Miss Florida Suing Pageant After Losing Her Crown
August 2, 2016
(WIOD) A former Miss Florida USA winner is suing the pageant after losing her crown.
The Miami Herald is reporting that lawyers for 24-year-old Genesis Davila filed the lawsuit, asking a Miami-Dade judge to issue an emergency injunction restoring her title.
The suit also seeks $15 million for defamation.
Davila was crowned a few weeks ago - but dethroned six days later for getting professional help with her makeup and hair. That's a pageant no-no.
She held a press conference with her lawyer and good friend where they discussed the lawsuit.
