After giving a very controversial remark, Miss Earth Philippines Imelda Schweighart withdraws from the Miss Earth Organization.
A video of Schweighart talking to her fans went viral online. In the video, she was heard saying that the Miss Earth Winner, Katherine Espin has a fake nose, a fake chin, a fake chest.
“Peke ilong, peke baba, peke boobs,” said Schweighart.
The owner of Miss Earth Pageant, Carousel Productions, confirmed the resignation through CNN Philippines.
On the other hand, the executive Vice President Lorraine Schuck met Schweighart together with her mother to talk about the contentious video.
“They voluntarily resigned. She can’t handle it anymore,” Shuck said.
Shuck also mentioned that the mother of Schweighart said that she’ll take her daughter back to New Zealand.
According to Imelda, it was her mother that made the decision for her to resign the organization.
“You don’t have to be careful with what you’re saying. You have to be real because that’s what people need,” Schweighart said as she explained herself.
However, Schweighart apologized to the winner due to her careless remark.
“If it’s a crime to tell the truth, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend Miss Ecuador…I don’t know her enough but she was my roommate,” Schweighart said.
She also claims that the winner herself admitted that she had been through cosmetic surgery. That’s why in the video she said that the winner should be ‘natural’. But according to the guidelines of the contest, they allow women that are surgically enhanced to join the contest.
