Miss Hawaii, Brook Lee, was crowned the new Miss USA Wednesday night after George Hamilton asked the finalists how they would deal with weight gains of Miss Universe-like proportions. “Miss Universe has recently been the subject of a lot of press attention about her weight, if this happened to you, how would you handle it?” Hamilton asked.
“I think I would take a good hard look at myself, and I’d look from the inside out, and I would know that I’m the same girl that won the crown that day and it wouldn’t really matter what I look like on the outside because I won,” Miss Hawaii said.
Lee succeeds Ali Landry as Miss USA. The title comes with more than $170,000 in cash and prizes, and a chance to compete in the Miss Universe pageant in May.
