Are we too sensitive as a society, or do words really matter? People are eager to give their opinion; but sometimes, there are real consequences, including losing your entire career with just one tweet. Kathy won Miss Michigan 2019 but got her crown removed the day after because of comments she made on social media which the pageant deemed offensive, insensitive, and inappropriate. Then, Carissa was on her way to an international modeling career when posts labeled as transphobic derailed her dreams. She even lied about being transgender herself. Can Dr. Phil help these 20-year-olds come out of their PR nightmare, or will they stand by their social media comments?

Hijabs are fine only as long as they’re not mandatory.
I agree! To be honest, why would campus even encouraging girls to wear hijabs? I am not saying that as anti Muslims. I wouldn’t agree if campus encourages people to wear necklaces with cross on it. Religion is a personal choice and shouldn’t be pushed on anyone. Also, shouldn’t have any place in education system.
I feel bad for the girl tbh .. she didn’t say anything against the hijab ..
She didn’t do anything wrong though… I’m so confused.
She made racist tweets about Muslims and other people of color
this is the cringiest and misinformed episode ever
She came on here to be like ,” i know more than you” lmao ridiculous
I’m sorry, I love dr. Phil, but I agree with the pageant queen and wish she got more of an opportunity to speak on her beliefs.
Away with that hamida person.
This woman doesn’t even know how to wear hijab -_-
There is more than one way to wear hijab her way isn’t right but I’m just saying
I don’t see anything wrong with the tweets.
This episode was unnecessary. People are allowed to have different political viewpoints.
People are allowed but let’s try not to be so brash and come off as a know it all.
This girl is so right. Freedom of speech is very important. I’m also upset about how she was treated
Who cares…I think she’s being discriminated against for being conservative.
I see her hair tho…🙄
I feel bad for Kathy…. she did nothing wrong! Dr Phil and the Muslim women are in the wrong here
Exactly well I think it is so called Politically correct – ironically, a couple of audiences seem not listen to wat the Asian showed or said but unconditionally sympathize Muslim like idiots XD
Kathy went into defense mode from the start
She’s just racist! I hate this Chinese lady.
Asian girl is not feeling this…. she has very judgmental eyes….
That lady better put on clown makeup as well bc she’s defo not representing us in the right way. We do not claim her.
It good to have the freedom to practice whatever religion you want. But that’s not the case in some countries.
Everything in America seems to be made much more dramatic than it really needs to be!
I would like to see her compitition in the pageant.
I support her. Everyone needs to stop be offended by every little thing.
Facts dont care about your feelings
This is whole thing is side eye worthy
Very explosive comment by you. Did your 9 year old wife write that for you.
I dont agree with everything she says but I stand for her right to say it, provided it doesnt incite violence or hatred.
Shes totally right though. It’s harder to be conservative than gay.
She’s right.
I think it’s stupid that she feels this way. We need as a race to start treating everyone with love no matter their race, sexuality, what they identify as, their religious beliefs, and how they view politics
I think her problem is she educated herself on topics just enough to fit her views. Don’t urge people to see your side if you’re only interested in half the story
Honestly, we should just respect each other’s opinions. Trump supporters should chill out and liberals should try to understand their opinions. At the end of the day, we all just want what’s best for our country.
She could’ve just gone to college in a conservative state
she’s kind of right about assumptions
If you want to be publicly political these days make sure you have nothing to lose.
She talks like a robot and it’s scary 😂
Welcome to America Kathy
Welcome to America
Are you being negative towards things that people are allowed to do and not get criticized or this girl? She did nothing wrong
There is a difference between having an opinion and being racist. She just has an opinion. Also, be careful with how you use social media
Right… but she’s not writing them as “opinions” she writes them as statements/facts.
This is the first time watching Dr. Phil where I was like, “huh, she’s not wrong about the hijab thing” lol
She’s not racist, and I see her point, but she said it in a very distasteful way. I don’t think she should have lost her crown for it though.
She is very racist.
You cant have government officials going around killing people without proper cause.
Her mistake was having twitter…
I DON’T FEEL SORRY FOR HER, SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL LEARN SOCIAL MEDIA ISN’T THE WAY TO GO
She is just speaking her mind. Leave her alone.
She just has zero emotional intelligence.
I’m so sick of this “politically correct” bull going on right now! It’s free speech and guess what?? She didn’t say anything wrong!
She did nothing wrong smh
Let her say and think what she wants. Actions have consequences, hope she learned that now.
She is not racist or islamophobic, she just needs to tweet less to lower her risk, when you get to a certain level in life people will look for any excuse to put you back down.
