We think of Fiji as a chilled-out paradise, but when it comes to the island nation’s beauty queens, things have “turned really ugly” in a way that would shock even Kathy Morningside… Just 2 days after having been crowned Miss Fiji, organisers told 24yo Manshika Prasad she was no longer the winner, and runner-up 30yo Sydney-sider Nadine Roberts took the title. It followed mysterious claims the vote was rigged, prompting the need for “revised results”. Cue lots of crying and questions from the mystified judges… That was until they discovered Roberts is married to disgraced Aussie businessman Jamie McIntyre – an associate of a property development firm that owns the event’s licence. Miss Universe Organisation stepped in and reinstated Prasad, but Roberts isn’t happy, calling herself the “real Miss Universe Fiji 2024”. Pageants… so much beauty hiding so much scandal…
