Several complaints have been filed by candidates, some for fraud, against the organizing company Glloo Esthetic. If the presence of a bailiff is not mandatory, the votes to decide were charged contrary to what had been announced in the regulations. A vote against 3 euros – 0.99 cents for Miss France – not necessarily useful: “We learned after being eliminated that the votes of the public were only used to decide between. If our scores obtained during the selection in front of the jury and the MCQ of general culture were too close between two competitors, then the votes were taken into account.“
The gifts on the sidelines of the competition did not live up to what was expected either. For the last 30 candidates in the running, for example, the one-week preparation trip to Morocco in a 5-star hotel turned into a low-cost stay in Portugal with dormitory rooms with a contribution of 100 euros per person. The winner was not entitled to the plastic surgery prize, withdrawn after the intervention of the Paris court. According to Félix Koum, co-founder of Glloo Esthetic in Release“the candidates received more than 80% of the planned gifts”the remaining 20% corresponding to “withdrawals of the partners because of the controversy“. Despite everything, registrations for 2023 have already been launched.
