Domonique Ramirez, Miss San Antonio, Loses Crown For Gaining Weight

Domonique Ramirez was stripped of her Miss San Antonio title becaus she was too fat? According to Ramirez, her crown of Miss San Antonio was taken away from her because of her weight.

The 17-year-old beauty queen was told to "get off the tacos" by pageant officials—and she’s 5ft8in and weighs 129lbs. If Domonique Ramirez at a size 2, is too fat, what about the rest of us? Using the standards of the Miss San Antonio pageant, I should be in a circus!

Domonique Ramirez won the Miss San Antonio competition in April last year but she was stripped of her title and now she’s suing the pageant. The former queen has filed a temporary restraining order to stop pageant organizers from promoting runner-up Ashley Dixon to the crown.

Naturally the pageant has a different story than Domonique. Linda Woods, the pageant board’s spokeswoman, says Ramirez didn’t follow the rules. Woods said, "As a Miss San Antonio reigning queen, has to live up to our rules and regulations and the standards of our contract."

Woods told a local news station that Ramirez skipped events or showed up with her boyfriend, and was unreliable. Ramirez told a San Antonio TV station, "I shouldn’t have to be slandered like this and my future shouldn’t have to be ruined over this."
