It’s not the first time we’ve heard a ridiculous answer being given by a contestant at the Miss USA contest – and we’re sure it won’t be the last – but this answer from Miss Utah Marissa Powell was shockingly bad.
In fairness to Marissa Powell, it was a terrible answer to a terrible question. In the final questions round, Marissa was asked by judge NeNe Leakes about the nature of gender inequality in the workplace. However, NeNe worded the question in such a way that poor Marissa just froze and began saying whatever came to mind.
Mortifying for Marissa, but it’s nothing compared to this…
While it was an unforgettable slip of the tongue by poor Miss Utah Marissa, she didn’t actually do that badly with the rest of her questions. As for the ‘beauty’ part of the pageant, you can be the judge:
