Mom and daughter who were crowned Miss Texas 30 years apart reveal cruel trolling after winning pageant
A mother–daughter pageanting duo opened up about the industry's dark side after they both won the Miss Texas crown but more than 30 years apart. Sadie Schiermeyer, 22, was crowned as the 88th Miss Texas on June 28, 2025. Her mother Arian Archer Orlando, 51, received the same title in 1994. This makes them the first mother–daughter pair to share the Miss Texas crown. Speaking to the highs and lows of being a pageant queen, Sadie said: 'I still get hate comments, I still have people being very mean and so I think that is kind of the harder thing to navigate.' Speaking about the comments she gets on social media, Sadie said: 'I'll get a lot of comments of, "oh, you're just a pretty face" or "oh, we should actually be highlighting smart girls",' adding that she graduated with a 4.0 GPA. 'There's a lot of assumptions that are made. I think people just like to tear confident people down. I had a video recently that got a lot of attention on TikTok. And honestly, most of the hate comments were because my foundation was too white,' she went on. Sadie has since disabled comments on the video, which now has nearly nine million views, and she added an edit to her original caption saying, 'EDIT: GUYS I KNOW MY MAKEUP IS PALE the lighting and weeks old tan got me bad! The mean comments are unnecessary and will be deleted.' Her mom experienced different hardships in her own pageanting days. Arian said: 'The highs were of course winning and getting the scholarship money and getting to perform and getting to promote my school program. The lows were that I was just exhausted. 'It was exhausting and stressful. I had three or four appearances a day and only had 10 days off for the whole year, so I was just really exhausted.' Sadie added to her mom's point: 'I'm sure throughout the year, yes, I'll be exhausted... As Miss Texas, you are the only Miss Texas for that year. And I think that can probably get pretty lonely, and that's where I'm just super fortunate that I literally have somebody who's done this before.' Despite the high–pressure competition at the heart of pageants, Sadie says that the dynamic between the contestants is one of her favorite parts: 'I'm very fortunate that I personally have not found the clashing, and the animosity. 'There is a reality that during the state competition, we're all there for a week. It's long, long days. You are exhausted. You are stressed. 'And so I think there is a point that you reach where there's a little bit of tension, but I think that is to be assumed with any competition, not just pageantry.' Arian added that she had a similar experience 31 years ago: 'There was some tension with a handful of girls, but it goes away. It's just competition.' However, something that has certainly changed over the last three decades in the pageant universe is the beauty standard that the girls are held to. 'I think there is a little bit more pressure on these girls now with the social media aspect and having to post and stay on top of it,' Arian said. She added: 'There are girls who have competed in the pageant that have done plastic surgery and who have done Botox and lip filler. Luckily this one [Sadie] doesn't do that and she's naturally beautiful.' A rise in plastic surgery isn't the only aesthetic aspect of pageantry that has changed, according to the 1994 Miss Texas. 'The biggest difference I'm seeing is the style changes, obviously, the hair and the makeup, it all changes all the time,' Arian said. The former title–holder also said the competition has transformed in many other ways since she took part in the 1990s. At present, Miss America pageants have five categories which contribute to the overall score of contestants: the private interview (30 per cent), fitness (20 per cent), talent (20 per cent), evening wear (20 per cent) and on stage question (10 per cent). However, Arian said back in her day, the biggest emphasis was on talent, followed by the interview, with the least importance being placed on evening wear and the swimsuit category – which doesn't even exist anymore. In 2018, the Miss America organization made a bold decision, they got rid of the iconic, albeit controversial, swimsuit competition. 'It was honestly a little bit divisive because, on one hand it was trying to protect women from being objectified, but on the other hand, Miss America started as a swimsuit competition to celebrate the end of summer,' Sadie explained. The pageant organization replaced swimsuit with a 'fitness' category, a section in which contestants showcase their physique without stripping down to a bikini. Instead, the women are asked to wear athletic apparel and demonstrate their physical fitness on stage. 'The goal for fitness is to show the judges that you are strong, healthy and full of life,' according to the Pageant Planet website. While their pageant experiences differed in many ways, the Texan mother-daughter duo both attributed their victory to the same skill. The first time Arian competed, she came 37th. 'She did not do well,' Sadie joked. So for her second try at Miss Texas, Arian went in with low expectations. 'I wasn't expecting to even make the top 10,' she said, 'so then when I was in finals, I was just like, "oh, this is fun",' she said. Arian believes that she won in 1994 because she was having a good time, being relaxed and being herself. And her daughter agrees: 'In years past, I know when I competed, I tended to put a lot of pressure on myself.' But this year, Sadie said her mindset was: 'You know what, I'm either going to win or this is going to be a great goodbye and I'm going to have the most fun possible because either way, I want it to be a good memory 'I think because I was having so much fun that it kind of freed me up to be myself and that's what made me succeed.'

