Slighted Miss Vietnam walks out in a huff from 2008 Beauty Contest

When asked about her surprise exit from the event in the central province of Quang Nam, Thuy told Thanh Nien she did not intend to appear in the grand final event on August 31.

“I am planning to complete some scheduled appointments in Ho Chi Minh City by September 6,” she said.

According to the contest organizing committee, Thuy was asked to stand apart from the other contestants at a charity event at Quang Nam Center for Orphans and Disadvantaged Children early on Saturday.

Organizers said the appearance of Thuy alongside the contestants would have confused the judges.

A “sad” Thuy flew back to her hometown of Hanoi after completing her scheduled events on Saturday, which included a party in the evening hosted by the organizers.

Head of the organizing committee, Duong Xuan Nam, said the absence of Thuy on the final night was “no big deal.”

“During previous contests, the new beauty queen was granted the crown from the organizers and not from the previous winner,” he said.
