Miss Teen Wanganui loses her crown

When Olivia O’Neil, the 15-year-old winner of New Zealand’s Miss Teen Wanganui pageant, dyed her hair dark brown, she probably didn’t think it would cause her to lose the title she’d won three months earlier.
 
But a recent article on the New Zealand Herald website explains how Olivia had to surrender her crown after the pageant organizer saw her new Facebook profile pic — and her new dark locks. Their convo via Facebook comments didn’t end well for Olivia.
 
Olivia told the New Zealand Herald that after she returned the crown, the organizer, who no longer works with the pageant company, told Olivia that she “would not go far in this world.” Talk about harsh.
 
Blog it out: Should a change in hair color be enough for Olivia’s crown to be taken? Was the pageant organizer right to confront Olivia about it on Facebook?
