“Extra’s” AJ Calloway caught up with the newly crowned Miss USA Erin Brady in NYC on Tuesday. She talked about Miss Utah Marissa Powell and her stumble on a question about the gender pay gap that went viral after Sunday night's pageant.


Brady, who was with Powell on the “Today” show earlier that day, said, “You know, I think with anything else, everybody wants to find something to harp on... I'm glad that she's here and I'm glad she's trying to redeem herself and show everybody that she is an intelligent lady.”
