Most beauty pageant contestants aspirations in life is to end world hunger and of course world peace. But of course, just like everything else in Philly we like to go on our own rout. Brandi Lee Weaver-Gates, Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International, has elegantly been faking cancer in an elaborate scheme that raised thousands of dollars.
Weaver-Gates led everyone to believe she had been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2013. Well, comes to find out, she took part in fundraisers to pay for her treatments, and the most recent event raised $14,000.
Weaver-Gates is being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility after she was charged with felony counts of theft by deception and receiving stolen property. The pageant is taking the news seriously, too, pulling her Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International title.
BYE FELICIA!
