T&T’s Venezuelan-born delegate for the Miss Grand International Pageant in Vietnam, Mileidy Materano, has stepped down from the competition.
Her attorneys announced in a news conference today that she will not be going to Vietnam to represent T&T next month because of a problem with sponsorship.
Materano’s victory had been heavily criticised because she is a non-national.
However, the pageant organisers had stood by her, noting that she had met all the entry requirements.
