Trouble in the Wheelchair Pageant Circuit
Proving once again that scandal touches all. That most august institution, the Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin Pageant stripped Janeal Lee of her recent 2005 title. Apparently, she was seen standing in a public photograph. This caused a shockwave of repercussions to rip through the wheelchair pageant community.
One of those repercussions was the resignation of Jen Onsum, coodinator of the sister pageant in Minnesoda. Ms. Onsum stepped down from her job to "stand up for Janeal Lee." To me this seems a hollow gesture since Ms. Lee appears perfectly capable of standing up for herself.
Personally, I don't think this will hurt Lee's career. I suspect that with their nose for controversy, Playboy will be calling shortly.
