And apparently, she is less crazy now. Good for you, Tara!
Former ‘Mess USA’ Tara Conner Faces Her Demons Again: But Does She Regret the One Million Dollars From Playboy?
As we’ve learned this week, pageants are full of drama — but for some, the fairytale doesn’t begin until the crown has been handed over.
Tara Conner hit headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2006 when she almost lost her coveted “Miss USA” title after it was revealed she was abusing alcohol, drugs and engaging in other not-so-pageant-perfect acts such as reportedly kissing Miss Teen USA Katie Blair. Pageant-owner Donald Trump forced her to enroll in the Caron Foundation as a condition of keeping the crown, but the Kentucky-raised blonde is not ashamed of being the only titleholder ever to be publicly propelled into rehab.
“It was such a struggle in the beginning, I kept asking myself why I had to go through this with the world watching and why was I being forced into rehab,” Conner told Tarts in an exclusive interview. “But I needed to hit rock-bottom to do something right. I have no regrets, I wouldn’t change a thing.” (H/T - FOXNews)
Tara allegedly rejected an offer from Playboy to pose naked for $1 million. Yeah, I guess she just likes embarrassing herself for free.
Oh well, she looks good doing it.

She does understand that “ice” and “snow” are hockey-related and aren’t things to snort to get high, right?
