Pageant or cooking show? Outdated, exploitative and made to feel like a prostitute?
00:05
These are the exact words of 24-year-old Miss England Mila Maggi,
00:08
who walked out of the ongoing Miss World pageant in Hyderabad.
00:12
The UK representative to the Global Beauty pageant dropped bombshell claims,
00:16
sparking enormous rebuttal by the Miss World organization and the Telangana government.
00:21
In an interview to a UK tabloid, Mila claimed that the participants were used to entertain
00:25
wealthy middle-aged male sponsors, threw posh dinners at Hyderabad as a thank you
00:30
for the money they pumped into the show.
00:32
What happened next? Mila left for the UK on May 16th and her runner-up was sent to compete for the pageant.
00:38
Meanwhile, Miss World boss Miss Julia Mollet launched a savage counter-attack on Mila.
00:42
Miss World organization retaliated by showing videos of Mila saying she enjoyed the hospitality and experience,
00:48
while the Telangana government called the claims completely baseless and lacking of even 1% truth.
00:53
They said they did this after conducting an internal inquiry among other pageant participants.
00:59
After questioning the other girls, they only complained that arose was an issue of excessive selfies at most.
01:04
CCTV footages from the night of the dinner at Hyderabad's Chauhmehel Palace were reviewed
01:08
and showed Mila in the company of the family of a respectable senior IES officer.
01:13
It was further added that she quit right after the first social event.
01:17
Julia Mollet also added that Mila wanted to head back home due to a family emergency
01:21
and was given the support she needed.
01:23
As the savage rebuttal comes to Mila, the affected parties say that the claims she made were fabricated,
01:29
absurd, highly unbelievable and even have a hint of vested monetary interest.
01:33
But beyond all this and more, what does a beauty pageant stand for in the 21st century?
01:38
While conventional pageants give rise to global stardom and often pave way for the entertainment and fashion industries,
01:44
is it unrealistic to be asked to stay in heels, makeup and gowns even for breakfast in 2025?
01:50
While Miss World has always had a beauty with a purpose segment,
01:54
does purpose necessarily need to have beauty as a precedent to be heard, seen and even acknowledged?
01:59
What do you think is the purpose of a beauty pageant?
02:02
Let us know in the comments below.
