Transgender beauty contestant Jenna Talackova is set to give her first interview, since being disqualified as a finalist from the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant, with Barbara Walters on “20/20” on Friday.
After being ousted from the competition just days ago because she was not born female, Jenna speaks out along with her lawyer Gloria Allred. The Trump Organization has overturned its decision saying it would not attempt to keep the beauty queen – who had sexual reassignment surgery at the age of 19 – out of the competition.

The Miss Universe Organization is allowing the transgender contestant to compete as long as she meets the legal Canadian gender recognition requirements and standards established by other competitions held internationally.
Donald Trump spoke to Katie Couric about the controversy on Good Morning America on Wednesday. Watch below.
