Number 11 Caroline Jurie
On April the 4th of 2021, 28-year-old Caroline Jurie was arrested for snatching the crown
from the new Miss Sri Lanka´s head. Jurie, who’d won the title in 2019 and was also the reigning
Miss World at the time, claimed that 31-year-old Pushpika De Silva didn’t deserve the title,
because she was divorced. During the ceremony, which took place at Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa
Theatre, in Colombo, Jurie yanked the crown from De Silva’s head, leaving her with head injuries.
She was charged with assault and arrested, but was seen leaving a police station, on April the 8th,
after being released on bail. De Silva needed hospital treatment after the incident and was
given back the prize as the event organizers announced that she wasn’t a divorcee.
Because Jurie refused to make a public apology, Miss Sri Lanka was determined to take things to
court. Following the Incident, the woman resigned from her title of Miss World.
Number 10 Madison Cox On May the 23rd of 2016, 17-year-old
Madison Cox was arrested and charged for forging doctor’s notes to skip class at her high school,
in South Carolina. A year prior, Cox had won “Most Photogenic” at the Miss South Carolina Teen
International beauty pageant. The former beauty queen was allegedly caught counterfeiting slips
from a chiropractic practice in Duncan, named the Parris Family Chiropractic. According to
police statements, Cox had stolen a notepad from the practice and penned the letters to cover
her absence from class. However, the dates she’d written on the slips could not be accounted for,
as the doctor´s office was either closed on those days or Cox hadn’t been registered as a visitor.
Number 9 Laura Zuniga
On December the 22nd of 2008, 23-year-old Mexican Model Laura Zuniga was arrested, along with seven
suspected drug traffickers, at a military checkpoint in Zapopan, outside Guadalajara.
They were travelling in two trucks filled with guns and ammunition as well as 16 cellphones
and $53,300. One of the men in the group was identified as Ángel Orlando García Urquiza,
the brother of an alleged drug trafficker, and appeared to have been her boyfriend. Zuniga,
a former preschool teacher, was due to represent Mexico in an upcoming international pageant,
after winning the Miss Sinaloa title in 2009. She told police that she was planning on travelling
to Bolivia and Colombia to do some shopping. In a later interview for Radio Formula, Zuniga claimed
to have been kidnapped by her boyfriend, Urquiza, and that she had no knowledge of his illegal
activities. She was initially sentenced to 40 days in custody, but was released and charges against
her were dropped, as there was no evidence that tied her to criminal activity. Her story inspired
the 2011 film Miss Bala. Number 8 Kendra Gill
On August the 3rd of 2013, 18-year-old Kendra Gill was arrested in Utah for making and throwing
potentially fatal bombs from a moving car. She was charged with felony bomb possession, along
with three other friends, after driving around a suburban area and throwing plastic bottles
filled with tin foil and toilet cleaner. Following the arrest, Gill expressed remorse and stepped
down from her position as Miss Riverton. The former beauty queen and her friends had reportedly
targeted other friends as a prank and claimed to have meant no harm. Although nobody got hurt,
officials stated that the improvised bombs could have caused great injuries or even death. They
were initially charged with possession of an explosive device, punishable by 1 to 15 years
in prison. However, in September of 2013, the teenagers pleaded guilty to the reduced charges of
attempted possession of chemical or incendiary devices and were required to complete 200 hours
of community service. Number 7 Kia Hampton
On May the 28th of 2017, 28-year-old Kia Hampton was arrested in Allen County, Ohio, for bringing
drugs onto government facility grounds. Hampton, who’d been crowned Miss Kentucky USA,
in 2010, as the first African American woman to represent Kentucky in the competition,
was caught smuggling 2.82 grams of marijuana into the Allen Correctional Institution,
in Lima. She was bringing the drugs to Jeremy Kelly, an inmate at the prison.
Officers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol caught on to Hampton after listening to recorded phone
calls. After gathering sufficient evidence, they warranted a cavity search and later reported that,
while the woman was interrogated, she reached into her pants leg and pushed out a marijuana-filled
balloon to the floor. Although prosecutors pushed for a prison sentence, Hampton received probation,
following a hearing in March of 2018. Number 6 Laura Mojica Romero
In February 2021, 25-year-old Laura Mojica Romero was detained in Huatusco, a city in the Mexican
state of Veracruz, on accusations of being part of a kidnapping gang. Romero was originally from the
city of San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec, in Oaxaca, and had won the Miss Oaxaca regional beauty contest
in 2018. The beauty queen faced up to 50 years in prison, if proven guilty. She was captured
along with three other women and five men, after a sting operation held by personnel specialized
in kidnapping. According to the latest updates on the case, Romero and the seven other alleged
kidnappers remained in custody for two months, after the arrest. The investigation is ongoing.
