The 2015 Miss USA pageant for 2015 has been cancelled by Univision and NBC because of comments made by Donald Trump about Mexican immigrants.

The pageant, half owned by Trump, was scheduled to air July 12th but the two networks have backed out. NBC is also looking at replacing Trump on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’. They say a minority multi-millionaire would be best to replace him.

Trump called some immigrants ‘rapists and drug dealers’ and it all came to a head last week. Trump owns half of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and Univision owns the other half.

Pageant officials say the ‘show will go on’ and are arranging for a live-stream of the show.
