A fresh controversy is brewing following the Miss Universe debacle regarding the selection of a delegate. The National Emblem Committee will be investigating the use of the country's Coat of Arms on a Miss Universe media release. The committee said it received no request from Miss Universe TT for permission to use the emblem on its media release. The franchise holder Jenny Douglas refused to comment on the matter when reached by CNC3.

Meanwhile, Soca artise Fay Ann Lyons-Alvarez has pulled out from assisting Miss Universe T&T delegate Yvonne Clarke.

Lyons-Alvarez wished Clarke success in the upcoming pageant, however the CEO of MIME Ltd said she will not be working with the delegate going forward.

She said when Clarke came to her she had nothing in place. Lyons-Alvarez said after putting a team together, Clarke decided to do her own thing and formed her own parallel team, a CNC3 report stated.
