Melissa King, Miss Delaware Teen USA, resigned her crown today after facing questions about an online sex video that claims to star her.
“I would like to confirm to you that the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant has received a resignation letter from Miss King’s attorney,” pageant spokeswoman Dara Busch wrote in an e-mail this morning. A porn website posted a sex video Monday featuring a woman who looks and sounds like King and claiming it is the teen pageant winner.
King, contacted Monday, said she was aware of it, but denied it was her. “Absolutely not,” she said. “It is not.” The video, an amateur recording running just over five minutes, starts with an interview on what appears to be a hotel bed. The woman does not give her name. But when the man, who is not shown or identified, interviewing her asks when she turned 18, she says “about three months ago. March.” King’s birthday is in March, according to the Miss Delaware Teen USA website.
That portion of the interview fades into another set of questions where the interviewer asks her about being a “A Miss Teen?” When the woman acts reluctant to talk about it, he says “I’m not going to say the state or anything. … You did beauty pageants?” “I’ve done them, yes,” she responds. While King won the Miss Delaware Teen USA title in November, at the time this video was shot she was the reigning Miss Teen Delaware International 2012.
