Beauty contest participants start a fight over a fake butt

A happy moment for a pageant winner turns to chaos when another contestant took her winner sash and accused her of being fake.

The annual Miss BumBum competition got founded in 2011 by entrepreneur and journalist Cacau Oliver and aims at finding the best female buttocks in Brazil.

The different states in the country are represented by 27 contestants with 15 women making it to the finals. The winning prize is 50,000 Brazilian Reals ($13,300) in endorsement deals and earns the winner instant celebrity status in Brazil.

For the first time this year two transgender women were accepted into the competition, and when a transgender won the competition it did not sit too well with some other contestants.

Shortly after the 31-year-old model and dancer, Ellen Santana got crowned Miss BumBum 2018, another contestant, Aline Uva from Rio Grande do Sul took the winner’s sash and could be heard accusing the winner of having a fake buttock.
