Miss Swimsuit UK Winner Stripped of Title After Black Lives Matter Tirade on Social Media

A former winner of the Miss Swimsuit UK beauty pageant has had her title removed after she criticised the Black Lives Matter movement and called into question the innocence of George Floyd – it has been reported.

Jasmine Archer-Jones had been the most recent winner of the contest, which markets itself as “meeting the demand among today’s social media generation for glamorous, accessible role models that they can aspire to and emulate.”

However the 23-year-old, who moved to Houston, Texas after winning the UK title, is understood to have been expunged from the competition’s history after saying she is “yet to see hard evidence” that George Floyd was innocent when he was killed at the hands of a police officer.

Mr Floyd, 46, suffocated to death with an officer’s knee on his neck as he pleaded for his life after law enforcement were called because he had allegedly tried to shop with a counterfeit $20 bill.

According to reports, Ms Archer-Jones wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post: “ALL lives matter, if you look deeply into statistics, more UNARMED WHITE people DIED than BLACK last year”.

A study from the CDC considering deaths from 2009 to 2012 in fact found the rate of of fatalities due to police use of lethal force is 2.8 times higher for black Americans than it is for white Americans.Ms Archer-Jones added: “Yes what happened to George Floyd was wrong and unforgivable but so is what happens to many other people of difference races in similar situations.

“Yet they don’t get to protest, loot, take over social media, create a day for their race or even raise $10.3million in aid of the person who passed.

“The majority of crime and deaths regarding black people is caused by black on black crime that happens in America”.

While her original comments have since been deleted from her Facebook profile, other posts shared by the model that are critical of Black Lives Matter protestors – and one that appears to claim Mr Floyd’s death was a staged “False flag incident” – remain on her account.

A source cited by the media said the swimsuit competition’s organisers “have posted in support of the Black Lives Matter protest and could not afford to be associated with her”.

They added: “Jasmine has tried to sweep it under the carpet and continue on as if nothing has happened but organisers acted quickly to airbrush her from their history.”
