Plus-Sized "Beauty" Pageant Winner Sara Milliken Defends Against Trolls

A plus-sized winner of the Miss Alabama beauty contest, Sara Milliken, 23, has responded to trolls who labeled her an "unhealthy embarrassment" following her victory in the National American Miss pageant. Overjoyed by her win, Milliken's happiness was quickly marred by online taunts about her appearance. "Even something that you type over a screen can have a lasting impression on people," she told WKRG, emphasizing the potential harm of cyberbullying.

Despite the negativity, Milliken remains undeterred as she prepares for the national final in Florida over Thanksgiving. Addressing the criticism, she said, "I'll be honest, it got to me for about five minutes. Their words can hurt, even if it is online. I've always wanted to spread positivity, and this kind of put me in a position to do exactly that."

The contest, which Milliken won on her third attempt, aims to foster positive self-image by enhancing natural beauty. Scoring is based on personality, confidence, and communication, rather than physical appearance alone. The pageant's website highlights that "braces, glasses, skin problems, varying heights, weights, and appearances are all a part of creating the special and unique individual that you are and that we want to celebrate."

Among the harsh comments, one troll, Blaine Tom Mieroughts, mocked, "I thought it was a beauty pageant," while another, Randy Hicks, questioned, "Is that actually considered attractive in Alabama?" In contrast, Milliken received support from others, including Tracie Stephens-Brooks, who praised her as "a beautiful obese diva with style, sass, and a lot of class," and Samantha Thrash Duff, who expressed pride in Milliken's achievement.
