New York: Miss Russia 1998 and former Miss Universe semifinalist Anna Malova was arrested in New York for shoplifting in a clothing store, a media report said.
Malova, 39, was caught stealing a pair of sandals worth $135 and a hat worth $10 at a Strawberry store in New York, RIA Novosti reported citing the New York Post.
Malova was arrested and charged with criminal possession of stolen property. She is due to attend a court hearing May 24. The former beauty queen was previously arrested in February 2010 on charges of illegal drugs possession, forgery and impersonating a physician.
Malova was a Top 10 finalist in the Miss Universe 1998 pageant held in Hawaii.
This woman is an embarrassment to pageantry. She was a Phoney Twit at the ’98 Miss Univ; she is a Phoney Twit now. Wasn’t she the one who latched herself onto Miss PR, Joyce Giraud, to get hearself in the most number of photos possible?
Isn’t Wendy Fitzwilliam a laywer? Maybe she can represent Anna in court as her attorney.
It is indeed a disgrace. Can she sink any lower?
JUST HUMAN LIKE YOU AND ME!
She placed 10th in Miss Universe 1998. Such a honour at that time, but what happened now?
She was a doctor in Russia, but not licensed to practice in the States! It’s easy to figure out. Some reports said so!
I hope her interview skills have greatly improved since 1998. She’ll need all the rhetoric she can conjure up when she’s on the witness stand!
impersonating a physician? but she was introduced as a medical doctor when she was called as one of the top ten in the miss universe 1998..that means she really is a physician!
@hello,
The phrase “impersonating a physician” is different from “impersonating as a physician”. This article is correct.
bringing such a bad name to russia
