Local organizers subjected them to “demeaning” body checks, they said, prompting the Miss Universe Organization to sever ties.
pageant have been speaking out about the sexual harassment they say local organizers subjected them to, even as the same organizers appear to have crowned a winner in neighboring Malaysia, despite that pageant having been canceled by the U.S. umbrella group.
When Pasaribu entered the partially enclosed wooden structure, there were half a dozen people inside, including both men and women, she said in a statement shared by her attorney, Melissa Anggraini. Pasaribu said she felt she couldn’t object to the body check because of “pressure and insistence from the organization.”
Indonesian police said Aug. 29 that the case had been elevated from an initial inquiry to an investigation, meaning a criminal element is involved. Capella, who was overseeing Miss Universe Indonesia for the first time, denied any involvement in the body checks, saying she was “opposed to every form of violence or sexual harassment.”
