Isaac Brekken/Getty ImagesOlivia Culpo won the Miss USA pageant in 2012, but Sheena Monnin, who competed as Miss Pennsylvania that year, alleged that the pageant was rigged and the top five contestants were selected before the show started, Business Insider previously reported. Two days after the pageant, Monnin called out the organization in a Facebook post and announced she was resigning as Miss Pennsylvania, according to The Guardian. "We cannot allow a disgruntled contestant to make false and reckless statements which are damaging to the many people who have devoted their hearts and souls to the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageant systems," Trump said. Though the details of the settlement are not public, The Guardian reported that she used the money to pay Miss Universe.
