The Ugly Side OF BEAUTY PAGEANTS

THE MISS AMERICA ORGANIZATION FACES A SHOCKING SCANDAL AS ONE BEAUTY QUEEN ACCUSES A RIVAL OF BULLYING — AND MORE!

As a high school freshman, Robyn Kass-Gerji was named Miss Pennsylvania Teen America 2012. During her reign, she used her platform to speak out against bullying after years of being tormented by classmates. As the then15-year-old explained, “I’m constantly bullied at school.”

Now Robyn has been targeted again — this time allegedly by a fellow beauty queen on the Miss America Organization pageant scene. In June, a judge granted the 27-yearold a protective order — which has exclusively been obtained by In Touch — after she claimed Victoria Vespico, who was competing against Robyn for the Miss Pennsylvania 2024 crown, had been menacing her for months. Robyn reportedly produced in court hundreds of text messages in which Victoria threatened to stab her and run her over with a car. “I can’t wait to see the life leave your eyes as I crush your whole world. You will kill yourself or I will kill you,” read one text, according to reports. In others, Robyn’s rival threatened to kill her mother, boyfriend and pets: “I will… set your house on fire and [watch] you scream as your stupid dogs die. It’ll be so funny.”
