The Mrs. Sri Lanka pageant held at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre last night for the Mrs World contest ended in a major controversy with scense unseen in the hsitory of the pagent in Sri Lanka.

Former Miss Sri Lanka Pushpika De Silva was announced as Mrs. Sri Lanka 2021, but moments later her she was dethroned with the accusation that she was not fit to hold the crown as she was a divorcee.

Hirunews contacted Pushpika to find out her side of the story, since she walked off stage immediately once her crown was removed by Mrs World Caroline Jurie.

She said that she will be revealing everything in a press conference that will be held regarding this matter. Therefore she did n ot comment on the matter further.

Social media has been buzzing with various arguments for an against the action of Mrs World Caroline Jurie.

There have also been comments of former Miss Sri Lanka Pushpika's exit without apparently causing much drama on stage.

However, there has been unconfirmed reports of a fight that took place outside the event.

Caroline Lucy Anne Jurie was crowned Mrs World at the prestigious finale event held in Las Vegas, Nevada in December 2019; winning the coveted position amongst 51 participating countries.

Pushpika Sandamali was crowned as Miss Sri Lanka in 2011. 

One of her fans have posted a message that reads: Absolutely DISGUSTING! Caroline Jurie it is not your place to behave like this! There was a better way to handle this situation and behave in such a manner and humiliate her like that. Pushpika plays the role of mother and father to her son! You should have handled this in a better way. Absolute 3rd class! And chula absolutely wrong how you behaved on stage! Pushpika De Silva I hope you sue them for defamation. You deserved the crown and this is absolutely horrible. You walking away showed grace. The decision should have been made by the main organization and not by you or anyone. You received the title to uplift woman and people not to bring down another woman and bring her shame in public! If there was an issue this could have been dealt with decency and respect. Not shaming a woman for being a single mother.

Another fan said: Women power and feminism isn’t bringing down and humiliating one woman to uplift another. So many better ways to have handled this.
