A
dethroned 16-year-old beauty queen from Myanmar said Tuesday she won’t
return her bejeweled $100,000 crown until pageant organizers apologize
for calling her a liar and a thief.
May Myat Noe — the country’s first winner of an international beauty contest — lashed back at her accusers at a tightly packed news conference.She said representatives of the Miss Asia Pacific World pageant lied about her age — saying she was 18 instead of 16 — and tried to pressure her into getting plastic surgery “from head to toe.”Noe denied having breast implants as claimed by David Kim, director of media for the South Korean-based pageant. He said the surgery was provided free of charge, part of efforts to boost the teen into super-stardom.Kim said Noe was stripped of her title last week because she was dishonest and unappreciative, and that she ran off with her tiara after learning of the decision.
