YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A dethroned 16-year-old beauty queen from Myanmar said Tuesday she won't return her bejeweled $100,000 crown until pageant organizers apologize for calling her a liar and a thief.
May Myat Noe — the country's first winner of an international beauty contest — lashed back at her accusers at a tightly packed news conference.
She said representatives of the Miss Asia Pacific World pageant lied about her age — saying she was 18 instead of 16 — and tried to pressure her into getting plastic surgery "from head to toe."
Noe denied having breast implants as claimed by David Kim, director of media for the South Korean-based pageant. He said the surgery was provided free of charge, part of efforts to boost the teen into super-stardom.
Kim said Noe was stripped of her title last week because she was dishonest and unappreciative, and that she ran off with her tiara after learning of the decision.
Noe said she boarded a plane for Myanmar before getting word.
She said she did not intend to steal the crown, but also wasn't going to give it back without a "sorry," not just to her, but also to Myanmar.
"I'm not even proud of this crown," she said after opening a blue box and placing the tiara on the table in front of her.
"I don't want a crown from an organization with such a bad reputation."
The pageant says the Swarovski tiara is worth more than $100,000.
Noe's mother, who accompanied her on the trip to South Korea, cried when asked about the experience.
The Miss Asia Pacific World pageant, now in its fourth year, is no stranger to controversy.
In 2011, Wales representative Amy Willerton and several other contestants alleged that the contest had been fixed after a woman representing Venezuela was apparently named runner-up of the talent round before competing.
The argument with organizers — captured on video and uploaded to YouTube under the title "Confessions of a Beauty Queen" — was widely circulated in the pageant community.
Some of the contestants also accused officials of asking the women for sex in return for higher placement in the contest, and charged that the police called into investigate the allegations were bribed.
Those allegations were denied by Kim.
"It is not true that the girls were sleeping with the organizers or the director," he said. "The police already announced that these were just rumors. We checked everything, the CCTV in the hotel, everything. It was just rumors."
Myanmar, which only recently emerged from a half century of military rule and self-imposed isolation, started sending contestants to international pageants again in 2012.
Noe's win was widely covered in local media.

Take it easy. No need to take it so close to your heart dear, which hate? It is just some beauty pageants, take it with fun always
I just don't believe to a girl, who says that she didn't get operation and implants, and there is a prove that she did. Also that she is 15, but she was saying she is 18 and never mentioned to public she is underage, so whoever lied about her MAPW or ND, she was with them together in that lie. And at the last i think she doesn't do right by keeping a crown as a hostage. If she would be honest girl and everything she said was true, she would not need that crown and she would simply give it back to organizers, but she is like a hungry thief stole it and keeping, i can not respect this girl. If she is not happy with something, she should sue, but not to steal jewelry and go to sell stones and trying to get rich in such low way. To me she looks like hungry thief. And no hate, but just no respect. If she wants respect, she must confess her lies, she should give crown back and only in this case she has chance to look like a lady not like a thief. Till that moment MAPW with all their controversies seems more honest as so far i saw that they did her surgery, not like she is keep saying she has no implants. Nothing to hate, it is just clear that she is liar, small liar teen girl, maybe also poor, but many agencies would give her job, she should not steal crown!

What u did is not fun anymore, U are attacking her. Don't u have commonsense?
if you have operation video, feel free to upload it. Don't keep barking here.
She nvr lie her age to National Director and Organization. She mentioned her true age (i also know her true age long time ago)
All i know is , ND ask her 'are you interested to go' and did handpick.
Your swarovski crown is useless to us coz we can even buy Jade with very low price even in market in our country, we dun like crystal n no one will buy even u come and sell LOL. (one day, u will get daughter and yr daughter will suffer like her, krama)
You are the only one who believe that organization and note that 'WE DUN CARE U'.
You call her liar, thief and spoiled queen. Krama will come to u, just observe. You daughter will suffer soon. As far as i know, you are drama queen with bitchy attitude here.
If your swarovski crown is so damn precious, sue her. Upload operation video instead of wasting your time here. If she is wrong, we are ready to blame her. But accusing and cyber bullying underage girl without proper resource is crime. c3

After she stole a crown there are no serious pageant to accept her or to let her win, she behaved unprofessionally. What she will do with that crown? Will wear? When all people around knows she dethroned
