Miss New York Nina Davuluri has been accused of calling outgoing Miss America Mallory Hagan “fat as f**k” — just two days before the Miss America 2014 pageant on September 15.
The New York Post reports that Davuluri — who has nicknamed herself “Miss Diversity” — was allegedly tape recorded blasting Hagan at a Staten Island hotel after she was crowned Miss New York on July 16.
The paper claims a fellow beauty queen overheard Davuluri slamming Hagan to pals, and captured her on tape saying, “Mallory’s fat as f**k.”
Davuluri denied insulting Hagan on Facebook, writing, “I want to apologize for the awful statements made by people in my room… I was never a part of the words or statements that may have been hurtful.”
A rep for the Miss America pageant said, “The situation was investigated fully back in July and there is no validity to the story whatsoever. Miss New York spoke to Mallory Hagan to let her know there was no validity and to apologize if she was offended in any way.”
Davuluri and Hagan are set to be on stage together at Sunday’s pageant.
