Portland, Maine — Jordon Hudson, known as Miss Coinity, didn’t quite make it to the top in the Miss Maine pageant.
She walked away as the second runner-up, a position that clearly didn’t meet her hopes. At just 24, Hudson made it to the top 10 after snagging the Style Award, but, well, it seemed like the crown slipped out of her grasp.
During the Q&A segment, she faced detractors head-on. “I hope those watching can find the strength to overcome their struggles… hatred never prevails,” she stated.
Unfortunately, she didn’t earn accolades for Miss Congeniality as she might have hoped during that round.
After some scrutiny surrounding her relationship with 73-year-old NFL coach Bill Belichick, Hudson will now likely be the focus of further national attention. This followed a slight misstep during a CBS news interview, where she interjected, “We’re not discussing that,” when asked how Belichick met her.
Despite everything, Hudson managed to showcase a radiant smile, even if it masked her disappointment at being named second runner-up.
Winning the contest was Bangor’s Shelby Powell, who will go on to represent Maine in the Miss USA competition.
Throughout the pageant, Hudson’s well-known, not-so-conventional boyfriend and her father were positioned in the front row, engaging in conversation warmly.
