Evi Siskos Asks Donald Trump To Look Into Allegations Miss Universe Contestant Bought Title
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Who could've guessed: drama's percolating backstage at a beauty pageant.
Fort Lee resident Evi Siskos, 22, competed to be Miss Dominican Republic as part of Donald Trump's Miss Universe competition.
Siskos lost to Dalia Fernandez.
After she lost, Siskos says she started reading reports alleging that Fernandez paid more than $110,000 to win the competition. Fernandez has reportedly denied the allegation.
Fernandez will compete in the Miss Universe pageant this summer.
At a news conference Wednesday, Siskos was joined by attorney Jacob Oresky to call on Donald Trump to look into the claim. The two reportedly said they just want Trump to get to the bottom of it, and just want the truth.
Do you think you can buy victory at a beauty competition? Should Trump investigate the allegations? Or is this just sour grapes? Sound off in our comments section.
