Butler's Beauties, the company that sponsors the pageant, said in a Facebook page statement that they were also "led to believe that she was dealing with this horrible disease" and are making her return her crown and sash.

"I'm doing OK. I'm still going through treatment. I've had two treatments so far. I have four more to go," Weaver-Gates told the Centre County Gazette in May.

A Pennsylvania beauty queen has been stripped of her title and jailed on charges that she faked having leukemia to raise thousands of dollars from fundraisers.

"When you deceive the public and take people's money that is under the pretense of fraud, we will not tolerate those actions," the statement read. "Our hearts go out to those affected by cancer and to those who were taken advantage of by Miss Weaver-Gates.".

Weaver-Gates told people that she was receiving treatment at various facilities and produced an apparent medical bill from Johns Hopkins, police say. The bill was found to be fake and none of the facilities recalled giving her treatment, a police investigation revealed.

The department said in a statement that Weaver-Gates was allegedly diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in March 2013, and since then, many fundraisers have been held to benefit her.
