Rebound in the Miss France contest. The beauty pageant committee canceled Miss Guadeloupe’s participation after photos of the young topless woman emerged on the web. Photos taken to raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer. An announcement that surprised Valerie Trierweiler. The journalist and former companion of Francois Hollande denounced the system in place and called on the committee to reconsider its position on the eligibility ofAnaelle Guimbi. As a reminder, the 20-year-old young woman had taken her artistic photographs, her body covered with paint, in order to raise awareness of the cause of breast cancer.
“Disqualify a woman because she dared to show part of her breast to help fight against breast cancer? Unthinkable and yet it happened to Anaëlle Guimbi who was competing for the crown of Miss Guadeloupe. A woman would not be therefore not free of his own body? Not free of his thoughts? Of its commitments? The Miss France committee must review its position and reinstate Anaëlle. And why not dedicate this next edition to the prevention of breast cancer. I would remind you that in France, one in eight women has it. “
A committed miss
A message that created unanimity among Internet users, who praised the speech of Valerie Trierweiler. Anaelle Guimbi she had accepted the committee’s decision, but reaffirmed her commitment to this cause which is dear to her. “Unfortunately this magnificent adventure that is Miss Guadeloupe ends here for me. Indeed, the photos you see turn out to be contrary to the values of Miss France. The rules are what they are, I bow but I will always continue to defend the values that are dear to me like this fight against breast cancer. “she said. She did not say her last word.
