Vaimalama Chaves, a French singer and model, became Miss Tahiti in 2018 and then secured the title of Miss France a year later. She is the fourth representative of French Polynesia to win the title.
Miss France 2019 has taken to her Instagram to express outrage after she, according to her words, was "attacked" in Paris by a "gang" of teenagers.
"Dear women. Today I am angry. I am angry because I was assaulted", she said in one of her Instagram stories.
She asserted that one teenager threw a stone at her "for fun", but later she discovered herself surrounded by a crowd of some 15 young people who had "no values". Chaves also said that the teenagers were trying to steal her phone.
The model posted a clip where the youngsters are seen dispersing and trying to hide their faces.
Soutien à @vaimalamachaves, miss France 2019, agressée à Paris par des «jeunes» qui lui ont jeté des cailloux et ont tenté de lui voler son téléphone. Elle dit qu’au téléphone, la police ne l’a pas prise au sérieux. En France, il faut être morte pour être prise au sérieux. pic.twitter.com/9LpDaxsTEu
