New Cayman Miss Universe facing criminal charges
(CNS): Tiffany LeAnn Conolly (24) from West Bay collected a catalogue of prizes on Saturday evening when she was crowned Miss Cayman Islands Universe at the annual beauty pageant at the Westin Hotel. But her victory was met with dismay across social media as she is facing a number of criminal charges in relation to an assault last year, though she has not been convicted of anything.
Conolly last appeared in Summary Court in March facing two counts of common assault, two counts of damage to property, and two further charges for disorderly conduct at a police station and one of assaulting a police officer.
Connolly was arrested following an altercation at a former boyfriend’s house when she is alleged to have assaulted both her former lover and another family member before going on to assault a police officer at the detention centre following that arrest.
The case is still making its way through the system, but since she has not been found guilty of any charges, she was allowed to enter the pageant and was awarded Miss Photogenic, Miss Best Smile and Miss Best-In-Gown, as well as winning the overall contest.
The title comes with a bag full of prizes including a $70,000 three-year educational scholarship.
However, if Conolly is convicted, it is understood she will not be able to represent the Cayman Islands at the international pageant. In that case, Chloe Powery-Doxey, the first runner-up and winner of Miss Best Legs, will take over the beauty queen’s job.

You people hating on her are the new Trumpers the election is over and so is miss Cayman. You do realize this was all a transparent process and you did have time for action but its lost. Congrats dont let Caymans hate destroy you.
Errrr. What did you just say?
XXXX
Now in the subject of the Commitee, isnt it evident that the Members bless them have outlived their usefulness. Much too long have they served and now are in a protective mode for this apparent fatal error. XXXX
Given the circumstances they should do the right thing and resign , though they may choose to follow the example of the one time Premier and show no shame.
Well uuuu it’s another scorcher
Very few people pay attention to these dated pageants, but when we hear the recipient gets over $100K in value of taxpayers money, and that 24 year old recipient has multiple arrests for violent acts in the last four years, we have every right to be pissed off.
Exactly!!! $70,000 in just scholarships and if convicted, she wouldn’t even be able to get a student visa to use! What a waste!
Transparent process – yeah I remember the full disclosure of her pending criminal charges and her prior two convictions – not.
Trumpers? I fail to see the parallel.
It’s a reference point for people who can’t be bothered to think.
Dear oh dear. 3rd world thinking with 3rd world education it seems.
I still just do not understand how she was allowed to compete. Why not wait till next year to compete if you have pending case against you? Looks like we have to wait till October to find out how this goes.
Personally I don’t think that having pending case means you should be able to compete. I’m not sure what the truth is, but that is what the court system is for, to ascertain what happened and either find guilty or not guilty. I just don’t think the issue of “forgiveness” is relevant in this case. She could be reformed, but at the end of the day it’s not a good look to have this kind of case against you, even if it is still pending.
As for the comparison of McKeeva, the difference is that he is voted in by the population of West Bay and the one man one vote and our current political makeup allows it to happen over and over.
the contestants for Miss Cayman are vetted by a select committee, so we as the population have nothing to do with that. Notice she didn’t win People’s Choice?
She already win and now is the time they choose to bring it up give to her the win and let it go… this looks funny and someone reputation is on the line here… of all the time, they chose to bring it up now, let it go, we are people not God or gods
She won give it to her, rest her name, let her go and leave the remaining to the courts justices system that is solely unfair already.
She all deserve forgiveness and a path to second chances.
This is one of the more ignorant responses I’ve read in a while.
Whether or not you agree with this type of event, it has the power to reflect on our entire country. I would expect that the highest standards would be applied and anyone with any type of potential blemish to their name should be excluded.
I agree with the original poster that she should never have been allowed to compete. Just the optics of having these charges hanging over her head should be enough for disqualification.
Ignoring this after the fact of her winning is akin to sticking our heads in the sand.
While the wrong call was made by allowing her to compete, it doesn’t mean that a correction should not be attempted.
Also, I think this shows the poor judgment of the entire committee. I think every single person on that committee should be replaced.
Is it really necessary that we also draft and pass a “Standards In Pageant Life Law” to codify what sensible minds should perceive as disqualifying? Willful blindness is a recurring West Bay theme underwriting the erosion of principles that ought to matter. Character, for Ambassadorial positions, should be a default category!
Get a grip.
Easy solution. Cancel the Miss Universe contract.
Government shout NOT be hosting pageants!
This is the peoples money!!
Give it to Pamela instead. She knows how to run a global pageant, which is coming up in weeks.
If I stopped a woman in the street and said “Wow, you’ve got great legs”, I could be arrested for insulting the modesty of a woman: Penal Code, 2017 revision. But, you can say it as part of a beauty contest? What’s the matter with this country?
“What’s the matter with this country”? 80 country in the world enter a contestant to the Miss Universe pageant.
Doesn’t make them right.
Buck, in the english language, the plural of country is countries.
Read this and tell me you’d expose your daughter to the risk. Beauty pageants are a sick phenomenon.
https://philstarlife.com/news-and-views/860295-miss-universe-candidates-stories-of-abuse
Donald Trump loved them and sponsored them for 10 years before becoming President.
Must be good if The Donald supported them.
But then maybe Donald is sick?
@7:50am, Maybe?? you jest, that man is a cult leader…he once said that he could kill someone and get away with it..he may not have pulled the trigger directly but he is responsible for many deaths of American..another Jim Jones manifested.
Clearly, those (men) tasked with running this archaic patriarchal objectification exercise aren’t equipped to vet candidates and eliminate those with serious disqualifying character defects. The easiest and most reasonable solution is to discontinue CIG-sponsored pageantry in 2022. Shut it all down.
Agreed, but -In my experience there are as many, if not more, women involved in these competitions, often former contestants
women trying to live the good ole days living in the past. I ALWAYS tell little girls how smart they are, NOT how cute they are. Something that should become the norm.
“Miss best legs” Really? When will this “Christian nation” stop the degradation of young women? Beauty contests are a blight on the modesty of women. isn’t there a law on this exact issue?
Harmless.
So naïve and uniformed!

Birds of a feather flock together…Elected representatives…Pageant representatives. In totality, this is very embarrassing to our islands… Elected representatives and Pageant representatives. As for the elected, this is all that we get from the voting system that we have…CRIMINALS.
Pageants are terrible. No exceptions.
Any way you slice it, this girl is not fit to represent the territory either while the charges are yet to be answered.
Only in the Cayman Islands.
What a joke. Another day in never never land.
And we have a winnerrrrrrrrr. Oh wait
Doesn’t everyone have the right to try and improve their life? Or should her prior acts damn her for the rest of her life?
If you enter Miss 🇰🇾 it’s because you already lead by example. You now want to display that and represent your country as a public figure, might I add.
Facts.
This is an aesthetic beauty competition, not a good character competition. And looking at Cayman society, I’m not sure what the big deal is … the Speaker has been convicted of assault and gets to keep his job, other MPs have committed crimes in the past and still serve, too many police officers and customs officials to mention are currently going through the court system but still being paid a salary, principals of Cayman education institutions that have embezzled funds, there are shady characters all the way throughout the core of the financial services industry making millions….
Actually it’s more than beauty. It’s brains too as you are awarded an academic scholarship.
She should not be allowed to speak at any school events….a person with current criminal charges is not the example of a good role model for our young children.
Welcome to Caymankind everyone!
Carl Sagan’s quote from The Demon Haunted World sums up not only America but aptly does our country as well.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.”
Carl Sagan
Another bad decision by a private sector committee. Will heads roll ?
Will the committee issue a statement to at least try and explain what happened.
The chairperson did issue a statement and they along with the DOT see nothing wrong at all. End of story.
Disgraceful but what’s the difference we have a government official who has a drug record head of tourism couldn’t fly because couldn’t get a waiver till miraculously he can. This ia what cayman has come to. Great representation. Oh yes don’t forget speaker of the house woman beater
…”Conolly last appeared in Summary Court in March facing two counts of common assault, two counts of damage to property, and two further charges for disorderly conduct at a police station and one of assaulting a police officer.”
All things in relations to this situation, I think that Ms. Conolly’s position in the contest should be switched with Ms. Chloe, the first runner-up.
Even if she is not tried and the results known before entry to Miss Universe, let me tell you the international press will have a field day with this one.
She will not be able to travel to the US, and if she is not already a British citizen, is unfit to become one. My God it is embarrassing to be a Caymanian these days. How did we come to this?
Why do we jump on a bandwagon to tear down our own BLACK people. Fo you have all details of her alleged assault? Go ahead cast the first stone Mr perfect
Her colour has nothing to do with it … as a simple check would have revealed the two prior criminal matters where she was found GUILTY but no convictions recorded were also for assault … further the fact that she is currently before the court on 6 charges including assaulting a police officer is a BIG F…ING DEAL
WTF has her being black got to do with this? Grow up.
I tell you, it’s a sounds good (easy narrative) and distracts.
Oh christ. Color. Here we go. She quite fair skin lookin. Not sure this is the issue AT ALL.
Miss Best Legs? This Cayman style objectification contest was a joke to start with and this is icing on the cake.
Have you been asleep for last few years?
Typical Friday night for young folks. This island is far to accepting of casual violence.
On the 6PM Radio Cayman News last night, the committee chairperson said that they and the Department of Tourism where all well aware of Ms. Connolly’s record but felt it was alright and that she clearly deserved a chance. I guess the minister in charge of DOT doesn’t see any issues since just a few weeks ago he was hawking his wife’s real estate business; but hey he said he was sorry.
I think this demonstrates the broad spectrum of talent and life experience that the judges are looking for. Instead of just lining up in your swim suit.
Such sophistication.
Government sponsoring her is like Government sponsoring Portsmouth FC. Equal violence levels too.
Wait until all the white collar crimes start coming out publicly. Too many non Caymanian criminals posing as good people. No map, get lost!
It is not just this current pending case, she has been arrested multiple times in the last four years.
And for violent acts. Quite the resume for a 24 year old.
Caymanian women are known for fighting in relationships especially when it turns sour,they stalk you,your house,they puncture your car tyres,theyre basically uncontrollable.i’ve seen the action with my eyes,but to save the embarassment they shouldn’t allowed her to enter if they planned on embarrassing her later.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT – you just made a woman become MISS CAYMAN, to go on the international stage representing our islands, and SHE MAY VERY WELL BE CONVICTED FOR SERIOUS CRIMINAL OFFENCES ???!
That’s what the first runner up is for. Chloe get ready. This one not looking too hot to trot.
And one more thing…what’s the message to young girls aspiring to enter in the future? XXXX
Well, we made a man convicted of violent assault on a defenseless woman our Speaker, so….
Please calm down before your brain bust lol.
Ha ha ha ha!!!
Sure know how to pick eh. Are no background checks done for these things?
According to CMR, the Miss Cayman Committee were told about the charges BEFORE the pageant and decided to let her go ahead anyway.
Congratulations Tiffany! Miss Universe Cayman Islands 2022!
Beautiful Caymanian Beauty Queen! Keep you head up Queen!
We love you!!!
This is not who we should want representing us.
Pull up a chair and have a sit, friend. I have a story for you.
No definitely not, we need McKeeva Bush representing us. The top man with a pizza pan!
Maybe not. Might this be an accuarate representataion of the lawlessness culture?
You all that are defending her need to remember that this isn’t just about “letting people grow from the past” or giving some kind of preschool award for the most improved character. Tiffany runs the risk of being sent off internationally to represent us with a criminal record and that’s downright shameful. Do you think forgiveness will matter when she’s on stage next to some of the smartest, most accomplished and beautiful women from around the world with squeaky clean records who have been raised to be pagent queens since birth? (I’m not saying those women are sin free but they don’t usually have criminal records!!!) And this is who we’re sending to stand next to them? That’s going to be a great look for Cayman. Because being called the money laundering country isn’t enough already :). Let’s not forget that she’s getting the $70k 3 year scholarship that could have gone to educating one of the other contestants who have actually shown themselves to be of good character…clearly the miss cayman judges are due for an eye exam because what is this lmao
‘Smartest’???? Yeah right!
Yes, ‘smartest’ is the right word to use here Mr/Ms no farther to go than George Town. Go look up some of the Ms Universe contestants. A lot of them are lawyers, buisness owners, ex military women, etc. The list is extensive and a single one of them has accomplished more than you likely will in your lifetime 🙂 These pagents are not just about beauty, they are a point of national competition and pride.
And there we go folks, that’s the voice of a good Christian with forgiveness running through her veins…… lol
Does Christianity not advocate for punishment appropriate for a crime? Or does your religion only suit whatever narrative you feel is convenient at the time? Also not everyone is Christian? I mean, I guess asking you to consider that there are viewpoints outside your own is a lot. Wtf does that have to do with this conversation too? We’re talking about a representative being sent to show the world what Cayman is about. Is that too hard for you to grasp without bringing religion into it?
