Previously, Donald Trump had ousted the 2002 Miss Universe, Oxana Federova and replaced her with the first runner-up. Some have speculated that this latest move is part of a trend called "rehab chic", in which celebrities and other notables have entered drug and alcohol rehab in order to save their careers.
Tara Conner thanked Donald Trump, family and friends at this time of need. Ms. Conner is a native of Russell Springs, Kentucky and was the first woman from Kentucky to win the title of Miss USA.
For privacy sake, the location of the drug and alcohol rehab center in which Tara Conner will be admitted has not been disclosed.
