The story of Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, being blackmailed by some mysterious character who is threatening to go public with damning photos of her unless she steps down by a certain date has been developing over the past week and so as pressure has built, public interest has escalated. Consequently, she was on the Today Show talking about it and Matt Lauer asked the fairly understandable question, “If these were photos that you had posted in your facebook account, in other words, your family members and friends could see it, how racy could they be? How damaging could they be?”
Her response, “…They’re not that bad. I’m a normal college girl.” Then later, “I’m not doing anything illegal.”
Which sounded a little too insistent. Like, you could tell she was saying that while smiling and digging her fingernails into the palms of her hands while sweating and hoping the cameras don’t catch a glimpse of the genetic abomination of a creature that lives in her ass crack and eats flies which is grabs from the air with long, hairy arms. Isn’t that obvious to everyone?
So, what’s she doing here on TV about what seems to boil down to nothing? She’s doing the same thing former Miss USA Tara Connor and Paris Hilton did. She’s playing the role of the sweet, popular high school kid who is treating the media like a conservative parent of one of her friends before she goes behind the math block to smoke weed and dole out hand jobs for 15 bucks a piece. She’s just saying the right thing to make sure she remains blandly translatable to mainstream America. Ok, maybe that’s harsh. There could be another explanation.
It’s far more likely that being Miss New Jersey is sort of like being Susan Lucci. So close and yet so far away from any real greatness. This is probably the best thing she can possibly hope for in terms of exposure which might suggest that actually this is some kind of inside job. Hell, the New York Times covered it. What’s in the photos? Who cares, she’s still smiling and I’m already so damned tired. [source]

Ms. Palumbo is doing this for publicity. Is it possible she knows the person who sent the letters asking her to step down? Of course it's possible. She appeared on "Today," and CNN and she wouldn't describe what the photos revealed. She called them "private photos." Someone tell her to please go back to Asbury Park selling popcorn on the boardwalk.
Miss NJ is not any of those things posted... how do i know because i not only went to HS with her but i know her... What your saying is wrong and i take total offense to that...
Listen Ass,
I actually know Amy personally. I go to Wagner College with her. And she is everything she is portraying. She really is a sweet good girl. Shes isnt some slutty stoner. I can see how people can make all kinds of judgements, shes just some random person to you all. If I was in you position and saw some story on the news about a girl Ive never met, I might say the same thing. BUt when I turned on the TV and saw this all unfold, it made me sick. I had class with this girl, I worked with her while she was performing in Disney World. to me shes not a character on TV, shes a real person. And no, she is not doing this for publicity. She has studdied voice and dance for years and is attending one of the top musical theatre school in the country. She has already performed as an equity leading actress at the top vacation destination in the world. She dosent need "publicity", she has talent. Once again, Amy is NOT all these things you are calling her. She truely is a sweet, carring girl who is very respectiable and would never do any of the things you are claiming. To even think of it makes me sick.
She is a fucking college student. So what if she has some racy photos. And where in the hell do you come up with a stoner giving out hand jobs? This is stupid. Let her compete and no one give it their individual attention if you don't want to feed the media in this country. I hope she releases the photos and people laugh and say "Looks like a good party!" or "Damn those pumpkins look nice!" (In reference to the pumpkins by breast photo.
Matt, You are obviously the hand job here. Get a life and a real occupation. Since you've obviously been sleeping since you entered "the eye of the hurricane" maybe you should just pack your shit and head back "down under" where you can get pissed and watch your toilets flush backwards.
Good Luck, Amy. I hope you win it all.
