in late december 2017, huffpost published an article exposing derogatory emails sent and received by ceo sam haskell, board members tammy haddad and lynn weidner, and lead writer lewis friedman. the emails, sent between 2014 and 2017, featured instances of expletive name-calling and unprofessional comments. the comments were often sexual or violent in nature and targeted former miss america winners, notably mallory hagan and katherine shindle, both of whom joined 47 other former miss americas (including all miss americas from 1988 to 2017) in signing a joint open letter calling for the firing or resignation of all involved. on december 22, the miss america organization (mao) released statements to "usa today", saying that it was made aware of concerns several months prior. they stated that the organization does not "condone the use of inappropriate language" and reported that its investigation had determined that haskell was under "unreasonable distress resulting from intense attacks on his family from disgruntled stakeholders". the organization also reported that its relationship with friedman had been terminated. haskell explained that attacks on his character impaired his judgment when responding to the emails. miss america's board of directors also suspended haskell, who released a statement labeling the huffpost article "unkind and untrue". hagan and shindle criticized the decision to suspend haskell, rather than fire him, as inadequate. the following day, the president of miss america, josh randle; executive chairwoman lynn weidner; and haskell all resigned. the scandal prompted the pageant's producer, dick clark productions, to cut ties, and the casino reinvestment development authority (crda) announced that it was reconsidering its contract with miss america, with its executive director chris howard describing the scandal as "troubling", and both frank gilliam, incoming mayor of atlantic city, and state senator colin bell called for crda to end its relationship with miss america. on december 24, haddad also resigned.

on august 10, 2018, 11 former miss americas released a statement calling for both carlson and hopper to resign. the former miss americas say that following an email scandal that resulted in the exit of the former ceo and chairman of the board in december, they were given the opportunity to install "our very own sisters." former titleholders assumed temporary co-chair roles on the board. from there, carlson was supposed to head up a national search to find a new ceo. the letter continued on to say that carlson "selected the sole candidate for board consideration and together they have taken the organization in a direction that we do not condone."  hopper helped orchestrate the removal of previous leadership by leaking emails to the attention of dick clark productions, which eventually dropped the organization. in august 2018, miss america 2018 cara mund wrote a letter to her fellow miss america titleholders alleging that carlson and hopper "silenced me, reduced me, marginalized me, and essentially erased me in my role as miss america." mund went on to say that after the new board took over in january, she "was given three talking points" and told to stick to them: that "miss america is relevant"; that "the #metoo movement started with a miss america"; and that both she and carlson were graduates of elite colleges.
