Dethroned beauty queen absconds with expensive crown, breast implants

Associated Press | Myanmar | Updated: Aug 29 2014, 13:42 IST

The first Myanmar national to win an international pageant has been stripped of her title for being rude and dishonest, and has allegedly run off with the expensive crown and breast implants.

Her picture was blacked out on the organization's website and replaced with the word ''dethroned''.

Myanmar, which only recently emerged from a half-century of military rule, started participating in international beauty pageants again in 2012.

Two years later, May Myat Noe was crowned Miss Asia Pacific World.

David Kim, director of media for the Seoul-based pageant, said Friday the 18-year-old was informed of the decision to retract the title earlier this week.

He says she has since absconded with the $100,000 bejeweled tiara and $10,000 breast implants, paid for by the pageant's sponsors.

I have no idea whether those photos where taken before or after. I would hope that they're before.

She won the crown, and they want the breast implants back as WELL!

Reports also suggest Noe refused to undergo breast augmentation surgery, as per Miss Asia Pacific World organisers' wishes. Kim adds, "We thought she should be more beautiful... so we sent her to the hospital to operate on her breasts." Rediculous. How about May insists David goes to have d*ck modifications. She should keep the crown and sell the gems for profit to compensate for the imposition. She won it as she was - no need to fiddle with success. David should make a new crown as this one is gone for good (I hope). May, you should cash it babe without feeling any guilt! The nerve of that guy!

Toppled! Model May Myat Noe loses crown amid theft claims

Miss Asia Pacific World, Myanmar’s May Myat Noe, has fallen down and broken her crown – or at least it has gone missing.