Well! Amen! This comment 👌
International press already having a field day with it! I’d be very surprised if the Miss Universe pageant hasn’t already been informed of this shitshow.
https://www.jamaicaobserver.com/latest-news/miss-cayman-islands-universe-facing-criminal-charges/
What an absolute embarrassment. Everyone knew this girl had criminal baggage – it was being chatted about for weeks before the pageant. At last year’s pageant Minister Bryan announced that CIG was adding a full time coordinator to the Miss Cayman programme and that would be at our expense. So on top of the $70,000 Scholarship, televised pageant at the Westin Hotel $60,000, One year salary for Miss Cayman, car, hair, makeup, gym and expenses for her and a group of chaperones to Miss Universe for a month. My quick calculations put this at about a quarter million of taxpayers money. Given all the negative publicity this has already created – why are we still holding this sexist and archaic event? Perhaps the Minister can explain the need to us?
YOU have to remember that the Minister in question appeared in an international male model competition himself ‘back in the day’, so he’s obviously fully onboard with these events!
And a history as well.
If it is the same Minister I am thinking of he is also a convicted drug dealer. So that doesn’t say much for who is getting elected for such prestigious roles. This entire thing is an embarrassment for thr country.
Caymankind!
What? 5 different beauty contest franchises and we have to award Ms. Cayman Universe to someone under investigation???
WTF!
Not under investigation – actually charged and was to have her trial 2 weeks ago!
There is an approval process to enter this pageant and Miss Tiffany has spent the last almost 6 months working daily with the committee and has been publicized for months and now, all of a sudden, because the young woman wins the pageant all these crabs in a bucket people climbing out of the moldy woodwork talking about legal battles???
Where were all of these people when she was being posted all over social media as a contestant?
Numerous media announcements, videos, photos, interviews – and NOW, people want to come out and drag this woman from the horse she won fair and square?
Cayman people are terribly bad-minded – what is wrong with you people!!?
Why didn’t you all call Sandra @ CMR when Miss Tiffany’s picture was first posted by Miss Universe Cayman on IG MONTHS ago!
Why didn’t you all email the MUCI committee or call their publicly available phone number when they announced her as a contestant!
You people are cruel and wicked that you wait until this young woman works her backside off, designs her own clothes, plans her hopes and dreams, practices daily and prepares for this moment and then, all of a sudden the empty barrels come singing their dirty song!
I don’t think you have been following neither, because the issue was brought up before she even won. The fact that she won now makes it even more public.
I just found out TODAY when reading the news. Even with your points I still think she should have been disqualified from entry. This is a failing by the pageant committee and whatever rules they have in place for contestants. It would make sense to exclude people with pending criminal charges and then invite them to enter once they have been acquitted, found innocent etc.
I also don’t agree with having anyone representing the people who has past convictions on their record. This goes for beauty queens as well as government representatives
To be fair to CMR they have been writing about her since August 2018.
The more important question is, how many chances does this young lady expect to get? This is not about second chances any longer.
This is about entitlement and a young lady who has never been held to account for her horrid behavior.
The committee is some of the biggest enablers and should have to step donw.
This is not Tiffany’s first entry in this particular contest. When she entered previously the committee was well aware that she had issues. If measures were not put in place to weed out those with less than desirable reputations the committee had ample time to remedy that. Clearly this young lady has a history that should have disqualified her. Having a “clean police record” should not be the only requirement. Even if not yet convicted she has multiple charges pending against her which should have disqualified her entry. I actually feel sorry for this young lady because, in my opinion, she performed well and I don’t fault the judges for choosing her as the winner. In the circumstances she should not have been allowed to enter. XXXX
Being aware of her history and allowing her to enter, on the basis of a clean police record, has done her a disservice. Putting her on the global stage where she will be put under additional stress, along with all else that has been happening, is extremely unfair and dangerous. Each and everyone of those committee members should be sacked immediately! Shame on them for placing this young lady and these islands in such a disgraceful position.
She should not have been allowed to compete a second time, especially with continually growing numbers of pending charges since this came up the first time she competed.
Sadly the entire MC committee failed the people and the other contestants but she is in good company with our elected officials/house speaker.
The MC committee asked her step down from running and she refused, so Tiffany is equally to blame. XXXX They are so many people who have witnessed her bad behavior. Something is not right with this girl, and it’s a shame to see it blow up like this. She earned the title but her personal actions and character are not of a role model. She needs to take responsibility for her actions and sort herself out. We all do things, but admitting your mistakes, apologizing and then making a change would have been more powerful and beneficial for this young lady. Also a powerful witness to anyone who has done wrong that they can do right and earn high titles such as Miss Cayman. This either will tear her down or further push her delusion and she will never have to answer for her actions. This is not right for this girls projection forward.
