Anaëlle Guimbi is 20 years old and she has just been disqualified from the Miss Guadeloupe contest, the first step in hoping to become Miss France 2021. The young woman, who is a model, has participated in a breast cancer awareness campaign. For this, she posed topless during a photoshoot. Even if her chest was invisible, hidden behind paint and flowers, on the side of the Miss France committee, the rules are the rules …
On her Instagram account, she announced the news to her first fans.
“I will always continue to defend the values that are dear to me”
“Unfortunately this magnificent adventure that is Miss Guadeloupe ends here for me“, she announces, reposting the photos that changed everything. “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 the breast cancer.”
“You were right to support me”
“I will never thank you enough for all the support and love you have given me these last 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 show you all that you were right to support me. I wish all my adventure friends the best of luck, we are a great team and I’m happy to have had such great encounters. “
The photos, made for a good cause, are part of an awareness campaign of the latest edition of “Pink October”, which promotes prevention against breast cancer.
“It is not the cause that she defends qui poses a problem, but just a matter of regulation that we apply to the letter “, justified Sandra Bisson, regional delegate of the Miss Guadeloupe committee for Miss France. The Miss France contest effectively prohibits candidates from posing nude.
“There was no vulgarity in these photos”
“At first I felt really bad. I thought maybe I should have thought about it before. Then, after half an hour, I thought… But what’s the problem? noble cause, the intention was good and there was no vulgarity in these photos “, entrusted the young woman to the journalists of France Info.
Anaëlle received great support on social networks. An association that raises awareness about breast cancer has even published an open letter, asking the Miss France committee to reconsider its decision: “We hope that our letter will enable this young woman whose commitment is to be saluted and not to be punished to participate in her dream.”
Other personalities, such as Valerie Trierweiler, have added their two cents to the controversy, supporting the young woman on Twitter.
