Miss Great Britain Asia Pacific World 2011
In 2011, during Miss Asia Pacific World 2011 Amy Willerton, claimed that the pageant was fixed and that they were discriminated against. Allegations made against the organizers of the first Miss Asia-Pacific World contest. After the Korean police's investigation involving interviews with other participants and data analysis of the security cameras that were installed at the beauty contest, Amy Willertons' s claims were proven false.She didn't participate in the police investigation,not responding to the phone calls from the police. The spread of false report involving allegations of abuse discredited the reputation of Korea and the beauty contest.The organizing committee of Miss Asia Pacific World Super Talent requested for the British news agencies to delete the articles and call to account person in charge.While Daily Telegraph London, the original contents provider and The Bath immediately deleted the articles,BBC didn't respond to the request.
