Miss Iceland 2015 has dropped out of the Miss Grand International beauty contest after organisers reportedly told her to lose weight, then made her deny the fact, it has emerged.
Iceland Monitor reported yesterday that Arna r Jnsdttir had received a message from spokespeople of the owner of the Miss Grand International contest telling her she was too fat and needed to slim down for the grand final on Tuesday.
Later yesterday, Arna r told Icelandic news website mbl.is that the whole thing had been a misunderstanding possibly due to language issues and that the organisers thought she was great and looked forward to working with her in the future.
She has now, however, revealed that she had been ordered to retract her story and that there was no misunderstanding.
