Lawreen Shiyenzi, who held the titles of Miss County Kakamega and Miss People’s Choice 2023, has been dethroned and her contract terminated by the Miss County National Beauty Contest. The decision stems from allegations of the model‘s involvement in the production of adult videos. The organizers, in a widely circulated notice deemed Ms. Shiyenzi’s actions contrary to the values and reputation of the award scheme.
“We write to inform you that, you as Miss County-Kakamega and Miss County-People’s Choice Kenya 2023, have not lived up to the image and reputation of our brand as a representative,”
The letter stated.
The organizers expressed disappointment that Ms. Lawreen Shiyenzi failed to uphold the image expected of a representative of their brand. The letter cited videos from supporters depicting her engagement in inappropriate activities for financial gain online. It stated, “We have received so many Pornographic Video material from our supporters showing you participating in pornography for financial gain.“
