Shae Parsons, Miss Earth New Zealand 2025, dropped out of international competitions, revealing a shocking 'secret'?

New Zealand beauty Shae Parsons has announced that she will withdraw from the Miss Earth 2025 competition without giving any reason. The organizers had to choose another beauty to replace her and make a new announcement.

On September 19, news from New Zealand caught the attention of the international beauty community when Miss Earth New Zealand 2025, Shae Parsons , officially announced her withdrawal from the Miss Earth 2025 arena. This decision was made just a few months after she was crowned and received much expectation. Although Shae Parsons' journey to conquer the international crown had ended, the domestic organizing committee quickly recommended India Holder, a beauty with impressive beauty and profile, to replace her position in this prestigious contest.

In a social media post, Shae Parsons expressed her regret at having to make this decision. She wrote: "After months of careful preparation and excitement to represent New Zealand in the Philippines , personal circumstances have changed and I will not be able to compete in the Miss Earth pageant this year." While this was not the outcome she had hoped for, Shae Parsons still cherishes the experience and affirms that she will continue her role with the title in her country. She shared that winning the Miss Earth New Zealand 2025 title has brought her significant recognition both domestically and internationally, opened up many new opportunities, and most importantly, created a solid platform for her to share her personal efforts in environmental protection.

Shae Parsons' profile is a rare bright spot, attracting admiration from the public. A graduate of Botany Downs High School, she continued her academic path and achieved a master's degree in Computer and Information Science with honors.

Shae Parsons is currently a technology consultant, specializing in data and artificial intelligence (AI). Her work focuses on researching and applying AI to support environmental restoration, including solutions to monitor deforestation, assess biodiversity loss, reduce energy waste, and improve climate forecasting. She is also an advisory board member of the New Zealand AI Forum, actively contributing to national discussions on responsible technology development, data ethics, and AI inclusion.

After Shae Parsons withdrew, the Miss Earth New Zealand organizers announced that the beauty India Holder will be the new face representing the country at Miss Earth 2025. India Holder, 26 years old, is known as a professional model and currently holds the position of executive assistant to the CEO of Zone Global. She is a former student of Auckland University of Technology. India Holder has a sweet appearance with attractive blue eyes and a charming body, receiving enthusiastic support from the audience. Many people believe that she will be a potential candidate, following the success of her predecessor Angela Marie Rowson, who excellently entered the top 20 of Miss Earth last year, bringing pride to New Zealand.

Shae Parsons’ decision is not an isolated case at Miss Earth 2025. Over the past six months, the competition has seen many contestants withdraw from the race. For example, the title of Miss Earth Puerto Rico 2025 changed hands twice in a short period of time, and Japanese beauty Emilia Shimanouchi also withdrew from the competition before the final night. This shows the challenges that beauty pageants are facing.

The Miss Earth 2025 pageant is scheduled to take place in the Philippines in November, starting on November 5. The reigning beauty queen is Jessica Lane from Australia. Vietnam's representative at this year's arena is runner-up Trinh My Anh.
