The Miss Universe Organization has cut its ties with its Indonesian franchisee and will cancel an upcoming Malaysia pageant after contestants lodged complaints with police accusing local organizers of sexual harassment.
The organization also said it would be cancelling this year’s Miss Universe Malaysia as the Indonesian franchisee also holds the license for the pageant. It said it would make arrangements for the Indonesia 2023 title holder to compete in Miss Universe pageant to be held in El Salvador late this year.
The company founder, Poppy Capella, denied her involvement in the physical examination during the contest and said that she is against any kind of “violence and sexual harassment.” “These victims feel forced to take off their clothes and pose inappropriately for body checking that traumatized them,” Haryadi said.
