usmagazine.com:

Big Brother season 24 winner Taylor Hale came forward with allegations that former Miss USA vice president Max Sebrechts sexually harassed her the morning after the November 2021 pageant.“What I’m really concerned about are deeper issues that happened with the current ownership of Miss USA,” Hale, 27, said on the Thursday, October 27, episode of the “Reality Steve” podcast. “I don’t care about allegations of favoritism.

I care about allegations of sexual harassment.”She revealed, “This is the first time I’m going on the record saying this.”Hale had been Miss Michigan USA that year but didn’t make it to the Top 16 at Miss USA. “[Sebrechts] DMs me on Instagram and says, ‘You did a good job, so proud of you,'” Hale recalled. “He invites me to the presidential suite.

I decline.”She later ran into him in her hotel lobby while carrying her “big and heavy” state costume. Hale said Sebrechts, 42, offered to help carry the garment to her room, which she accepted.“There was a protocol in place where if you were being escorted to your room, the person who was escorting you would stop at the elevator bank and watch you go down the hallway to your room,” she explained. “He did not stop at the elevator bank, he continued to go into the room.

He placed the costume in the room in the entry corridor, and then he walked all the way in and proceeded to sit down, have a conversation with me.
