Current Mrs World titleholder Caroline Jurie was arrested on Thursday, April 8, for tugging the crown off of Mrs Sri Lanka Pushpika de Silva during the beauty pageant’s coronation night on Sunday, April 4, in Colombo.
According to an E! News report, Sri Lankan police spokesman Ajith Rohana said that they received a complaint from De Silva, who suffered injuries after her crown was forcibly removed on stage by Jurie. Jurie and a model, Chula Padmendra, were arrested on charges of simple hurt and criminal force.
The two were later bailed out and are due to appear in the Colombo Magistrates Court on April 19.
During Sunday’s coronation night, Jurie walked across the stage to pull off De Silva’s crown, pulling out her hairpins in the process, and placed the crown on the runner-up’s head.
“There is a rule that you have to be married and not divorced, so I am taking my first steps, saying that the crown goes to the first runner-up,” Jurie said on stage.
The winner of the Mrs Sri Lanka contest goes on to compete in the Mrs World contest. Jurie won that competition in 2020 in Las Vegas.
De Silva clarified on Monday, April 5 via a Facebook post that she was separated, not divorced, and saying that if she wasn’t eligible to participate in the competition, she would have been removed from it earlier on.
The winning crown was returned to De Silva on Tuesday, April 6. – Rappler.com
