A dethroned beauty queen 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 --
Myanmar's first winner of an international beauty contest -- also
denied accepting breast implants,
as claimed by David Kim, director of media for the South Korea-based
Miss Asia Pacific World. 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. Noe said she boarded a plane for Myanmar before getting
word.
She said she did not
intend to steal the crown, but also wasn't going to give it back without
a "sorry," not just to her, but also to Myanmar. Myanmar, which only
recently emerged from a half century of military rule and self-imposed
isolation, started sending contestants to international pageants again
in 2012.
