The Miss USA 2024 finals have ended for more than 10 days, but the contest is still controversial. This year, beauty Alma Cooper - representative of Michigan state won the right to represent the United States at Miss Universe 2024 held in Mexico.

Accordingly, right after the Miss USA 2024 final, Dani Walker - Miss Montana 2018 posted a clip on her YouTube channel to talk about the scandals of the contest, attracting the attention of the audience.

Dani Walker said she contacted several contestants for Miss USA and Miss Teen USA this year. Many of them said one judge was busy using her phone during their interview.

During the Miss Teen USA 2024 semi-final night and Miss USA national costume show, some contestants fell into the gap on the stage. They told Dani that they were not allowed to rehearse before going on stage to perform.

In addition, some contestants said the stage lights were too bright, making it difficult for them to see, leading to them falling into the hole.

Some contestants said the competition organizers provided too little food, leaving them hungry. During a tea party, contestants were only served biscuits and small sandwiches.

Because many contestants complained of hunger, the organizers ordered extra food in the evening. But the contestants were given only a few minutes to eat before being asked to gather to watch the Miss Teen USA semi-final night.

At another meal, the contestants were given only vegetables, no meat. For two days, their lunch was fast food. During a rehearsal, the contestants had French fries, cookies and candy. One contestant said she had lost about 4 kg and could no longer fit into the dress she had prepared.

Dani Walker said that in the year she competed in Miss USA 2018, contestants were given delicious food and clear meal times in their schedules. Contestants were given a buffet with a variety of options.

In the clip, Dani Walker also said that the Miss America organizers did not hire photographers to take pictures of the contestants on stage during their performances. Therefore, there were very few images of this year's contest in the media.

Dani Walker also revealed that Miss USA 2023 Savannah Gankiewicz (who took over the title of Miss USA 2023 after Noelia Voigt relinquished her crown) confirmed that all allegations of bullying of Miss USA and Miss Teen USA 2023 contestants are lies. Savannah said that Miss USA president - Ms. Laylah Rose is a wonderful person.

However, Savannah Gankiewicz's comments still failed to appease beauty fans. They expressed disappointment with the contest and said that Miss USA was entering a period of crisis and strong decline.

Miss USA 2024 is highly anticipated by audiences after a series of recent scandals. However, the contest is poorly organized and its appeal is decreasing.

Miss USA and Miss Teen USA 2024 took place over a week with no side events. Many commented that this year's pageant was quick and lackluster.

Right before the final round, the organizers announced the schedule for important competition nights without prior preparation, causing the audience to criticize the competition for being unprofessional.

Alma Cooper was crowned Miss USA 2024 in early August. She will represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant in November this year. According to CNN, Alma Cooper is currently an officer in the US Army. She has a master's degree in data science from the prestigious Stanford University and a bachelor's degree with honors in mathematics from the US Military Academy. Alma Cooper is one of the highest-ranking cadets at the US Military Academy and thanks to that, she was able to attend Stanford University as a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and is currently pursuing a master's degree there.

At Miss USA 2024, the beauty convincingly defeated 50 contestants from across the United States in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. Coming to the competition, the 22-year-old beauty said she wanted to emphasize the importance of solving food security issues for everyone. In the question and answer session, Cooper said: "I am the daughter of an immigrant worker, a military officer, and a proud woman of Afro-Latin blood. I am living the American dream. If there is anything that life and my mother have taught me, it is this lesson: Life circumstances do not define destiny. You can succeed by striving for excellence."
