It didn't take long for the new Miss USA to become embroiled in a scandal: Rima Fakih--an Arab-American from Dearborn, Michigan, who was crowned Miss USA on Sunday night--was exposed on Monday as a former champion pole dancer by radio show MojoInTheMorning.com, which posted photos of Fakih participating in the "Stripper 101" contest at The Coliseum Gentlemen's Club in Detroit in 2007.
MojoInTheMorning.com congratulated Fakih, a former Catholic school girl, on their website, adding "Much like Miss Michigan Kristen Haglund who won Miss America in 2008, Rima is a Mojo In The Morning listener who has joined us in studio and at events. Check out Miss USA Rima Fakih when she won Mojo In The Morning's "Stripper 101" contest in 2007."
Here's one photo, you can find more photos at MojoInTheMorning.com.
Since Mojo posted the photos, RadarOnline reports that pageant officials have contacted the radio station. A spokesperson told RadarOnline.com that they "asked for any unreleased photos that we have. We do have a few, but we're not sending them out. When we asked if everything was ok and if it would affect her crown, they said they couldn't make a comment on that right now."
Mojo's spokesperson also adds "She won a personal stripping pole for your house and we had an adult company that gave away all kinds of toys and dirty things that make me blush."
