Russian beauty to take part in Miss Universe pageant despite porn scandal

9 Jul, 04:52 PM

At the Miss Universe 2009 beauty pageant Russia is going to
be represented by 18-year-old Sophia Rudyeva, in spite of
her involvement in a child porn scandal.

Rudyeva won the Miss Russia pageant in March. But soon after
she was crowned Russia’s most beautiful woman, an old erotic
photo session featuring her appeared on the Internet.

The situation was especially controversial as at the time of
the photo shooting, made for an international adult
magazine, Rudyeva was only 15 years old, although she
already possessed an enviable figure.

Organizers of the beauty pageant questioned the
appropriateness of Sophia’s participation in the world
beauty contest, saying that millions of girls worldwide look
up to beauty pageant winners, and you can’t expect a child
porn star to set a positive example.

Rudyeva responded to the debates in the media in an open
letter, in which she apologized to everyone she had upset.
She blamed dishonest managers and photographers for tricking
her into the illegal photo shooting, and vowed that if she
wins the Miss Universe title she will use her influence to
prevent young and silly girl models from repeating her
mistakes.

Controversy notwithstanding, Komsomolskaya Pravda daily
reported Thursday that Rudyeva is going to the Bahamas in
August to represent Russia at the Miss Universe contest.

“I am now getting ready for the contest,” she told the newspaper.

“I’ve been taking part in charity activities, took yoga,
fitness and singing classes. I became the face of three
world-famous brands, such as Philip Plein. I am very
confident of myself.”
