Lucy Maino best know as the Papua New Guinean footballer and beauty pageant titleholder, but now graced the media headlines for her Twerking video, Lucy shared a video on TikTok of herself dancing but this led to backlash and abuse in the comments.
Also, she was stripped of her crown after it was brought to the attention of the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant PNG (MPIP PNG) committee. Miss PNG Pacific Islands’ official Facebook page released a statement which reads “The Miss Pacific Islands Pageant PNG (MPIP PNG) Committee would like to announce that Miss Papua New Guinea 2019 Lucy Maino has now been released from her duties.”
However, Lucy took to Instagram and wrote “May you embrace your most raw and unapologetic self. Each of you a Queen & King. Know your worth! Your life on this earth is a blessing to many. Make the most of it. It’s too short to be unhappy and stressed.”
Lucy Maino already deleted her Twerking video but it has been downloaded and re-shared on several platforms, after she was stripped down from her duties by the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant PNG (MPIP PNG) committee many criticized this decision. The governor of East Sepik and co-chair of the Coalition of Parliamentarians against Gender-Based Violence, Allan Bird said “What kind of society condemns the torture and killing of women yet get upset when a young woman does a dance video?.”
A former Miss PNG said “I am sure if a male public figure did a TikTok video, we would all be laughing or even praising him,” and a women’s advocate said “The committee could have handled it better by first outlining the clause that she breached as a reigning queen … I feel that they threw her under the bus and didn’t give her a chance to come out and talk. That is not the way to go.”

It’s pushed me into becoming a better person. Football is more than a physical game, it’s a mental game. Through football, I was able to finish my education. That’s why I stand strong and continue to do my best in empowering women in sports through education. There are many women and men who’ve had that same opportunity that I had.

The fact that we can’t travel internationally to visit friends and family, the cancellation of large events that are held annually, it can be a number of things. We all have our own struggles that we face. Maybe it’s a relationship with a loved one, how this pandemic has tested that relationship. Maybe it’s school, and how it’s been on and off and throwing you off. Whatever it may be, I want to encourage you to “keep going.” I always believe that we are never put in situations where God knows we can’t handle them. That realization alone makes me realize the strength the Lord has instilled in me and in everyone as well. While my battles may not be the same as yours, I’m here for you ☺️ If there’s someone or a couple of people that you trust, it’s always nice to share and support one another. Better yet, give them a big hug and let them know that better days are ahead. Trust in the Lord and his plans that he has for you!! Ps, this photo was taken at the end of our gold medal match during the 2015 Pacific Games where we won and defended the gold medal on home soil.”
