Miss USA, Tara Conner, was released from rehab yesterday to little welcoming. Conner was offered a "Coming Out" party by the New York nightclub, "Stereo," but a pageant spokeswoman has shot them down. "Stereo" is the same club that Conner reportedly over-endulged in underage drinking and all around debauchery with former Miss Teen USA, Katie Blair.
"Tara Conner will not be at Stereo for a coming-out party — or any party at Stereo, for that matter," the pageant spokeswoman said.
But was the month long stint in rehab enough for Conner for clean up and improve her image? No. Not for me. I feel the best thing Conner could have done in this situation to show she COULD BE a role model for young women (because frankly she's not) would have been to return her crown, resign as Miss USA and then enter into rehab privately. This would have spoken volumes more to her fans than begging and pleading for the second chance to do right. It wasn't about wether or not she should get a second chance at being Miss USA so she can prove that she has the ability to not make the choices she did before, but rather to show the world that is now carefully watching her every move that is a better woman than that. 30 days in rehab does not accomplish that goal.
