Miss Dominican Republic Scandal: How Much Longer Can the Cover-Up Continue?

Posted on | April 2, 2011 | 13 Comments

As Smitty reported yesterday, Evi Siskos (pictured above) has claimed that she was robbed of the Miss Dominican Republic title because judges were bribed to give the crown to Dalia Fernandez. Dan Collins at Piece of Work in Progress has updated us on his ongoing investigation of this scandal. My own efforts to get to the bottom . . . er, to expose . . . to uncover the sordid truth have been hampered because no habla Espanol:

NUEVA YORK._ Esta ciudad, cuna del concurso mundial de belleza Miss Universo, fue escenario ayer miércoles de lo que parece ser el de una guerra entre mega divas y mises dominicanas, cuando en conferencia de prensa la ex candidata de Samaná –Evi Sisko – denunció que en el certamen 2011, “hubo dinero sucio”, sugiriendo que la corona fue comprada por la actual reina Delia Fernández, representante de Santiago de los Caballeros.
Se unió también a la campaña de denuncias que alegan que Fernández pagó $100.000 dólares por su corona.
Evi Sisko, que representó la península samanense pidió que debido a las acusaciones de fraude que algunas concursantes están denunciando en la prensa, se debería exigir alguna explicación a la Organización Miss Universo Internacional con sede en esta metrópolis y cuya franquicia es propiedad del magnate de bienes raíces, Donald Trump.
“Yo, lo que quiero es la verdad, exijo saber qué pasó”, expresó en la rueda de prensa celebrada en Manhattan.

Ay, caramba! Muy caliente! Uno cerveza, por favor.
