Miss Iceland Arna Ýr Jónsdóttir was in the top 10 but had to quit the Miss Grand International beauty competition after she was told by the event’s founder she was too overweight to win the contest. She was instructed to eat only one meal per day and drink only water all evening.
The 20-year-old beauty dropped out of the contest saying she was proud of who she was and how she looked.
She said, “If the owner of the contest really wants me to lose weight and doesn’t like me the way I am, then he doesn’t deserve to have me in the top 10.”
