Supermodel Jennifer Hawkins receives apology from Miss Universe Australia Scherri-Lee Biggs

Scherri-Lee Biggs has apologised to Jennifer Hawkins for her recent comments about plastic surgery. The 20-year-old Miss Universe Australia star, who is currently in Sao Paulo for the final of the international beauty pageant, reportedly said earlier this week that supermodel Hawkins had gone “that little bit too far” with cosmetic procedures.

Biggs has now made a public apology to Hawkins and insisted that her comments were “taken completely out of context”. She wrote on her Twitter page: “I just wanted to apologise to Jen Hawkins about today’s article. I never said that about her… and words were put in my mouth.

“Journalists are very sneaky and I think Jens (sic) an amazing, beautiful woman and I look up to her. I feel horrible… and am currently trying to get in contact with her management.”

Former Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch also commented on Hawkins’s appearance, saying that her face has “changed” since she won the beauty contest seven years ago.

“I’m not completely against plastic surgery,” Finch said. “I think that everyone makes their own personal decision, but I do believe Sherri-Lee is right when she says that natural beauty is best.”
