“Unfortunately this magnificent adventure that is Miss Guadeloupe ends here for me. Indeed, the photos you see turn out to be contrary to the values of Miss France. The rules are what they are, I bow but I will always continue to defend the values that are dear to me like this fight against breast cancer. I cannot thank you enough for all the support and love you have given me over the past few days. I would have lived this adventure fully, my only regret will be not to have been able to participate in the show and at the same time to show you all that you were right to support me ”, wrote in the caption of her Instagram post showing the shooting in question.
The radio channel Guadeloupe La1ère contacted Sandra Bisson, the regional delegate of the Miss Guadeloupe committee for Miss France, who confirmed this decision: “Of course the cause is noble, of course we as an organization support the cause. (…) Rest assured that it is not the cause that it defends (which poses a problem, editor’s note) but just a question of regulation that we apply to the letter ”, explained Sandra Bisson who said to herself “Very sorry”.

“Be committed … but not too much” or when Miss France loses face and takes the heels in a stupid puritanism. Miss Guadeloupe fired after photos too bare for a campaign against breast cancer. Lamentable decision. #MissGuadeloupe #MissFrance pic.twitter.com/Ha6vvO6nyt

So we eliminate @AnahGmb (on the right in the photo) for her photo for breast cancer awareness, but while in 2018 the misses paraded in flower outfits. A big difference between the 2? #MissGuadeloupe #MissFrance #Scam pic.twitter.com/1SO00OFWqj
