The mother of Miss New Jersey Amy Polumbo yesterday said her daughter did nothing to warrant becoming a blackmail target.
“It’s not her fault what has happened,” said Jennifer Wagner about the alleged plot demanding that Polumbo relinquish her beauty-pageant crown and chance to compete for the Miss America title or face a threatened public disclosure of questionable photos of her.
Wagner, 51, strongly denied that the photos – which her daughter had posted on her Facebook page – showed Polumbo drinking alcohol while underage. “There wasn’t any underage drinking in the pictures. I swear on my kids’ life,” said Wagner.
