The organizers of Miss Universe 2023 have dropped Indonesia from the competition. This decision has been taken after the sex scandal in the past. Indeed, an event was organized in Jakarta to represent Indonesia in the Miss Universe pageant. The six girls who took part in it accused the organizers of asking them to go topless in front of 20 people in a separate room.

Indonesia’s Special Investigation Team is investigating the matter. Apart from this, Miss Universe organizers have also canceled all the events to be held in Malaysia.

Organizers Said – This is Against Our Principles

An American organization organizes the Miss Universe beauty contest. The organization grants franchises to local companies in the countries participating in the event. The franchise in Indonesia was awarded to PT Kapela Swastik Work Company. Its director is media tycoon Poppy Capella. Miss Universe organizers have banned this company and its director by taking back the franchise.
