the witch of the competition l. Couldn’t understand SPANISH, kinda curious.
Conspiracy theory… both runners-up are about to take over I mean, I don't think so, but then again with this organization, you never know.
The teen declined but the miss accepted.
I was trying to look for this comment. I was half joking when I posted this but didn't realize that it could/would happen.
We gotta get an update video!!
No one should be made to sign anything under duress
Nope! Makes the contract invalid
Can you do a video going over all of the systems ?? I was thinking about competing under USA again but I wanted to try out a different system and now all of things I’m learning make me extra hesitant
I have to agree, when I saw the movie premiere look, I immediately thought “she went to a prom store to pick this up”. I don’t want to sound harsh but MISS USA is suppose to be an “elevated woman” in the sense and stand out (in a good way) amongst the crowds or AT least look like she belongs there. Noella’s looks come off very green to me.
And seeing Umas story really through me off and signals to me that something very shady is goin on behind the scenes. As an avid pageant fan it’s very obvious they aren’t getting the experience and opportunities that old winners would get. And now our TEEN is speaking out?!Very concerning
Elevated is a great way to put it👌🏼 and yes, very concerning to me as well.
Can you do a video on pageant walk and transitions!!!
Dani I'm fan 😍
Thank you so much
I've been saying that R'bonney should be the official stylist for the Miss USA organization it makes sense .......
Dani, Miss USA looks good in anything. She just has that face you know. Sone women look good in anything. Miss USA is that type of woman. Dani you are that type of woman. Other women have to pay particular attention to what they wear, how they do their hair etc.
Look I don’t know what’s going on… I LOVE Noelia I really do because she seems sweet but anyone of us that LOVES pageants knows her reign was doomed from the moment they crowned her(if you get it you get it) I repeat this is NOT an attack on her!
On a different note, call me old fashioned but it seems Miss USA should be given an American car as a prize. If I was the head of the Organization, I'd be courting a company like Cadillac to be a sponsor, not a German brand like Porsche, Mercedes or BMW. Layla needs to start thinking big and that usually means bringing in big sponsors.
That’s a good idea!!
✔✔✔💯
Can u do a reaction video for the MUPH 2024 hello glow runway challenge?
Who’s here post Miss USA resignations and when $hìt hit the fan? Dani predicted it!
🙈I’m still here
Dani, I’m about to buy your pageant prep videos on your website but I was also wondering if you did any zoom calls? Or what your rate is for that? I’m a Miss Utah USA contestant and have some specific questions I’d love to get your opinion on!
I offer one-on-one virtural appointments as well :) daniwalkerofficial.com/product-category/coaching-services/
I would think there are HR departments (or a person) within the organization for the staff. That person (who should be impartial) should also include and support the winners with an open door policy for them to report any issues. Problem is, that person is probably in favor of the organization and not the winners, which is why they are silenced. They have no one to turn to within the organization and that’s sad. Even if you are getting a check and other perks you should not be treated poorly.
I recently listened to Nia Sanchez’s interview with Morgan Romano and I wonder if the girls are dealing with many of the same struggles as she had. Do they not have a handler? Are they being sent off to these events, red carpets alone? Managing their own calendar and wardrobe? Very interesting to hear when they are allowed to share but agreed it doesn’t sound like a positive experience!!
Wow, this is crazy. Following another influencer on IG who has signed up for her state pageant. She is totally gung ho (veteran of 3 other state pageants this is her 4th rodeo). It’s going to be fun, listening to both sides of pageantry going forward.
I think we all just got another clue how Miss USA is doing 😢
I forgot that we even have a miss usa .
😭
Can u please do a video about praveena Singh and your thoughts of why she didn’t get crowned/will she ever?
Of all the MISS USA'S it seems like the current and last year's( Morgan) got the short of end of the stick.Lets hope it all gets worked out soon.
She really did and it makes me so sad.
the intro😂
do you remember miss Teen 2022 1st runner-up *Jenna Beckstrom* I hope she's still interested to compete in the future
She's the BEST choice for miss USA in the future
Even the social media accounts of Miss Universe has posts that has wrong captions
Like wtf???!
Gurl it’s April where are the state pageant winners?
The org dropped the ball on franchise contracts so the state directors couldn't hold state pageants until an agreement had been reached. The entire situation could have been avoided but wasn't due to serious mismanagement.
As far as future content, maybe report more on the Miss America organization. They seem to have risen from the ashes and the winner is everywhere. Would be good to see who the new class will be and follow up on the current title holders. Just a thought.
Dani , PLEASE TAKE LAYLAS SPOT
also i am going to be super real the graphic designs on the Miss USA Instagram page looks like it was created in 2003 like the visuals are not giving at ALL
The Car Make confusion is hilarious! I'd take a Porsche or a Mercedes or BMW over my Honda Accord though, no complaining about any of the 3.
I feel ya. But, since she won there could be a big difference in trade in value of the cars. So I'd also understand if a queen would want the car listed in her prize package.
