A swimsuit model has been stripped of her title as the Miss Swimsuit after suggesting that “all lives matter” in a lengthy Facebook post in which she questioned the protests related to George Floyd’s death.
23-year-old Jasmine Archer-Jones had been a reigning Miss Swimsuit UK, a title she earned in 2019, until she sparked outrage on social media by questioning the Black Lives Matter movement.
According to the young model, who admitted that “what happened to George Floyd was wrong,” all lives matter and she wishes for innocent people to stop dying because of riots.
“PERSONAL OPINION! If you don’t wanna know don’t read,” Jasmine wrote in her post which has been deleted following the backlash.
“This is ridiculous now. It HAS to STOP. ALL lives matter, if you look deeply into statistic, more UNARMED WHITE people DIED than BLACK last year … Think about that.”
The swimsuit model then went on to slam the protests and looting and suggested that innocent businesses are suffering because of the movement.
“It doesn’t bring the person back, it’s defiantly doesn’t bring justice for the family, in my opinion people are using this tragic event as an excuse to let loose after being stuck inside quarantining for months,” she added.
The young model also touched the topic of George Floyd’s death and suggested that police officers had the right to “use whatever means necessary” to restrain the suspect after he resisted arrest.
Following Jasmine’s Facebook post, the reigning queen has been stripped of her title whereas the Miss Swimsuit UK officials removed her photos from their website and ditched her name from the list of Previous Winners.
