Citing Donald Trump’s “ongoing antics,” Jeannie Mai announced Monday that she was stepping down from co-hosting the 2015 Miss USA pageant. Earlier today, Trump called reigning Miss Universe Paulina Vega a “hypocrite” because the Colombian beauty queen both condemned his recent sweeping generalizations about Mexican immigrants and opted to not relinquish her crown. That comment, presumably combined with the mounting media firestorm against Trump, prompted the television personality to change her mind after initially agreeing to host the show. Mai joins Cheryl Burke, Thomas Roberts, Flo Rida and Emmitt Smith among those who have refused to participate in the pageant in the wake of the controversy.
