This past year has been a scandalous one for the esteemed competition. First, bikinis were banned from the competition, according to E!, and then Miss World was dethroned for having a nude photo scandal. E! reported that Miss World Zimbabwe, Emily Kachote, was stripped of her title whe a nude photo leaked on WhatsApp. The Miss Zimbabwe Trust released the following statement:
The Miss Zimbabe executive board would like to inform the nation that it has decided to dethrone Miss Emily Kachote as Miss World Zimbabwe 2015. Being in a relationship, sexual advances to anyone and any behavior categorized as immoral by the Miss Zimbabwe Trust is grounds for instant disqualification and dethronement.
Miss Zimbabwe believed her leaked photos were from an ex-boyfriend and, upon her being dethroned, she posted the following message on her Facebook page:
There are two kinds of pain: the sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain; the sort of pain that’s only suffering. I have no patience for useless things. For now I’m waiting for my attorney then I will hold a press conference before the end of the week.
This isn’t the first time this kind of thing has happened. In 2014, Miss World Zimbabwe, Thabiso Phiri, was also caught up in a nude photo scandal, but she ended up resigning from her position rather than be dethroned.