All of those girls did so well and there could have been a scholarship given to another girl to help better her future. This has been an overall disappointment. So proud of Chloe btw, amazing beautiful talented girl, keep up the good work and come back better and stronger for next time. You are my Miss Cayman Universe. ☺️
Chloe, You did amazing you are my Miss Cayman Universe. I picked you from the start. Hold you head up high. Your a very smart, tallented and beautifull Caymanian young woman. Your are my Miss Cayman Universe 2022. Job well done. Now the MCU committee needs to take the crown away and title from Tiffany and make her resign and the committee needs to resign too. And hold a recrowning for you. Job well done Chloe.
Zzzzz … I would not want my daughter in a beauty pageant anyways to be a lust figurine ! … A WOMAN OF GOOD WORKS is far greater in beauty, strength, and worth.
You are right. My daughter did this (against my better wishes) and to this day, she hates being reminded of it.
At the time, the blood money seemed good.
It’s heartbreaking to see the ones that work for it genuinely made an example of. The ones who take it seriously. This is a problem with the committee. Nothing personal against the winner.
This is a matter of principality.
a complete and utter waste of time and resources…..that always ends in failure on the international stage.
won’t be any different this time.
If we have a convicted cocaine seller as Minister and a woman beater as a Speaker then having a Miss Cayman with criminal charges fits right in.
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to add Jeff Webb to the list of international criminal representation of Cayman.
this story is laughable in every aspect. a classic caymanian wonderland tale….
any comment from the ‘me-too’ movement???
‘Miss Photogenic, Miss Best Smile and Miss Best-In-Gown, Miss Best Legs’
Hello Cayman. The 1970s wants its sexist, brain dead pageant back.
this is good 🙂
There’s more money in watching women beat the crap out of each other, e.g., women’s MMA.
You forgot to add “professionally” beat the crap out of each other.
This episode of The Truman Show hits hard!
you are a smart one
For all ye who cast shade on Tiffany due to her arrests on multiple charges: In light of the fact that a convict can represent the people in government, and considering her arrest record (especially the charge for assault), she is an exemplary representative for the Cayman Islands on the world stage. Well…darn…she does fall a bit short in that she has not been convicted of anything.
Ahhh, the 2 wrongs make it right argument…..are you an attorney?
@3:05:
What “two wrongs”, brightbox? The two convict members of parliament were duly qualified to stand as candidates and they were duly elected by the people. No wrong there according to lawful election procedure. Tiffany was qualified to enter the contest and she was duly selected as winner by the judges. If anything, Tiffany’s selection to represent the islands is quite consistent with who we are and what we do. If she stays her course, she may eventually prove worthy of a post in Cabinet, or as Speaker, might even make it to Premiere.
3:05; The line “The lights are home but your not home” comes to mind after your last comment.
Miss Photogenic, Best Smile, Best-In-Gown, Best Legs…
Imagine teaching our young ladies that these are the things that we value about them in our society in 2022.
“We choose you to represent us on a world stage because your legs nice still”? Unna don’t feel a way about that?
Hence beauty pagent. 😉
so given that the court system is backlogged, it could take the rest of her reign before she is convicted of anything. I would have thought any pending/ongoing investigations should have excluded her? So she would have entered Miss Universe and then been convicted. God forbid she actually go to Miss Universe and win, imagine the outcry if she was then convicted. We should be choosing the best overall candidate to go to represent Cayman.
Once charged, isn’t a person’s passport seized? Even a Caymanian’s?
Nope. Not always. Depends on the offense and flight risk.
@12:16:
We should be choosing the best overall candidate to go to represent Cayman? You mean like we do in the general elections?
She could never win Ms Universe.. 🤣🤣🤣
The Google machine indicates she has had other arrests….no convictions “recorded” (similar to Mac).
She is now qualified to one day become speaker of the house.
“Miss Best Legs”, “Miss Best Smile”.
Seriously, it is 2022 — why would any respectable person enter these contests and why would any respectable government put on these?
Um. Why is Government in the beauty pageant busine$$$ anyways, when there is another private one?!??
And why will the government pageant allow single moms and married ladies to enter from next year??
Defeats the purpose of a Pageant.
Of course those ladies are beautiful but maybe they just need a separate pageant.
