A 2004 clip from the “Miss Buttaface Contest” went viral on X (formerly Twitter) this week, sparking heated discussions about feminism and beauty standards.
The clip features a contestant named Stacey, who went on the Howard Stern Show’s Miss Buttaface, a parody of competitions like Miss Universe, but for women who are deemed unattractive.
Some men online have compared Stacey to Zendaya, whom they called an example of a modern “model,” and stirred controversy by claiming that today’s “it girls” are less attractive than the so-called “Buttaface girl.”
