Miss Universe Cayman Islands organization is currently in talks with the Miss Universe organization over the participation of the reigning Miss Cayman Islands Universe 2022 Tiffany Conolly who is in the middle of an ongoing trial for assault and damage to property,

The case has been adjourned until 5th December 2022. In a statement about the situation caused by Conolly being allowed to compete in national pageant while facing criminal charges, the organization said first runner-up Chloe Powery-Doxey is ready to step in.

Our organization said, “Our succession plan has always been that if a reigning queen is unable to complete her reign or perform her duties for any reason, there is a first runner-up who is ready to assume the role. It is important to remember that in the court of law an individual is innocent until proven guilty. As we navigate through a renaissance within the pageant world, it is also important to understand that no candidate is flawless; some come from harsh beginnings and strive to improve themselves throughout their journey.”

Conolly appeared in court this week in a case against her for assaulting, her former lover, his father and a police officer and smashing up two cars. The case has, however, been adjourned until December, a few weeks before the Miss Universe takes place in Louisiana in January. The issue is the verdict will be given close to her participation at Miss Universe 2022 and if she is not cleared of all charges, it will be an issue.

Thus, the organization is preparing the first runner-up Chloe Powery-Doxey to represent Cayman Islands at Miss Universe 2022 in case Conolly is not able to compete at the international pageant.
