Winners of Miss Ghana 2019 beauty pageant have hit out at critics and social media trolls who branded them ugly in a recent TV interview.

It started when Citi Tv posted pictures of the winner of Miss Ghana 2019 Rebecca Nana Adwoa Kwabi alongside those of 1st runner up Sarah Odei Amoani and 2nd runner up Deborah Opoku Sarfo who were there for a live TV interview on their twitter handle.

Some Ghanaians on micro blogging site twitter started question why these ugly looking ladies could win the miss Ghana contest with some asking the winners to take of their wigs and make up to reveal their true identity.

The defiant beauty queens have hit back hard at critics who claim they are ugly, in a TV interview on GH One Tv.

Quizzed if she has rescinded her decision to represent Ghana at the Miss World, Kwabi says she is beautiful and capable of that and so nothing would stop her.

“I am beautiful, confident, and very capable of representing Ghana at the Miss World. Nothing can stop me,” she stressed.

The first and second runner-ups, Sarah Odei-Amoani, and Deborah Opoku Sarfo, respectively, said they were also not bothered about the ugly trolls.

According to them, the negative backlash brought them massive hype leading to increased followers on social media.

The two believed the ugly tag benefited them more than people thought was going to hurt them.

Revealing what could cause their bad photos which generated the controversy, Sarah said it could be from the low-quality mobile phones used by the patrons of the show.

Therefore, they should blame their phones for the poor images.

They denied that it was a make-up flaw, stressing that: “You can’t use a poor quality phone to take a photo and expect it to look nice, they should blame themselves because we know we are beautiful.”

“Also, beauty is not always physical. We have inward beauty too,” Deborah quickly chipped in.

“But on a more serious note, Ghanaians should project their own to the world and not try to bring them down with negative reports,” she cautioned.
