Former Miss South Carolina, Caitlin “Caite” Upton, known for her viral beauty pageant response, has spoken out against online bullying after being mocked by JD Vance, a Republican vice presidential candidate. Upton took to social media to express her frustration at her response still being brought up and called for an end to online bullying. Vance refused to apologize for using the clip to take a jab at Kamala Harris.
Upton, who represented South Carolina in the Miss Teen USA pageant in 2007, struggled to answer a question during the competition, resulting in a confusing response. Vance used this clip to mock Harris ahead of her TV interview. Despite Upton’s plea for an end to online bullying, Vance posted the video with a sarcastic comment.
In her social media post, Upton emphasized the need to stop online bullying, regardless of political beliefs. She then deleted her account, indicating her distress over the situation. This incident sheds light on the harmful impact of online harassment and the need for a more positive online environment.
Despite the controversy, Upton remains a symbol of resilience and is using her platform to advocate for a kinder online community. Her response serves as a reminder to be mindful of the consequences of cyberbullying and the importance of promoting positivity and support on social media platforms.
