Pretty Ugly: Miss Global 2022 disqualifies Valeria Vasilieva following social media controversy
The organizing committee of Miss Global 2022 has disqualified Miss Global Estonia, Valeria Vasilieva, amid backlash from her viral video in which she labeled Bali police “corrupt.”
team and committee, we are disturbed and genuinely regret the behavior of Miss Global Estonia.”
“Until you will pay all of the money you have to this fucking corruption police [sic]. Good luck,” she added.
Vasilieva, according to Kishanty, has been officially disqualified from the event, which will take place on June 11 in Nusa Dua, Bali. The committee said that they found Vasilieva “has broken the rules” without elaborating further on the exact violations that the Estonian beauty queen had committed.
Vasilieva later took down the video but local entrepreneur and fashion designer Niluh Djelantik (@niluhdjelantik) noticed it and uploaded a copy on her Instagram account. “With that many pageant crowns you have, but still no manners,” Niluh wrote in the caption.
As previously reported, Vasilieva became the subject of public backlash after uploading a video on her TikTok account last week where she ranted about “[We] want to clarify and address authorities in Bali. a recent, viral issue that has been going on on social media “If you want to travel to Bali, be in the past several days,” ready,” she said in the nowKishanty Hardaningtyas, the deleted video.

arrived on the Island of Gods on April 25. The committee said that she had visited Bali earlier than expected for the pageant and had traveled on her own dime. Vasilieva herself flew out from the island on May 17, which was the same day when immigration was alerted to the social media drama. Local outlets reported that she booked herself a flight to Doha the very same day the controversy began. Some pointed out that Vasilieva had a point by calling out “corrupt” Bali police (like the case here). Others, however, pointed out that a number of foreigners had been caught violating traffic rules, such as failing to wear motorcycle helmets. Ultimately, without proof either way, it’s not clear if Vasilieva was indeed an extortion victim and had justifiable grounds to criticize police in Bali. (Coconuts.co.)
