10. Vanessa Williams
In 1984, Vanessa Williams won the coveted title of Miss America. However, her crown was taken away when it was revealed that Williams posed for nude photos. These days, that seems like a pretty mild scandal, but in the 1980s, it was pretty major. A few years after the photos were leaked, Williams struggled to be seen in a positive light. She starred in a major movie in the late 1990s (Soul Food) and later got parts on popular television shows like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Vanessa Williams recently returned to the Miss America pageant and graced the stage once again, officially putting the scandal behind her.
