Volatile feud! Miss World Kenya responds to Miss World Tanzania who called her a pathetic traitor
Miss World Tanzania Diana Edwards says Miss World Kenya Evelyn Njambi stabbed her in the back to ruin her chance to shine at the global Miss World competition.
In an interview with Bongo 5 in December, Diana Edwards said that her documentary titled Maasai Dondosha Wembe which was about a project calling on communities to bring to an end female genital mutilation, scooped position 24 in the Beauty with a Purpose category instead of the first position because Evelyn Njambi complained that she also had a similar display.
Miss World Tanzania claimed Njambi, who was her best friend, copied her project without her knowledge.
“I am not happy with what she did, I asked her if she knew some Kenyan designer she denied yet she has ever been designed by him. So I wore his design not knowing she has ever worn it and did a photo-shoot with it. All along she was a fake, going behind my back, saying as Africans we have to support each other yet she knew exactly what she was up-to,” Diana was quoted by Bongo 5.
In her defense, Miss World Kenya said she didn’t play part in Edwards’ failure since it was the work of judges to dictate the results of a contestant’s performance.
“We have no control over how a judge will dictate your results or your performance. Our work was to do the video, which we did and submitted. So, when we got there to Miss World competition, the judges had already seen them – and we were only waiting for their evaluation reports. So, it is good that both of us had the same project, but I think the most important thing is for us to put our differences aside and come together and face this Beauty with a Purpose project that occurs in both our countries, which is anti-FGM, and which I am very passionate about. So, if we were to come together and rescue them (girls) from the female circumcision that would be great. Yeah. I have forgiven her for the remarks. Sisters fight, sisters make up,” Evelyn Njambi was quoted by eDaily.