Number 5 Nikki Poteet In August of 2020,
34-year-old American woman Brittany Nicole Poteet was charged with two counts of serious assault for
allegedly whipping her ex-boyfriend with a metal dog chain. The woman, who’d moved to Australia in
2014, was reported to have left gashes across the 43-year-old’s back after flogging him inside their
Sydney home. Police charged her with a second count of assault for also breaking the man’s
nose. Known by her nickname as Nikki, she had performed as a professional wrestler for Kingdom
Wrestling Entertainment and was also crowned Miss Virginia USA, in 2011. However, soon after,
Nikki was forced to give back her crown after posting a picture of herself wearing it with the
caption “Miss Alcoholic USA”. Her accusations were adjourned to Burwood Local Court, in September.
Number 4 Áurea Vázquez Rijos On June the 30th of 2013, Puerto Rican woman
Áurea Vázquez Rijos was arrested in Madrid by the Spanish National Police, on accusations of
conspiring to murder her estranged husband. The former Miss Puerto Rico Petite winner had been on
the run for over seven years. On September the 23rd of 2005, Rijos and Adam Joel Anhang, from
whom she was finalizing a divorce, were leaving a nightclub together. After paying hitman Alex Pabón
$3 million to kill her husband, Rijos lured Anhang to an agreed-upon spot, in Old San Juan,
where Pabón stabbed and beat him to death. To hide her involvement, Rijos claimed to have
also suffered minor injuries during the attack and made it seem like a mugging gone wrong. Initially,
authorities mistakenly arrested and jailed an innocent man for the assassination. Rijos was
not suspected until a subsequent independent FBI investigation found Pabón guilty for the murder,
in 2008. However, by the that time, the former beauty queen had fled to Italy, in 2006,
and managed to stay in hiding until June of 2013. After being detained by the Spanish police,
while incarcerated, Rijos became pregnant and had a baby. She then married the father in jail,
in an attempt to have the Spanish court prevent her extradition as being the mother of a Spanish
citizen. However, only one month after giving birth, in September of 2015, she was extradited
to Puerto Rico under FBI custody. Her trial was set to begin on August the 28th of 2017, but it
was delayed until August the 21st of the following year. In October of 2018, Rijos was found guilty
of her indictment and sentenced to life in prison. Number 3 Adayane Matias
In September of 2012, 20-year-old beauty pageant contestant Adayane Matias confessed about
conspiring to murder Oliveira, aged 21, after losing to her during a Brazilian competition.
Oliveira beat Matias in the final round of the contest which took place in Cariacica,
south-east Brazil, winning the chance to play a starring role in the music video of a popular
local band. Craving recognition as a dancing duo, Matias and her partner, Juliermeson Baston,
plotted to kill Oliveira, hoping that eliminating her rival would gain Matias the pageant prize. The
20-year-old also involved Deivid Correa in the plot, her boyfriend at the time,
convincing him to be the one to kill Oliveira as a proof of love. On September the 21st of 2012,
just hours before the filming of the music video was due to take place,
Oliveira was shot dead in a hotel garden by Correa. After the killing, he allegedly
texted his girlfriend saying “now you can have some ham with your breakfast”, where “ham”
is believed to be Brazilian slang for dead body. Soon after, Matias and Baston confessed
to planning the killing and all three involved have been charged with first-degree murder.

Number 2 Darlene Gentry In February of 2007,
Darlene Gentry was found guilty of murdering her husband and sentenced to sixty years in prison.
Born in Cameron, Texas, she was married to Keith Gentry, whom she’d met at Texas State Technical
College. The former homecoming queen and Keith had been married for six years when, on the morning
of November the 9th of 2005, Darlene called 911 for her husband. She told the operator that they
hadn’t slept together the night before and that when she’d gone into his room, in the morning,
she found him gurgling with pink foam around the mouth. She also stated that all his guns were gone
and that their back door was open. When police arrived, they found Keith Gentry had been shot in
the head, but was still alive. However, there were no signs of forced entry around the house. The man
was rushed to the hospital and, while searching the area, police found a stack of weapons just
outside the Gentry home. They also found it suspicious that Darlene, a registered nurse,
had done nothing to help her husband, so they took her to the station for interrogation. An
hour into the woman’s interview, Keith was deemed brain dead. After taking Darlene to the hospital,
to sign papers that would take her husband off life support, officers returned her to
the station, where they decided she was the prime murder suspect. Further investigations
revealed that Darlene had shot Keith herself with a nine-shot .22 revolver his father had given him,
that she later disposed of in a pond. Number 1 Ruth Kamande
In May of 2018, 24-year-old Kenyan Ruth Kamande was sentenced to death for murdering
her boyfriend, Farid Mohammed, three years prior. While awaiting trial, Kamande won
a beauty pageant in jail and was crowned “Miss Lang’ata Prison” in Nairobi. After the verdict,
she repeatedly tried to appeal the country´s Supreme Court decision to sentence her to death,
but her efforts proved fruitless. Mohammed´s family reportedly requested a sentence
to match the crime, after Kamande had stabbed him 25 times with a kitchen knife. The Kenyan
woman claimed that her boyfriend had tried to infect her with HIV. However, the judge
accused her of manipulative behavior and showing no remorse after the brutal attack that had left
her boyfriend’s dead body drenched in blood. Thanks for watching! Would you accept instantly
