Watch and See If You Can Figure Out Why Fans of Chris Kyle's Widow Were Upset When She Was Introduced as Miss America Judge

Model Brooke Burke, the host of this year’s Miss America pageant, found herself under fire on social media after she badly mispronounced the name of legendary Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s widow, Taya.

Taya Kyle was one of the judges for the 2015 Miss America pageant.

After Miss Alabama Meg McGuffin randomly selected a judge to ask her a question, Burke introduced the judge.

“OK, Tara Kylie,” Burke said.

Kyle went on to ask Miss Alabama about Donald Trump. Watch the clip below:

Kyle handled the flub like a pro and it didn’t seem to bother her much. The same couldn’t be said for her fans.

Just curious, @brookeburke, but how do you not know who @TayaKyle is? I don't know who Tara Kylie is. #MissAmerica

I'm late to the game but holy heck did Brooke Burke have some "Adele Tazeeb" moments. She called Taya Kyle "Tara Kylie"! #MissAmerica #whut

@brookeburke Her name is pretty easy to say - it's Taya Kyle - NOT Tara Kylie. There aren't that many judges - seems like you could learn it

Hey @brookeburke it's Taya Kyle, not Tara Kylie. Maybe show some respect next time by learning her name. #MissAmerica

@brookeburke just called Tara Kyle "Tara Kylie". Wow. Major mess up to an important figure in the Armed Forces right now.
