Univision is dropping the Miss USA pageant and says it will cut all business ties with Donald Trump over comments he made about Mexican immigrants.
The network said Thursday it will not air the July pageant and has ended its business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which produces the Miss USA pageant, due to what it called "insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants" by Trump, a part owner of Miss Universe.
Trump says he was only criticizing U.S. policies concerning Mexico, not its people. He says Univision is in default of a five-year contract.
Miss USA presenter pulled out
Univision's decision is the latest in the fallout over Trump's remarks: On Thursday, Puerto Rican actress and Miss USA presenter Roselyn Sanchez severed her ties with the pageant. And on Wednesday, Colombian singer J Balvin cancelled a planned performance.

(20,582 posts)I love the gowns. The rest of it, and the competition ...... blah.
But I would actually switch the channel for Project Runway - that show was awesome.

(20,277 posts)Project Runway, I would watch. That is talent.
Some of the gowns were okay. I haven't watch any pageant in years. I vaguely remember thinking that they were bad prom or bridesmaid dresses.
I like the Academy Awards for my fix of awesome gowns.

Lordie - he was just so wild. Saying "Too bad" for Mexico - I tell it like it is. It's all about money - Why did they call me to apologize? "
He just ranted on and on and I immediately thought - What would this man be like in a serious situation running the country ? It would scary as shit.
It was deja vu....he's up in the polls just like he was last time - and you can tell he thinks he's going to be the next president.
