Sierra Sandison who was crowned Miss Idaho 2014 last weekend was stripped of her crown today due to her Type 1 diabetes. Miss Idaho pageant officials stated that Sandison filed a fraudulent application for the contest as she did not reveal that she was handicapped and because of her deception she must forfeit her title and crown, but she can keep the year’s supply of Idaho potatoes that were part of her prize package.
When reporters questioned pageant officials about not being aware of her condition and the insulin pump that Sandison wore during the competition, state pageant chairwoman Sadie Klackenbacher said “I thought it was a Walkman and she was just jamming to some tunes”.
Sandison has retained an attorney is contemplating legal action against the Miss Idaho organization.
