The Miss Universe Organization, which holds the annual pageant, said reports of Saudi Arabian model and veteran beauty queen Rumy al-Qahtani participating in this year’s competitionslated to be held in Mexico September are “false and misleading”, according to a CNN report.
Last month, Rumy al-Qahtani took to Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, among other platforms, to announce that she was “honored” to be competing at the Miss Universe pageant and represent her country in what would be the West Asian nation’s debut appearance at the event.
