Embattled beauty queen Nasara Mariam Abdul Rauf, winner of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” 2009 pageant, has made some startling revelations in an exclusive interview with peacefmonline.com. Nasara, who has been stripped of her crown for allegedly stealing a mobile phone belonging to a fellow contestant, Miss UK, at the Miss Earth 2010, held in the Philippines, spoke with so much emotion when she said TV3 Network - producers of “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” pageant who gave her the crown, the fame and all that comes with it - have stabbed her in the back. According to her, when the “New Fylla” newspaper first broke the story that she had stolen a phone, she spoke to her lawyers, who were preparing to sue the paper for defaming her, but TV3 told her to put everything on hold. “They told me not to go out and talk to any media house about the issue, so I asked my lawyers to hold on, only to see a press release on the internet that my crown has been taken from me," she said. Nasara said TV3 never gave her the opportunity to explain her side of the story. “I don’t know why TV3 has done this. They didn’t call me to hear my side. I saw it on Facebook that my crown has been taken from me. I am very surprised, because TV3 have stabbed me in the back,” Nasara disclosed. She added that Felix Odontoh of TV3 Brands Department, called to meet her on Monday after they (TV3) issued a press statement, but she does not intend to see him because the harm has already been done. Nasara, who still has in her possession the crown, the car and cash prize, said as far as she is concerned she is still ‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009’ because TV3 has still not told her anything, and they cannot base their decision on a false newspaper report. The press statement signed by the CEO of TV3 Ahmed Zaidi said "She (Nasara) was involved in a phone theft in UK", but the beauty queen denies ever visiting the UK. "...it is not true because I have never even been to the UK," she said. TV3’s press statement also stated that only her “crown will be taken away from her, but “she will retain all the prizes she received for winning the pageant, including the car”, however, Nasara told peacefmonline.com that would not be necessary. “If TV3 is taking the crown based on this absolutely false story, then they should as well take everything, the crown comes with the car, the Gh¢2000 cash prize and everything because there is no point having the car without the crown or anything else,” she emphasized. Asked about the phone she allegedly stole, Nasara replied, “I am not going to ask any human being on earth to believe or not to believe me. This is between me and my God, and God knows that I have never stolen anybody’s phone, and I’m ok with that...It is a big lie. I used Miss UK’s phone, she was angry because she said I over used it; I returned the phone and paid for it (the amount of units I used). Anybody who knows me will believe me; what I will say will not change anything. It is just wrong information,” she stated. Nasara, who seemed a bit confused as to what to do next due to her claims of betrayal by TV3, said she was seeking legal advice for the next course of action to take, but believed the God who gave her ‘Ghana’s Most Beautiful’ crown will see her through.

The Unedited Press Release From TV3 TV3 regrets to announce that in the light of certain recent revelations, involving the winner of TV3’s Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009 Miss Nasara Mariam Abdul Rauf, it is officially parting ways with her. The decision has come after series of investigations and internal discussions. The Crown will automatically pass on to Miss Lamisi Sam Awinongya, the 1st runner up of Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2009. It has not been easy for TV3 to arrive at such a course of action. This has however become necessary in order to maintain the integrity of and uphold the noble ideas of the TV3 Ghana’s Most Beautiful brand. Miss Nasara, will, however, retain all the prizes that she received for winning the pageant, including the car. TV3 wishes Miss Nasara well in all her future endeavours. Thank you.
