Rachel Gupta, in a video, cries and shares her story.

Miss Grand International Organization has a different version of events, claiming that Rachel Gupta was officially terminated from her position. However, Rachel narrated her experience over the last seven months. She said, “Frankly, they don’t care if I live or die. As long as I’m there to smile at their events, as long as I keep my body super skinny, the way they like, they don’t care if I live or die. They just want me to be there, to go on TikTok Live and make money for them and show up at their events. That’s it, that’s all they want from me… I realized they would never support me, and I was completely on my own; they made us sell. You guys know they made us sell these cheap, tacky products on TikTok like we were salesgirls. You’ve crowned queens, girls who have careers in our country, we do things, we’re well respected, and they’re making us sell cheap products on TikTok because it makes them money, and you can’t say no.”

Rachel Gupta slams the organization.

Rachel slammed the organization for promoting unrealistic beauty standards. She said, “I asked them I need access to a gym because obviously, you have to keep taking care of yourself, like that’s the job,. But they didn’t arrange that for me. I had to beg and beg for them to give me a yoga mat… at the same time; they were hounding me and constantly talking about my weight and my body all the time. I remember one time, they sent their representative to me, and he just comes up to me, and he starts pinching me in different places, and he’s like, ‘Oh, you need to lose weight here, you need to lose weight here’. What am I supposed to say to that? It’s so embarrassing. It makes you feel so small and so bad. I understand, obviously I have to stay fit for the job I have, and stay in shape, but it’s so difficult when you don’t have access to anything and you’re just locked in a house, basically all day long.”

In her YouTube video, Rachel claimed that countries could pay for votes during the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant, and the organization accepted these payments, creating unfair competition. She also wrote about the courage it took for her to speak honestly and openly and concluded by thanking her audience for listening and supporting her.
