Miss New Jersey says she’s doing nothing illegal in the photos sent by someone trying to blackmail her into giving up her crown. In an interview on NBC’s “Today” show yesterday, Amy Polumbo said the photos show no nudity, pornography, or underage drinking.
“I am not doing anything illegal” in the pictures, she said. The 22-year-old college student said she has no idea who might have assembled two packages of private photos that were sent to Miss New Jersey and Miss America pageant officials last week. “Whoever this is, I think they’re a very miserable person, and I really feel bad for them,” Ms. Polumbo said.
