Apologies to Miss Unwired August 24, 2007

Following a post on my Saturday night adventure at the Hibiscus Festival and a mention of one of the contestants, Miss Unwired Joann Whippy, trying to get into Traps, John Pollock, Unwired Fiji boss, clarified in a comment and to me personally that she was NOT trying to get into the nightclub as I alleged.

So in the interest of fairness, I retract the sentence at the bottom of this post referring to Miss Unwired and apologise for the mistake.

I had spotted somebody who was the spitting image of Miss Whippy but I was wrong. The full response from Pollock, explaining Miss Unwired’s location on the night in question is here. Below is an extract.

As her sponsor we were extremely concerned with your comments in the article and have since investigated your claim. At the time you were suggesting she was trying to get into Traps she was in fact with a member of the Hibiscus committee in her hotel room after attending the event at Albert Park; this can be confirmed.
These girls commit their time and raise money for charity at their own expense and for a worthy cause. Your cruel attack is unwarranted and should be followed by a retraction and apology.
