A Thai beauty queen was dethroned when her explicit OnlyFans videos emerged - just a day after she won a pageant.

Suphannee Noinonthong, 27, had won more than 500,000 Baht (11,580 GBP) worth of prizes along with lucrative modelling jobs from the beauty contest on September 20.

But she was stripped of the Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan 2026 title as clips from her old account - which she claimed to have used to make money to pay for her sick mother's hospital treatment - spread online.

Videos showed the beauty queen touching herself in the shower. Other clips featured her playing on her bed with a sex toy and dancing in front of the camera while wearing pink see-through lingerie.

The disgraced model was removed by the pageant committee the next day. She recorded a tearful apology and admitted it was her in the videos and said she had only briefly used OnlyFans model to earn money for her struggling family.

Speaking through tears, she said: 'I admit that I really did take nude photos. But I did it pay for treatment for my sick mother, who has now passed away.'

Suphannee said that her mother had been battling cancer while her younger sister was pregnant. Her father had died when she was in school, leaving her the sole income earner in the family.

She added she had worked as a street food vendor, waitress, and bar girl, before finding success as an OnlyFans model. The job, she continued, gave her enough money to support her family through the pandemic.

She said: 'Someone invited me to do it. It was called OnlyFans, right at the beginning of the pandemic. I would like to emphasise that I did it because it brought in a lot of money. I could use it to treat my mother, pay off my house, and pay off my car.'

Producing and participating in pornography is illegal in Thailand, though lax enforcement has allowed amateur porn stars to proliferate in the country.

Suphannee claimed that online gambling sites had used her sex videos to promote their websites without her consent. She insisted she was not involved in illegal gambling and would take legal action against the perpetrators.

The disgraced beauty queen pleaded for another chance to prove herself in the entertainment industry.

She said: 'You can't choose how you're born. I might have taken the wrong path, but I have the right to choose a new one.'

Before her removal, Suphannee was set to compete with 76 other candidates from other Thai provinces for the national contest on March 2026. The winner will then represent Thailand at the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant.

In a statement, the organisers said: 'Miss Suphannee Noinonthong, the incumbent Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan 2026, was found to have engaged in certain behaviours that did not align with the spirit and principles that the pageant adheres to. Therefore, it is necessary to terminate her role as Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan 2026, effective immediately.

'The pageant committee expresses its sincere regret and apologies to the public, sponsors, and all parties involved for not thoroughly investigating from the outset, leading to this disturbing incident.'
