The massively obese woman, Sara Milliken, is NOT the real Miss Alabama.

Some tiny copycat pageant called National Miss gave her this title. They have no affiliation with the Miss America pageant or even any of the large copycats.

The Miss USA pageant, which made a dude with plastic surgery a 2024 contestant, was purchased in 2022 by a transsexual media tycoon from Thailand named Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip.

His company, JKN Global, acquired the failing pageant at a fire sale price of under $20 million.… pic.twitter.com/L7lXPXMF2d

Editor’s Note: In this special guest post, longtime OD commentator Courtney from Alabama corrects the record on the fake news story that went viral about Miss Alabama. – HW

I have mentioned a few times on The Political Cesspool that in Alabama we are like a big family. Please refrain from incest jokes. That isn’t what I mean. What I mean is, like with a lot of other Southern states, we have an attachment to our soil and a ton of pride. When Alabama gets attacked it is like my family is getting attacked. I am writing this piece today to clear some recent misconceptions about Alabama that were irresponsibly spread by our media.

In recent news, an obese young woman in a red dress was plastered all over the internet along with the words “Miss Alabama 2024”. Her picture along with that phrase was repeated all over social media for at least one day (at least). It didn’t take long for the usual Southern = fat jokes to fill comment sections. I saw predictable comments like “ well it is Alabama” or “ isn’t she fitting for Alabama?”.

One of the problems with the above narrative is that she isn’t Miss Alabama 2024 in the first place. When the story was passed onto me, as a woman from Alabama, something didn’t seem right about it. In Alabama we take pageants seriously and have a long history of sending beautiful women to Miss USA and Miss America. So unlike so many sheep out there, I did my own research.

It took me less than a minute to find the real Miss Alabama USA 2024 who is pictured below. Her name is Diane Westhoven and she was crowned on June 1st of this year. She will go on to represent Alabama in the next Miss USA pageant. She looks far more typical of what Alabama sends to such pageants. The obese woman, Sara Milliken, won a far less relevant pageant that focuses on “inner beauty”. The only reason she is famous is because the media labeled her as Miss Alabama.

What is sad to me is the number of people in our own circles who fell for the hoax and misrepresented my great state on social media, further initiating the usual fat jokes about Southerners. I try to be classy and won’t dare call out names but you know who you are. Shame on the people in our movement who did this. It isn’t the first time I have seen it. This sort of thing just spreads further regional animosity within our ranks, and it is part of why I am so protective of Alabama and the South on The Political Cesspool.

The people who perpetuate these Southern fat jokes have obviously never walked around any college campus in the South. I have personally known men from up North who came down here for school and were blown away by the beauty of the women. I don’t say this out of arrogance but just to emphasize that we have plenty of our own beauty down here just like any other region does both here and in Europe. Most of you reading this should already know this.

I would like to end by providing the link that shows the candidates who participated in Miss Alabama USA this year. The faces here are typical of what you see in pageants down here. But maybe I should falsely convince all of you that 90% of women in Alabama weigh 200 pounds. It might keep more transplants away.
