Two Miss Universe Judges Resign After Suspecting Rigging

Two Miss Universe judges have resigned days before the annual beauty pageant, with one of them accusing organizers of rigging the selection process. Lebanese- French musician Omar Harfouch, who announced his resignation from the eight-member jury on Instagram, alleged that an "impromptu jury" had pre-selected finalists ahead of the competition, set to be held on Friday in Thailand. Hours later, French football manager Claude Makélélé also announced he'd pulled out, citing "unforeseen personal reasons."
