The Alarmist - Een podcast door The Alarmist

Who’s to blame for the Vanessa Williams Miss America 1984 Controversy?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Maria Blasucci (host of The Big Ones) to discuss the highly controversial and highly problematic decrowning of the 1984 Miss America Pageant winner, Vanessa Williams. Should nude photos taken years prior to the pageant, and published without her knowledge or consent, have cost Vanessa the crown? Was some good old fashioned 80’s sexism, racism and homophobia at play here? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join this in-depth pageant parley. Join our Patreon!We have merch!Join our Discord!Tell us who you think is to blame at http://thealarmistpodcast.comEmail us at [email protected] us on Instagram @thealarmistpodcastFollow us on Twitter @alarmistThe   Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist.
