After empty legal threats against the former beauty queens bravely speaking out against being exploited the organizers of the Miss Ghana pageant are waging a strong PR war to attempt to win back the trust of Ghanaians especially the young ladies who would want to sign up for upcoming pageants.
After the bombastic allegations of former contestants such as Stephanie Karikari, Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi, and Antoinette Delali Kemavor which GhanaCelebrities.Com broke, 2017 winner Margaret Dery also resigned her position out of the blue, confirming the pageant is nothing more than a front for emotionally and s£xually abusing young ladies to enrich only one person.
Margaret Dery’s resignation has brought the issue back into the national spotlight and for many only validated the allegations of the former queens and now Exclusive Events is hitting back.
A statement from it’s PR department lashes out at the ladies making the allegations, describing them as ‘beauties without brains’ calling their allegations false.
The statement reads, in part: “We are daring the former winners, Margaret Dery (Miss Ghana 2017), Stephanie Karikari (Miss Ghana 2010), Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi (Miss Ghana 2013) and Antoinette Delali Kemavor (Miss Ghana 2015) to mention the names and addresses of the Big Men that Inna Patty and Exclusive Events Ghana wanted the Beauty Queens to have sex with in return for financial returns and sponsorship deals.
“It is very sad that in this modern era some young women still see themselves as only useful sex objects. Beauties without brains always consider themselves as sex objects and nothing else.”
If as many as four former winners of the pageant are ‘beauties without brains’ as the statement claims, does it mean the pageant only rewards girls who are pretty yet dumb? And if that’s the case doesn’t it just reinforce the idea that the ladies are chosen not for any other reason but for their beauty which they can use to lure big men and get money for the company?
As for daring them to mention the names it’s a very obvious (and lame) attempt to get the girls into legal trouble with big and powerful men.
Ghanaians have heard the beauty queens and their stories and a pattern has emerged which should warn people off. No amount of half baked statements can bring the pageant back on its feet.

Exclusive Events Ghana Dares Former Beauty Queens to mention the names and addresses of the Big Men who wanted to Sexually Abuse them
The management of Exclusive Events Ghana, the organizers of the annual Miss Ghana Beauty Pageant by this statement categorically rubbishes the frivolous allegations of sexual exploitation, abuse and pimping of the winners of the pageant to preying men. These allegations levelled against Exclusive Events Ghana and Inna Patty are useless and categorically untrue, inspired by malice and mischief and only calculated to ridicule, embarrass, disparage and bring out the outfit into disrepute.
We are daring the former winners, Margaret Dery (Miss Ghana 2017), Stephanie Karikari (Miss Ghana 2010), Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi (Miss Ghana 2013) and Antoinette Delali Kemavor (Miss Ghana 2015) to mention the names and addresses of the Big Men that Inna Patty and Exclusive Events Ghana wanted the Beauty Queens to have sex with in return for financial returns and sponsorship deals.
It is very sad that in this modern era some young women still see themselves as only useful sex objects. Beauties without brains always consider themselves as sex objects and nothing else.
Women empowerment and development will continue to suffer setbacks if naive women still hold onto the old tricks of using sex as a medium to manipulate, discredit and blackmail people when situations and events do not favour their ways and aspirations.
Institutions, organizations and prominent people in society have had their hard earned reputation destroyed by the ‘foolish’ attitude of some women using frivolous sex allegations as a powerful tool in blackmailing.
Exclusive Events Ghana and Inna Patty have never on any occasion use the Beauty Pageant to sexually harrass and abuse contestants and that is so.
We urge our former beauty queens to exhibit maturity and back their sex allegations by mentioning the names and addresses of these Big Men who wanted to sleep with them so the necessary legal action can be taken against them.
Why is it that the beauty queens did not report the so called Big Men to the security agencies over sexual exploitation and abuse?
