"Glad to help her lose." "Durham fired back at Jillette in a statement issued Tuesday through state pageant officials, saying she's disappointed with Jillette's reaction. She said it's uncalled for that he would delight in shooting down her dreams." Durham graduated from Adamsville Jr/Sr High School in 2008, where she was a varsity cheerleader.
