Tara Connor, who denied last month that she had problems with alcohol or drugs, admitted that she used cocaine and says she has struggled with alcoholism since she was a teenager.
Tara Elizabeth Conner, 21, is a beauty queen from Russell Springs, Kentucky who is
Miss USA 2006 and has also competed in the Miss Teen USA pageant.
"Luckily the great thing about getting everything out and being completely open and honest about things, it frees me from it. So the more I get it off my chest, the better I feel about myself," she said.
"There was as a conversation between with Mr. Trump and Playboy, but this is not something that Tara wants to do at this point in time. She feels it is inappropriate," the spokeswoman said.

admits to "Today" show host Matt Lauer that, "I have done cocaine, yeah." Connor also admits taking antidepressants and other drugs that triggered an allergic reaction. "I've tried several different things. But, you know, it's always the same effect," she says. "The more that I get it off my chest, the better I feel about myself. It's not healthy for my recovery to sit here and hold things back."
