The Miss Liberia Organization has described Kindness Wilson, the First Runner-Up in the pageant recent fighting action as the one which constitutes a breach of Section 5G of the contract she signed upon entering the pageant.
The determination follows a formal investigative hearing into the alleged assault involving Miss Kindness Wilson, during which she fully participated and provided her account of the incident.
In light of this finding, and in consultation with the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism
(MICAT)—the official host and franchise holder—XL-Entertainment, has suspended Miss Wilson from her role as First Runner-Up, effective immediately for a period of 90 days.
As corrective measures, Miss Wilson will undertake community service; serve as the face of an anti-bullying campaign, and receive counseling for anger management.
She has acknowledged her breach of contract, accepted responsibility and has committed to working collaboratively with the Miss Liberia Organization, the Pageantry Union of Liberia and MICAT moving forward.
According to a release, the Miss Liberia Organization remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the integrity of the pageant and preserving the values associated with our national heritage and symbols, which the Miss Liberia Pageant proudly represents.
In collaboration with MICAT, further steps will be taken to maintain these standards.
Additional updates will be provided as the process continues.
