Reigning Mrs World, Caroline Jurie has resigned her title weeks after she was involved in a controversy at the Mrs Sri Lanka pageant.
Jurie made international headlines after yanking the crown off the winner Pushpika De Silva, at the local segment of Mrs World in Sri Lanka at a Colombo theatre this month, claiming she is a divorcee and therefore was ineligible to contest in the Mrs World 2021 international pageant to be held in December.
She was arrested and released on bail this month after the fracas at the Mrs Sri Lanka pageant in Colombo.
“I stand proud today, knowing that I stood up for what is right. I believe the Mrs World crown stands for a purpose,” Jurie wrote in a statement shared on her Instagram page.