Why has Coldplay kiss cam CEO taken the brunt of the shame? It takes two to tango
UNTIL last week, I'd never said 'Jumbotron'. Now it's lodged in my vocabulary like 'furlough' in 2020 — another word I didn't ask for but can't stop using. 2 Astronomer CEO and HR director Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were caught on the Jumbotron 2 The Kiss-Cam moment went viral on TikTok, sparking hundreds of memes The 40-foot truth bomb at a Coldplay concert, beaming betrayal, has become a beacon of hope for suspicious spouses everywhere. Andy Byron, then CEO of tech company Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company's HR director, were caught on the stadium's kiss-cam in front of 60,000 fans and a fast-growing online audience. They ducked, smirked, and recoiled like they'd just been caught with their fingers in the biscuit tin. Which, in a way, they had. It didn't take long for the footage to go viral. Cheating scandal meets Coldplay's 'fix you'? It practically begged for a TikTok remix. The meme machine kicked into gear, followed swiftly by the sports world, corporate parody accounts, and thousands of strangers handing down their verdict with gusto. Andy resigned. Kristin has also quit. Astronomer went global. But why is it that in this scandal, all the spotlight — and all the shame — seems to have landed squarely on Andy Byron? Just like the tango, it takes two. While Byron's wife, Megan, is now forced to suffer global humiliation in silence, we've heard barely a whisper about Kristin's husband, Andrew Cabot — the CEO of Privateer Rum. Another public-facing figure who comes from a historic upper class family. Another betrayed spouse. Yet for some reason, we can't seem to pull him into focus. Coldplay kiss cam company Astronomer hires Chris Martin's ex Gwyneth Paltrow for tongue-in-cheek video Because men who are cheated on rarely make headlines. We simply don't know what to do with them. They don't fit the narrative arc we've built around adultery — of a woman scorned, rising phoenix-like from the ashes, armed with a revenge body and a pithy Instagram caption. When men are the victims, they disappear. Out of sight, out of relevance. Women are expected to hurt publicly and recover fabulously. Men are expected to hurt privately and say nothing at all. But justice doesn't always come via the legal route—because, let's face it, the traditional systems rarely move quickly or compassionately. Just ask the sub-postmasters, the infected blood scandal victims or anyone who's been subjected to yet another drawn out public inquiry. Often in life, when you've been wronged, there's no trial, no apology, no closure. There is only the internet. Which means the only justice most people get these days is the one they make for themselves. Fifteen years ago, everyone involved in a Mark Ronson-styled public shaming like this would armour up with PR heavyweights to fight their corners but these days we seem to conflate dignity with silence. Chaos and vulnerability made us love Ozzy BEFORE the Kardashians, there were the Osbournes – Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack – barking, bickering and bewildering their way through Beverly Hills. Ozzy wasn't just the Prince of Darkness, he was the reluctant king of reality TV. 'Sharooon!' he'd wail, slipping on dog poo for the third time, while the rest of us clung to our remotes in gleeful horror. When The Osbournes launched on MTV in 2002, it introduced a whole new generation to the Black Sabbath legacy – minus the bat heads, but still gloriously unhinged. He gave us chaos, eyeliner, and a kind of punk-rock vulnerability that made us love him. Ozzy died last week, aged 76, just 17 days after his final show. Even Parkinson's couldn't knock him off stage. A legend to the last stumble, Ozzy didn't just walk through hell – he did it in slippers, muttering expletives, and made it look cool. Internet glow-ups however? We're all for them. Whether that's a new career move, a revenge body, or in Jennifer Lopez's case, an entire revenge album celebrating 'hard sex' and 'soft power' after Ben Affleck allegedly bailed — this is the new court of justice. It's not always fair. But it's fast. And sometimes, it's the only thing that feels like control. They say the best revenge is to live well, but did it even happen if it there's not an after pic on Instagram? Welcome to the new generation of justice. Let us hear Vicky's voice VICKY Pattison is the latest woman shouting into the medical void in her new investigation, Medical Misogyny on Good Morning Britain. It revealed what most of us already know – if you've got ovaries, expect to be ignored. Three in five women experience reproductive health issues with a third waiting over a year for a diagnosis. Why? Because female pain apparently is just part of the job. Having to date a clueless gender is the cruel joke played on hetrosexual women. Once you mention cramps, out comes the standard prescription: 'Why don't you just go on the pill?' I dunno – maybe the fact that it wreaks havoc with your body and your mind? I was 15 when I was first put on the pill for irregular periods. I gained two stone in a year. 'The pill doesn't cause weight gain,' the GP told me, 'but it can increase your appetite.' IS THAT NOT THE SAME THING? Since then, I've been a one-woman trial for the NHS: the coil (constant bleeding), the implant (mental health meltdown), the patch (rash of doom). At one point, desperate to feel like myself again, I begged for the implant to be removed. They gave me an appointment in SIX WEEKS! Six weeks of spiralling anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia. So, I cut it out myself – not something I would recommend. My GP told me I had 'self-mutilated.' But desperate women will do desperate things when they are ignored. Megan Byron and Andrew Cabot have twice been made victim, once by an alleged affair and again when they and their families thrust into the global spotlight. In some ways they have already received justice online, perhaps they will receive more in the courts. Until then, the Jumbotron has become the eyes and ears for everyone who's spouse says they'll be out late for a 'work thing'.
