Controversies

Sri Lanka Pageant Assault

In April 2021, Caroline Jurie, then-reigning 2020 Mrs. World winner and former Mrs. Sri Lanka World, was the subject of controversy after she took the crown off from the head of 2021 Mrs. Sri Lanka World winner Pushpika De Silva, announcing that the winner should be married but not divorced.

Shortly after, the Mrs. World organization announced that Kate Schneider from Ireland, who was the first runner up when Jurie won the title, was named Mrs. World 2020 following the voluntary resignation of Jurie. [20] Jurie remained as a former Mrs. World and was listed in the official booklet of Mrs World 2022.

Pushpika De Silva was officially stripped of her title on 8 February 2022 on grounds of 'serious violation of the discipline and the ethical standards expected of a beauty queen. [21]

Syrian Refugee Denied Visa

Mrs. UK World 2021, Leen Clive, was due to travel to Las Vegas for the Mrs. World 2021 pageant. However, she was denied entry into the United States, believed to be due to her Syrian birth, although she had been living in the UK since 2013. [22] Her participation was instead moved to the next pageant set for the end of 2022.
