when they refused to eat fast food and requested to be taken to a grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the 49-year-old is alleging that the pageant was biased before it even started saying \u201csome girls got special treatment and some girls were told they won certain segments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all; Bailey believes that the pageant did not have to be postponed since most of the girls wanted the show to go on.<\/p>\n<p>She said they were given varying excuses such as the weather and \u201cno prize money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bailey, therefore, believes that she and the other girls should be reimbursed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a former contestant in the pageant is saying that her experience mirrors that of Bailey.<\/p>\n<p>Renee Edwards-Ambrose, the first Antiguan to enter the contest in 2013 says she too found that the organizer was \u201csketchy\u201d and therefore did not pay the registration fee.<\/p>\n<p>However, she said she was so excited about entering that she ignored the signs.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that not only was the pageant biased that year but when she conducted investigations, she learned that many of the things they were told were lies.<\/p>\n<p>She said even to this day, the winner of the pageant from her year has not received her prize money.<\/p>\n<p>Williams refused to comment on the matter but at least some of the girls have indicated that the experience was not good enough to speak about.<\/p>\n<p>Loop News reached out to the pageant for a comment on the allegations but they did not respond to our request.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Loop
