    Omg to hear you were going to wear Olivia's Dress in MU instead of the red one! I'm dead!! I can't even stand the fact that it never happened. You were so great your year, I remember Olivia's year too so well. Both of you I couldn't pick a favorite because you two were the BEST. I will tune in next time, thank you for sharing your experiences!

    If the MUO/ MUSA Org fired you for being active as Miss USA on socmed it would make them an @$$hole because you did great during your year... nowadays socmed is so important for pageantry

    Thank you for taking us on a back stage tour of your Miss USA year.... BTW, your red finals dress at Miss Universe is one of my top three all time favorites at MU...the dress was gorgeous and you looked stunning. Who was the designer? Lastly, a belated congrats on the new additions to the family.

    Hello gorgeous Nia and the "Mr USA" Daniel, This was such a refreshing insight into some of the never-heard behind the scenes information of your year as Miss USA. Its interesting you mention feeling of sadness when you are in a position of influence and authority as this is similar to the story that Deshauna Barber(Miss USA 2016) also shared on her YT channel. It may not be exactly the same circumstances though. I love hearing about all the stories leading up to Miss Universe especially because I recall you had shared that winning Miss Universe was really a priority for you. Thank you for sharing these with us. I enjoyed watching this very much 🙂

    I understand sneaking people in especially partners, but still, having other women living in the same apartment, I think it is just right to have those rules in place. I still love the confessions, it is so raw, which makes us think of beauty queens as real people.❤

    The social media thing, I can kind of understand since, like you said, it wasn't in the contract and you would want to benefit from it after your reign, but letting your fiance stay in your apartment when they specifically have a rule against it is disrespectful to the organization that selected you to represent them, out of dozens of qualified candidates. It was also only for a year, and he was allowed to visit. I'm sure that would infuriate any business owner to know that someone they've entrusted to work for them and represent them was being sneaky and breaking their rules, right under them. So interesting that you were supposed to wear the gown Olivia wore! I'd LOVE to hear your Miss Universe stories! How did it differ from the national competition? And are most of the girls and staff genuine?

    Interesting. Fast forward to now and the current Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and the social media director for Miss Universe have all resigned!! Apperently there was a lot of bullying behind the scenes and the titleholders were not allowed to post on the official media accounts. I'm sure more info will be coming out in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

    you have no idea how far you've come. being able to discuss sexual needs and desires outside of marriage was still not something women of your stature were allowed to do even in the eighties. Good that you discuss it openly . Also "randos from the club" is hysterical because you aknowledge that it happens and you don't shame it.. Good for you.. also depression happens for all kinds of reasons so discussing it is normal. thanks.
