Lumiere International Pageantry has accused two more beauty pageant contestants of breaching their contract in a press release posted on social media on Dec 11.
The women are Ms Lavanya Racheal and Ms Gabriella Victoria Shantell, who had taken part in Mrs Singapore Worldwide 2024.
Lumiere had previously “dethroned” Ms Sangeetha S. Sangar, who won the Mrs Singapore Worldwide title and later Mrs Asia Worldwide 2024, as well as Ms R. Abigail Jayanthi, who was Mrs Singapore Global Universe 2024, for “serious breaches” including their involvement in a competing company called Prestige Pageants.
In the Dec 11 press release, Lumiere noted that the four women had “breached Section 7 of their signed contracts, which explicitly prohibits damaging the name, image or reputation of the pageant and the company”.
The company added: “Their actions – including public defamation, dissemination of false information, and conduct harmful to the organisation – constitute a clear contractual violation.
“As such, Lumiere International will be proceeding to seek claims against them in accordance with the terms of the signed agreement.”
The press release also addressed allegations made by Ms Sangeetha in a Dec 8 report by Stomp.
“Lumiere International fully rejects all accusations of body shaming or coercion,” said the press release.
“We have never subjected Ms Sangeetha to any form of body shaming nor have we ever forced her to continue participating.
