So because she made the bad judgement of underage drinking (which I'm sure more than half the people on this board alone have, hell I did it) she shouldn't be a role model for little girls?
How about the fact that she has drive and perseverance? What about never letting go of your dreams? That is what I'm trying to teach my students! That you can succeed with your dreams no matter how big or small they are.
And there is a reprecussion for what she did, she has to enter rehab. It's not like she got a slap on the wrist and said don't drink again. (Not that I've had to enter rehab, but I'm sure some of them aren't all butterflies and dandelions, she could possibly be sent to a "stricter" one because of who she is, and that the public will find out what rehab she has entered).
Maybe now the Miss Universe organization will realize "hmm maybe we shouldn't put underage women who have never lived in a huge city in their entire lives in a rent free, luxury apartment with no supervision for a whole year"
