In an unfortunate turn of events, the 2022 edition of Miss Planet International might be cancelled. The delegates who are already in Uganda have taken to their official social media to state that the pageant has been cancelled.

Representatives from Jamaica and the Czech Republic posted via their Instagram stories about the update today. Jamaica’s Tonille Watkis expressed how honored she was to represent her home country in the international competition.

“Thank you all for your support up until this moment. Unfortunately, the competition has been canceled. But, it was such an honor to have the chance to represent my beautiful Jamaica again”, she wrote.

Czech Republic’s Tamila Sparrow, however, has a more serious allegation against the MPI organizers. “I have to apologize, but unfortunately we were robbed. We haven’t had even 10% of the activity, nothing was paid, nor our accommodation nor our food. We’re stuck in Uganda,” she wrote. Tamilla Sparrow claimed that 35 contestants who are still in Uganda were scammed.

Currently, Miss Planet International has no official announcement yet on the matter.
