Sheena Monnin Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin resigns claims Miss USA

Monnin became a household name a few years ago when she was sued by Donald Trump for US$5 million for calling the "Ms. USA pagent" rigged. She alleged that the Miss Universe Organization had predetermined the results of the Miss USA 2012 pageant. She ended up resigning her title as Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012.

A default judgment was entered due to faulty legal advice from her lawyer, who failed to prepare for or attend the arbitration hearing. Monnin was told by her lawyer that she didn’t need to attend the hearing. Because she failed to show up for court, the judge entered a default judgment against her for US$5 million. She later sued her attorney and was able to recover expenses and also resolve the lawsuit.

Miss USA 2012 controversy

In June 2012, Ms. Monnin said that another contestant, Karina Brez (as Miss Florida USA), saw the names of the top five on a telecast paper in the same order in which they were later called out. Brez later said she had made her comment jokingly. Brez went on to then say that she made the whole thing up, changing her story more than once. Monnin stepped down when what she said were those same contestants were named to the Top 5. Immediately following Monnin's resignation, The Trump Organization publicly denied Monnin's allegations. Following television appearances by Donald Trump and an interview with his attorney, Monnin appeared on the Today Show to give an interview with Ann Curry explaining her position.

On the night of the Miss USA awards, Monnin made a Facebook post calling the pageant "fraudulent", "lacking in morals", "inconsistent", and "in many ways trashy". Monnin refused to renounce her claims.

The pageant organizers initiated an arbitration proceeding against Monnin for defamation and damages, arguing that they lost sponsorship and reputation because of her allegations. On December 30, 2012, an arbitrator ruled that she must pay the pageant organization $5 million for direct damages caused by lose of sponsorship, but has not awarded the other demands of the organizers which was affirmed by the district court.

On July 2, 2013, Federal Judge J. Paul Oetken upheld the decision that Monnin must pay Donald Trump and the Miss USA pageant for direct damages caused by calling the pageant "fraudulent". The decision was based on the legal principle that arbitrations are rarely voided. The ruling stated: "The court does not take lightly that Monnin is compelled to pay ...a devastating monetary award."
