**TRIGGER WARNING** -- abuse, domestic abuse

With more and more stories coming out about women who are in abuse situations like Gabby Petitio and are afraid to leave, I wanted to bring the story one famous Miss America, Carolyn Sapp to light. Crowned Miss America 1992, she was a ball of fire the night she won and although her free-spiritness rubbed some of the Miss America staff the wrong way initially, she was prospering in her life and the cameras were drawn to her. She held three local titles in Hawaii previously and was a well-known local celebrity prior to winning in Atlantic City. Her fame led her to meet her a love interest during a charity event. In the next two years, they were engaged then separated after an unnerving career change in her then-fiance led him to spiral out of control.

Hear how Carolyn became not only an literal overnight victim of the press when her past resurfaced, but how she handled herself in face of controversy and took on the media head first.

Hope Carolyn's story helps to inspire others out there.
