"Happy Birthday to me!" said Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan, who turned 29 Saturday, when she heard about the resignations. Now a television news reporter in Columbus, Georgia, Hagan was a subject of some of the worst of the emails between Haskell and other members of the organization.

She said she was happy, but "there is still more housekeeping to do."

Hagan said more board and staff members need to resign, including Meyers and Vice President of Field Operations Marc Angeli.

"He (Angeli) is the one who has done Sam's dirty work for a long time," said Hagan. Angeli delivered messages from Haskell about which former Miss Americas should not be spoken to or interacted with, she said.

Randle told The Associated Press Saturday that his inappropriate response to an email about Hagan's weight came several months before he worked at the organization. But he said he apologized to her on Saturday, saying the comment didn't reflect his values or the organization.

Hagan said Randle did call her and apologize via voicemail, but she hasn't responded yet.

"I'm not really sure how I feel about that," she said. "But I appreciate the gesture. He's the first person from the organization I have heard from in any capacity."
