One controversy after another continues to mar the Miss World 2025 beauty pageant, currently being held in Hyderabad.
What the Congress government touted as a prestigious jewel in Hyderabad’s vibrant crown has now turned into a major embarrassment for Telangana and the country.
Following the uproar over local women being made to wash the feet of beauty pageant contestants during their visit to the iconic Ramappa Temple, a more serious controversy is brewing.
Miss England, Milla Magee, has reportedly fled the competition, citing “superficial treatment and lack of respect toward contestants.”
In an interview with The Sun, reigning Miss England Milla Magee levelled serious allegations against the pageant organisers, stating that
she “felt like a prostitute” and was “farmed out for entertainment.”
Branding the contest “outdated,” she added that some of the 109 finalists were given a dressing down by a female official for being “boring” after an event
“The point was to do good, promote change, and make a difference. But it became obvious that just wasn’t going to happen,” Milla told The Sun.
Revealing disturbing details, Milla said she realised she was only there to be ogled. She claimed contestants were instructed to “entertain middle-aged men as a thank you for the money they put into the show.”
“There were two girls at each table of six guests. We were expected to sit with them for the whole evening and entertain them,” she said.
