Uniquely Kentucky with Amber Philpott | 2-02 Tara Conner, Miss USA 2006

Tara Conner was crowned Miss USA in 2006, but the Kentucky native would encounter headlines of a different kind just a few short months later. Allegations of underage drinking and testing positive for cocaine put Conner’s title and career on the line. Her then boss and former owner of the pageant, Donald Trump gave her a second chance, but she was ordered into rehab. Now, nearly 13 years later Conner is still sober and an advocate for recovery. She travels the country speaking on addiction and reaching out for help. She was recently in Lexington speaking to the men and women of the Hope Center to show them there is hope and life after addiction. She now lives in Los Angeles and is the host of a new talk show called the Real Talk 100.
