The Miss Universe Organization said it was cutting ties with its Indonesian franchisee and canceling this year’s Malaysia pageant after contestants accused local organizers of sexual harassment
The US-based organization said in an emailed statement late on Saturday it had decided to sever its contract with PT Capella Swastika Karya and its national director Poppy Capella, who also holds the license for Miss Universe Malaysia. Six Miss Universe Indonesia contestants filed complaints with police accusing organizers of sexual harassment, saying they were subjected to topless “body checks,” their lawyer said on Tuesday.
Spokesperson Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko said on Tuesday the report would be investigated. Capella said in a statement on Instagram she does not condone any form of sexual harassment.
