New York: Miss USA 2006 is in danger of losing her crown due to bad behaviour, organizers of the annual beauty pageant said on Thursday.
Property magnate and television "reality" series star Donald Trump, who owns the Miss USA and Miss Universe contests, will decide next week whether or not Tara Conner would keep the title, they said.
"The Miss Universe Organization and Donald J Trump will be evaluating her behavioral and personal issues to see what we can do to work with her, and what we will do about her reign going forward," President of the Miss Universe Organization, Paula Shugart, said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for the contest declined to give any details on Tara's misbehavior or comment on online reports about incidents of inappropriate conduct at New York bars.
"Miss USA is a role model. There are moral rules that we go over with them," she said, but declined to outline the rules under which the winners accept the title.
Tara, who turns 21 this month, won the Miss USA contest in April this year, becoming the first woman from Kentucky to win the crown.
She has been competing in pageants since age 4. Under beauty contest rules, if Tara were removed, the first runner-up would assume her duties.
She is Miss California USA, Tamiko Nash. Tara would not be the first beauty queen to be stripped of her title.
Last month Miss Great Britain Danielle Lloyd lost her crown for reportedly dating soccer star Teddy Sheringham before he judged the contest and also for agreeing to pose for Playboy magazine.
