Less than two months after being crowned Mr Gay World 2021, South Africa’s Louw Breytenbach has returned the title, claiming that the pageant’s contract is “unconstitutional and opaque”.
The competition’s organisers, however, have denied both his claims and his account of what happened. In a sensational statement issued by his representative, Breytenbach said he’d refused to sign the contract offered to him by the organisers after he was crowned at the end of October which led to “a back and forth legal battle”.
Breytenbach, who describes himself as a TV presenter and actor, said that, as a result, his relationship with the pageant executives had deteriorated over the last few months.
