A day after she lost the Miss Earth 2016 Pageant, Schweighart resigns after a video leaked her remarks about the winner of the crown.
Imelda Schweighart surrendered her Miss Philippines Earth crown after a controversial video spread over the social media where she can be seen attacking the Miss Earth 2016 pageant night’s big winner, Katherin Espin of Ecuador.
The organizers immediately accepted the resignation of Schweighart which she expressed in writing and submitted it to them at 5:52, October 31, Monday afternoon.
According to Annabeth Bautista, the mother of Schweighart, she was alarmed upon learning about the negative comments against her daughter on social media following her remarks that the winner in the said pageant must be “natural lang” (all but natural) and did not seek any cosmetic surgery.
Schweighart referred in particular to what she said fake nose, chin and chest of Espin.
Before she resigned, the mother and daughter Schweighart met with Lorraine Schuck, the executive vice president of the Carousel Productions, which runs the pageant.
