Cheryl Ankrah, who was crowned and dethroned as Miss
Trinidad and Tobago within a span of few months, has finally
lost the battle for her crown. She won't be representing
Trinidad and Tobago at Miss Universe 2005 to be held at
Bangkok, Thailand on May 30, 2005.

to read see earlier report:
Peter Elias and Associates, which had selected her as Miss
Universe Trinidad and Tobago last year later fell out with
her, since she was found to be not complying with her duties
as Miss T&T. They accused her of being overweight and not
sticking to training schedules. Finally, Elias served notice
on dethroning her to choose a new Miss Trinidad and Tobago,
whereupon she moved court seeking an injunction. A temporary
injunction was granted by the court last month against Elias
conducting another beauty pageant to select a new candidate.
This injunction was vacated by the court yesterday.
Now, Peter Elias and Associates is free to hold another
pageant to select the new candidate from Trinidad and Tobago
for Miss Universe 2005.
Before she left with her attorney Cheryl Ankrah said she would
issue a statement eventually, the Trinidad Express reported.
In her affidavit, Ankrah had called Peter Elias a tin god who
nagged her about her pageant preparations, but never bothered
to fix schedules or concentrate specifically on her, the
Trinidad Express added.
