Complaint Review: Virgelia Productions

Virgelia Productions, Inc., owner and producer of the Miss Asia USA Cultural Pageant offers this response to the published complaint #970499 submitted Saturday November 17, 2012, posted Saturday November 17, 2012 as reported by an Anonymous party: 



Though, many defamatory statements have been made in this complaint, Virgelia Productions, Inc., concluded an internal investigation and would follow with filing a law suit against the party and seek all legal remedies as permitted under the law. Certainly, this anonymous person has made reckless and irresponsible statements, and must be accountable for such defamatory statements.  The alleged factual basis for this anonymous complaint is wholly false and completely inaccurate.  Its falsity can be clearly demonstrated with independently verifiable facts.  First, the complaint was posted more than 12 hours prior to the start of the actual Cultural Pageant, secondly Armenia is considered to be part of the Asian Continent, something the anonymous individual failed to know or recognize, unfortunately there was no Armenia Delegate for this Pageant, and third the existence of uncorroborated hearsay that a judge would be bribed.  Here are the verifiable facts:  (i) No judge was identified as the recipient of a bribe, (ii) the Forensic Department of KPMG, one of the largest accounting firms in the world, is in independent control of the judge's scorecards and the tabulation of the scores and no one in the organization knows the scores until the envelopes are opened, (iii) all participating Delegates are introduced to the advisors, staff, vendors, consultants, etc., but at no time are required or obligated to engage their services or follow their advice or recommendations.  If you wish to verify any of these facts, please visit the Pageant's official website (www.missasiausa.org) or feel free to give us a call. 



Unfortunately, it is all too easy to defame hard-earned reputations with unsubstantiated, scurrilous rumors and innuendo through websites that unfortunately do not verify or are required to verify such complaints.  Some anonymous, disgruntled individual has sought to injure the excellent long-standing reputation of the Miss Asia USA organization with false allegations borne of cruel intentions.



Miss Asia USA Cultural Pageant will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2013.  Within the organization there continues to be a dedicated staff and group of volunteers made up of professionals that year after year are give the responsibility to administer, and carry out the Miss Asia USA Cultural Pageant from Delegate Recruitment, Delegate Pageant Training, i.e. walking, modeling, posing, photo shoos, Delegate participation in Beyon the Beauty Leadership Academy, Press Delegate Launching Fashion Show and lastly the culminating Cultural Pageant Competition Show.  Throughout this process of preparation, Dlegates and Queens, attend cultural, educational, networking, leadership, and community events as Ambassadors of Goodwill & Unity representing their country, in addition to moments of spotlight in selected "Fashion Shows" and/or "Red Carpet Events."