Yeah but that's not how it works. It's not about complaining, it's about clearness. Contracts are legal documents, they can't promise you something and give you a different thing, be a nice car or a pair of shoes, doesn't matter, you have signed for a specific product.
@@Lilla88able exactly 👏 you’ve entered into a legal agreement.
Dani:
I'd bring Paula Shugart back to run Miss USA president. I would also get Fox back to televise Miss USA & Miss Universe. I doubt it. I do remember the CW did televise last year and got the highest ratings in 10 years. Keep us posted. Thank you.
Prayer for the fact that they aren't getting paid and do not have the support of a team.
The current state contract is LONG. It’s way too long. Looks like something created by a law firm trying to squeeze money. I used to prefer MUO over MAO because the contract was so much shorter. Not the case anymore! Would love to see what the national contract is like.
Oh, I haven't seen it.
I had my state competition agreement read over with my attorneys at my job
@@Kay-cs8pm what’d they say about it
How long is it?
Things going on backstage are baffling, especially when it's alleged. 3/4 months to go before the new titleholder is crowned. I do hope the current queens can stay till then.
The amount of feedback from fans on their social media could backfire on the queens with their organisation.
Is their personal social media restricted?
Isn't Miss USA's director's contract for two years?
I asked because if that is the case, this would indicate that there are requirements that the director has to live up to or face some ramifications.
Is it then possible, as a result of the kerfukles that have transpired subsequent to the pageant - those you previously blogged about and now in this video - that the director may have gotten a non-performing review and may have been informed that her tenure will not be renewed.
As a result, she does not care.
With the co-ownership of the Miss Universe Organization, and Miss USA is under that umbrella, could there be something/someone in the works to replace her with someone else who has/will fork out huge sums to handle the Miss USA Organization npthing the owners love for the green back [$$$]?
Is it possible that we may see a return of Crystal Stewart, minus her husband, at the helm of the Organization; specifically, since Crystal Stweart plans were to bring back the glam/ramp up the glam quotient something which she obviously did during her tenure?
I've heard of people mention a 2 year contract, but it's not true. Contracts depend on what was negotiated between Universe and a franchise owner. These numbers vary.
If anyone does step in, I don't believe it would be Crystle because of the allegations surrounding her time as director.
I always wondered.. Has Layla even ever competed in a pageant?
Yes, in Mrs. Pageants
Hate me but i missed the trump era
They did a great job managing queens in that era ❤
I agree 100%
@@suitcase6698 Yeah, the era…NOT TRUMP…ever!
Make Miss USA and MU great again!!
Noelia’s story today is concerning.
I’ve been creating episodes for the past 3 months. Some think I’ve been blowing things out of proportion. The reality is that I’ve only been able to share a little bit
Omg im the first view! Ahhhhh how did i accomplish this 😅
Dedication and determination 💕
What has been going on with Miss USA? Haven't heard much about state pageants, and the current Miss USA stepped down. Miss Universe is in all types of controversy. What's going on with those 2?
Yeah, it’s suspicious.
Start a go fund me to send Dani to MISS UNIVERSE so we can get the real T.And if Miss Mexico wins Miss Universe she best be the clear winner like Sheynnis Palacios and Romney were..
Can this be a possible sign that perhaps Miss Universe is trying to take away their license and creat a whole new org?
well, she wasnt ok
Let's remember that Miss USA is under MU and MU is...a circus.
I like you
Listen, we can be so hard on people & not even know what’s going on. The new Miss USA Organization just took on this Role! This is their 1st year. EVERYONE RELAX! They are trying to figure this out. Instead of Pointing at everything wrong, how about allowing time & grace during this 1st round. If I remember correctly, y’all ripped Crystal to shreds during her 1st year of ownership also. Y’all can be so hard on people, y’all don’t even know & trying to embrace their new roles by establishing the future for the new organization.
So, we're going into the third year technically, since the org was awarded to it's new owner in 2022. No one stepped in from the USA or Universe org to help Morgan Romano, R'bonney's USA successor. The org already produced the 2023 pageant and is prepping for the 2024 year. Typically by this time all state queens have been crowned. The ball was dropped and state pageants were pushed backed to late summer. Now contestants have little to no time to prep for nationals or promote the live event leading up to finals.
If we use the Trump to IMG transition to compare and contrast, the pageant lost it's broadcasting mid pageant in 2015, after contestants had already arrived. They made it work and Reels picked up the broad cast. Olivia Jordan was still highly promoted during her reign. She had a NYC press week, stylist, regular appearances and received her prize package. This is a veeeery different experience than what the 2024 queens are living.
They're not getting paid and Layla is worse than Crystal.
those premiere looks you pulled as a reference weren't it babe 😩😭
Those were the only ones I could find online. Didn’t say they were the best examples.
Laylah lay in bed at night, and has lah nightmares about dani walker
Have you seen the pre-selected candidates for MUPR 2024?? 🇵🇷👑
maybe she's pregnant
Is this like Princess Kate again......
It’s nothing like it.
If Donald Trump is still a boss then he knows what to do and everything will be back to normal
He sold MU in 2015
@@DaniWalker I know that. He was the expert
