Tourism minister to review Miss Universe Cayman allegations
The Miss Universe Cayman Islands pageant is under scrutiny after an anonymous “Concerned Citizen” called on government and the Human Rights Commission to launch an independent investigation into the competition, prompting Tourism Minister Gary Rutty to commit to a review with organisers.
The appeal followed a complaint by 2025 contestant Tiona Miller, alleging mistreatment by the committee. Miller has since issued a public apology to the committee, posting to her social media on Wednesday, 20 Aug., “I recognize my words may have caused reputational damage or hurt to the organization and its members, and for that I sincerely apologize. It was never my intention to diminish the work of the organization or those involved.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
