When the beauty queen Pushpika De Silva could finally crown herself with the title «Mrs. Sri Lanka »Sunday, there was complete confusion on stage.
The winner of the nomination for 2020, Caroline Jurie, strongly disagreed with who ran away with the victory this year, and was quick to take the crown off De Silva’s head – possibly a little too harshly. She claimed that the recent beauty queen could not get the title because she was divorced.

Then she placed the crown on the other finalist, which led to a crying De Silva running off the stage. De Silva has since regained the title, after the organizers were able to confirm that she is still married. However, she is separated.
In the days that followed, it went so far that the police became involved, and now report BBC that Jurie has been arrested for the incident.
