You Might Wanna Lock That Password Down: Leaked Nude Celebrity Photo Scandals
Vanessa L. Williams
In 1984, Vanessa L. Williams made history by becoming the first Black woman to be named Miss America but her historic moment was soon marred by scandal. Photos of an unclad Williams posing with another young woman were published in Penthouse magazine prompting pageant officials to take back the crown. Williams lost $2 million in endorsement deals but at the time all she was worried about was what her parents would say. The “Ugly Betty” star re-launched a career in acting and singing has gone on to become one of the most successful Miss America winners.
