Mexican politician Giselle Arellano, 39, made headlines for her promotional ads where she modeled in skimpy lingerie. Her rivals then made "misogynistic" accusations that she was call girl, or rather a Las Vegas "escort girl."

Arellano, who lives in Las Vegas, says these claims cost her the congressional primary in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.

"This is an abhorrent injustice," Arellano told CNN Mexico in an interview. "They are judging me, without having even listened to me."

She failed to get the nomination of Mexico's conservative National Action Party (PAN). The seat she ran for in the Zacatecas government is reserved for politicians who emigrate abroad.

She wants the election annulled, claiming she could not compete equally because she was "slandered" by her rivals.
