In our story on "Good Morning America" on June 6, 2019 about Gretchen Carlson stepping down as the Chair of the Miss America Board, we mistakenly reported that “Carlson said she will no longer be a board member at the request of the board.”

In fact, both Carlson and the Miss America Organization confirm that the Board did not ask Carlson to step down as chair or leave the board, but did ask her to stay on as an advisor after she decided to resign.

We regret the error.
