Can beauty pageant contestants really be so mean?
On Saturday night in West Palm Beach, smack in the middle of the Miss South Florida Fair pageant, someone ruined a $3,400 dress belonging to Jessica Wittenbrink, 21, with red lipstick. The red streaks on Jessica Wittenbrink’s gown were discovered backstage during the Miss South Florida Fair pageant on Saturday night. Pageant organizers and Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies met with the 13 contestants, but deputies say there’s not enough “conclusive evidence” to name a suspect. It wasn’t clear if the lipstick was sabotage or random vandalism by someone unrelated to the pageant. The lipstick streaks failed to hold Wittenbrink back, however. The contestant not only wore the marred dress during the pageant, but also ultimately scored the Miss South Florida Fair crown.
