Sri Lanka Beauty Pageant

The incident has made the social media users from Sri Lanka angry, who said that such behaviour tarnishes their image in the United States.

A Mrs World winner facing criminal charges after an on-stage fracas at a Sri Lankan beauty pageant has relinquished her title, organisers said Wednesday.

The Mrs Sri Lanka beauty pageant descended into chaos at the weekend when a former title holder declared that the winner was ineligible because she was divorced, and forcibly removed her crown.

The winner of Sri Lanka's popular beauty pageant, "Mrs Sri Lanka", sustained head injuries after a fight broke out on stage during the crowning ceremony.
