While the Miss France committee is actively preparing the Miss France 2022 contest, the Miss Senegal beauty pageant committee is splashed by a huge scandal. As the Senegalese press has revealed in recent days, Ndèye Fatima Dione, winner of Miss Senegal 2020 recently revealed to have been raped by several men last year. Following this gang rape, the beauty queen got pregnant and is now the mother of a 5 month old baby boy.
A shocking testimony
As we can read on the Instagram account “Buzz2missOfficiel”, Miss Senegal 2020 would have been raped by a gang of 5 men, leaving her hotel for a demonstration Organized by the organization Miss Senegal. “The Miss was beaten, raped, torn all over, in front, behind, nothing was spared” can we read. We also learn that the committee has broken off all contact with the beauty queen, following the scandal.
A relative of the young woman also testified to explain the following facts: “The only thing we know is that Fatima got pregnant following her coronation. We do not wish to accuse anyone, but one thing is certain, before we discovered her pregnancy, she was with a member of the organizing committee of Miss Senegal. Usually, when the organizers needed her, they accommodated her in a hotel, but before her trip to Morocco, she was taken to a house and we don’t know the reason “.
She continues: “After this stay in this house, Fatima began to complain of stomach aches and became very sickly. Taken to the hospital, we were informed that she was 4 months pregnant when we thought it was a fibroid. We do not know the perpetrator of this pregnancy, we just know that this 20 year old girl was raped. On several occasions, she thought of committing suicide “
The committee defends itself and slips
The case having taken on an international scale, Amina Badiane, the patron of the organizing committee of Miss Senegal, took the floor: “What she said is baseless. A raped girl is never free from blame. She is of age and vaccinated. That she bring evidence of what she alleges and that she lodge a complaint. If she was raped, it was because she consented.
A dissociation which literally shocked the Senegalese and which caused a wave of indignation on the web. Also according to the Senegalese press, the prosecution has taken the case and an investigation will be carried out. Finally, it was revealed that a complaint will be filed by a feminist organization against the president for apologizing for rape.
