NP Rank:
Miss New Jersey Blackmail Drama Continues
Victoria's update
Miss New Jersey, 22-year-old Amy Polumbo appeared on the "Today" show with Matt Lauer and revealed the photos that someone has been using to blackmail her to give up her title. The photos are tame, there is no nudity and they're not provocative in nature. One of the photos shows her holding-up two pumpkins to her breasts (she is fully clothed) apparently as a Halloween stunt. In another photo, Polumbo is with her boyfriend whose open mouth is over her left breast. Polumbo is also fully clothed in the
photo. The photos are pretty tame in nature. I really don't think she has anything to worry about. However, she did say that some people might find this inappropriate. A pageant committee is reviewing the photos and deciding whether or not Polumbo gets to run for the Miss America title.
This seems like it could be a sequel to Miss Congeniality 2. Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, has been getting blackmailed by someone who really wants her to step down as New Jersey's beauty queen. She received another package containing threatening messages. The blackmailer supposedly has racy photos of her and is threatening to release them is she doesn't step down. Police are now questioning some of the runner-ups.
Polumbo's problems began several days ago when a mysterious blackmailer threatened to release around a dozen sexy shots of the pageant winner to the press if she failed to step down from her post. So far, Polumbo refuses to submit to the shakedown.

This is a fantastic story. It's amazing how instant access to photos has opened up whole new frontiers of blackmail... but it sounds like Ms. Polumbo isn't playing ball.

Undermining her blackmailers by making the photos globally public... I like her style.
