Miss Teen USA under fire for alleged liberal use of N-word in tweets - CNET

Hay immediately took to the @RealMissTXteen Twitter account in apparent confirmation of her Twittering past.

"I admit that I have used language publicly in the past which I am not proud of and that there is no excuse for," she said.

She added: "Several years ago, I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person."

Hay went on to explain that education and sisterhood of pageant life had helped get her through those trying times.

We have all said things in the past that we regret. We just hope that there's no record of those things on Twitter, Instagram or some other social medium with a better memory than Donald Trump's.
