Favorite candidate in the upcoming Miss Universe Thailand Chayathanus “Cheraim” Saradatta has been kicked out from the pageant after allegedly using a spy or an insider to take advantage of the competition.
The candidate’s removal was announced by Piyaporn Sankosik, executive director of TPN 2018, organizers of the Miss Universe Thailand pageant.
The organizers said that all contenders had to follow the rules and regulations detailed in the contracts they signed.
She added that the organizers clearly stated in the contract that no outsiders can be brought in as a mentor and they can remove or disqualify anyone from the competition.
Piyaporn also said she has evidence to back the dismissal in case Chayathanus wants to take the case to court.
The organizer said she obtained the CCTV footage of the “outsider”, Chayathanus’s manager, attending more than three meetings.
“Cheraim called to say she will have her personal manager, who has been looking after her for two years, to come and meet me. But when the day came, I was shocked when I saw him. He was a TPN staff member,” the organizer said.
“She claims she is not well, but still wants to participate in the contest. She won’t take part in activities, but wants to enter the final round because her costume is ready,” Piyaporn added.
“She is a well-behaved, smart girl and we love her, but rules are rules,” Piyaporn said.
The contestant said that she accepts the decision of the pageant and has apologized that she did not read her contract carefully.
