Chloe Powery-Doxey is set to depart for the Miss Universe pageant on Monday where she will represent the Cayman Islands on 14 Jan. at the international beauty contest in New Orleans.
Miss Universe Cayman Islands committee deputy chair Donna Bush confirmed Powery-Doxey’s departure Sunday night in a brief statement.
Powery-Doxey replaced embattled beauty queen Miss Cayman Islands Universe Tiffany Conolly who is facing criminal charges. She is accused of beating up her ex-boyfriend and his father, damaging their cars and then assaulting and cursing at police officers on the evening of 15 Oct. 2021.
Conolly has pleaded not guilty. A verdict is expected early this year.
When the charges came to light, Powery-Doxey, 25 of George Town, was selected to compete in the Miss Universe pageant and Conolly was suspended from making public appearances.
Bush, in her statement Sunday night, said, in preparation for the pageant, Powery-Doxey has received training from Lu Sierra (international pageant and runway coach), former Miss Cayman Islands Universe 2018, Caitlin Tyson, and etiquette consultants Minerva Cayman.
“The Committee would like to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey and wish Chloe all the best as she represents the Cayman Islands,” she added.
