In an interview on Joy FM, shared on social media on February 21, 2026, Otuteye spoke about the emotional distress the cyberbullying had caused her. Explaining what triggered her decision, she revealed that shortly after the online trolling began, the organisers called her and asked her to return her sash and crown. “Apparently, the international organisation said they had received emails from some concerned individuals who claimed that I did not meet their standards for the international pageant. Following these events, Otuteye has sued the event organisers and is scheduled to appear before the court on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. Meanwhile, the organisers of Miss Intercontinental Ghana are yet to respond directly to the allegations.
