Anya Ayoung Chee, the former beauty queen at the centre of a sex tape scandal, fired her New York publicist Mike Paul yesterday for ’misrepresenting her thoughts on the motives’ behind the release of the tape.

Speaking only through e-mail correspondence, the former Miss Trinidad and Tobago/Universe said Paul misrepresented her on two separate counts and that her thoughts were not in keeping with the information on the gossip website TMZ.

The international gossip site said Ayoung Chee’s photographer boyfriend, Wyatt Gallery, claimed ’intentional malice’ and aims of ’sabotage’ were behind the fast circulation of the sex tape.

’At this time I have not decided how to proceed. Once I decide, I will let you know,’ she said via e-mail, TV6 reported last night.
