Media personality Grace Msalame might be heading to court soon after Ministry of Tourism in Uganda used her photo to promote a\u00a0curvy ladies’ event.<\/p>\n

Msalame took to Twitter to share that\u00a0MissCurvyUganda2019 has used her photo to promote the pageant\u00a0without her consent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take great exception to the fact that my image and likeness are being used to propagate, disseminate and encourage the objectification of women\u2019s bodies. I do not endorse or agree with such a message,\u201d her statement read.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Women who are blessed<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The law suit comes just days after Uganda announced that it’s planning to use it’s curvy women as a tourist attraction.\u00a0According to Tourism Minister Godfrey Kiwanda, the country has well endowed women and the nation plans to capitalize on that.<\/p>\n

Grace, however, doesn’t understand why they have used her image if that’s so.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Curvy Uganda\u2019s deliberate and calculated use of my image and likeliness to promote and encourage violation of women\u2019s bodies has defamed my character and reputation, damaged a brand I have worked for many years to establish, and subjected me to unwarranted and undeserved cyber bullying,” she went on.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