“Baba Mammas n Dem”
Um, a pageant is a pageant. If you can potentially be convicted down the road, I feel a respectable mother could represent us BETTER on the international stage.
Plus, why exclude people because they have a child or because it took them a long time to find the courage to do something like this? If they can get the job done, why not?!!!
Also, are you from the stone ages? Aren’t we fighting for equal opportunities for all? Bye Dinosaur Suzie
Did anyone think about doing a background check before accepting as a contestant? Wow.. a lightbulb moment!
@11:44:
Did you bother to do some checking into the background of the issue and actually read the article. If you had you would have read this: “The case is still making their way through the system, but since she has not been found guilty of any charges, she was allowed to enter the pageant.” Sheesh! The pot calling the kettle black.
She shouldnt have been able to participate at all with 6 pending charges. Imagine court start calling before she goes abd represents…some of you are clueless
Innocent until proven guilty
Not how it works. And she seems to have been proved guilty twice previously – just no conviction recorded.
You forget where you are?
The privilege of pretty. This is a national embarrassment.
U can’t make this up
Nothing shocking here.
How about women with the most charity work, lady with the highest IQ, woman voted kindest by the community? Its about time women’s worth to society wasn’t calculated by their appearance and about how worthy they are in ways that really matter.
I agree
Oh, so people with high IQ’s are worth more than those not so gifted? How the hell is that any better than judging them by their beauty? Did you even bother to think this through before your fingers hit the keyboard?
Well said. She won all the physical attraction categories. Does she have a brain, has she done anything for the community or the world. What are her goals. Pageants really bring women back 100 years
All women have to do is not enter and stop watching it. Its mostly women and gay men keeping this thing alive.
Also Miss Best Right Hook and Miss Sharpest Nails.
Al Catraz- I had a good laugh reading your comment -it’s a knock-out!.
Why would she even participate with all these charges pending? Is it bravery, not being really smart or simply stupid? What a nerve! Why was this allowed to happen.? Have we all drifted so far away from what is decent respectable and acceptable? The entire committee should be scuttled and all prizes withdrawn! This is a national embarrassment.
How was this young lady allowed to enter? Now look at the mess and confusion that is going on. And this is how are tax dollars are being spent? Guess in Cayman their is no accountability at all for anything.
It’s a beauty contest, and I offer no comment on what grounds some of them entered. However, I believe the Ministry that it falls under isn’t unduly bothered by police records.
Shows the attitude of our elected representatives and their true feelings towards ethics.
Apparently its been going on for over 4 yrs in our courts so they might have also known about it in previous contests where she did not win…..
For sure. Kenny, dat includes you!
How was she allowed to enter? She’s from West Bay. That’s how.
Sounds like an up and coming female McBeater!
Boo! Throwing shade at the best district on this island. Shame on you! AND Mac’s voice was almost CANCELLED. We are trying here.
Sounds like you jealous of us Baya’s! McDumbDumb!
Sounds like she could have won “Miss Right Hook” too!!!! What a farce that sums things up here pretty well right now.
Yes, this is the 21st century and they still run this pageant crap.
And it’s run all over the world, Cayman is no different. Why shouldn’t we be represented?
Are they all run like this one? If so then the whole pageant business is nothing but an outright sham!
Because it is sexist where women are objectified and judged on appearance. When did you last see an woman with a high IQ and inner beauty win a pageant with no ‘looks’?
There is an interview portion which is not judged on stage but carries equal points smh and apparently everyone misses the bios and intros stating personal/professional accomplishments of the contestants
If I heard correctly the interview is worth 25% the other 75% of your points come from how you look in swimwear, how you look in a gown and your ability to answer one open ended question.
Donald Trump loves it though
2:55 pm, why are you so stupid bringing ip Donald Trump ? What he had to do with it ?. Congrats you won the stupid/fool award of the Year.
Maybe because we want to hold woman as more than just a physical attraction. Events based on beauty are ridiculous. The money spent on this could have been spent on proper education. Looking good in a dress is not a valuable skill.
@12:37:
One of prizes included a $70,000 three-year educational scholarship. Happy now?
But looking good in a dress often will get you into an interview, and sadly quite often the job. Just saying…
Waste of public funds.
What happened to Innocent until proven guilty? Doesnt Tiffany Connolly deserve this same minimum right that we extend to all accused? Its a concept that often seems to get lost or reversed in the court of public opinion.
Just another day in Grift World
