Bangkok- Seeking to end to lurid speculation about why she resigned as Miss Thailand World, 21-year-old Angela McKay said yesterday contest organizers had pressured her to step down due to provocative photos taken for her modelling portfolio.
McKay previously said she was giving up her crown because she hadn’t realized how much time she would be expected to commit.
But as she announced her resignation last week, after holding the title for just 10 days, speculation was already rife that some hidden scandal lay behind her decision.
In the past few days, several Thai newspapers have published nude photos, purportedly of her. Copies circulated widely on the Internet.
Speaking at a news conference Tuesday, McKay indicated the nude photos were not of her, but acknowledged she had posed for photos in tight outfits.
