The decision came following a number of correspondences between pageant officials and Nguyen in which the pageant tried to receive confirmation that Nguyen would be able to attend Mrs. World 2017.

Nguyen, upset that director and Mrs. Vietnam World 2015, Kelly Tran, would be unable to attend Mrs. World in South Africa in December and feeling as though she was not receiving adequate support, did not respond or confirm her attendance at Mrs. World by the given November 2 deadline.

After being informed she was being replaced, Nguyen posted on social media about the Mrs. Vietnam pageant. Feeling her negative post was in further violation of her contract, pageant officials decided to move forward with their decision to replace her.

According to pageant director, Kelly Tran “Bullying other pageant queen, disrespect the organization and negative posting on Social Media is unacceptable because once you’re a title holder, you are a role model and a brand ambassador; therefore you must be very careful on what you can and can’t do on Social Media.”
Pageant official will send their first runner up, Hana Hanh Tran to fill Bao Ngoc’s shoes and to represent Vietnam at the Mrs. World pageant in South Africa next month.
