Former Miss USA Rima Fakih Arrested for Drunk Driving

Rima Fakih, you are a complex woman: On one hand, you were the first Muslim and Arab American Miss USA. On the other hand, you dressed up as a sexy Halloween version of the eagle from the back of a dollar bill for your Miss Universe costume competition. It takes a strong woman to both break racial barriers and dress up as the sexy version of, well, things you have in your wallet.

And now, you’ve been arrested for DUI.

From the Yahoo! News article, she’s “very saddened and very apologetic for the situation that she is in right now.” But that news doesn’t seem to daunt her fans, as they’re currently supporting her on her Facebook page with comments such as: “Your[sic] the best, rima, DUIs are just as common as getting sick.” Now if you excuse me, I’m going to take a day off from writing on 8Asians, as I feel like I’m coming down with the need to drink a bottle of Wild Turkey and drive across Michigan.)
