Lisa Hanna Swimwear Photo Sparks Major Controversy
Minister of Youth and Culture – Lisa Hanna has sparked major controversy on various social media platforms after posting a picture of herself wearing swimwear on the beach.
The photo was taken by her son Alexander Panton after the Reggae Marathon in Westmoreland last week.
On one popular Facebook group – ‘Real Change for Jamaica – Discussion Forum’, the photo was posted with the question: Is this picture appropriate for a Minister of our government to post on her Public Page (LIKE PAGE) on Facebook?
Persons wasted no time to shared their opinions. Many offered compliments while others criticized her for posting the photo.
The post has already received well over 1000 replies.

Being a public figure should not rob one of using public amenities.
Why are some ppl so stereotypical ?
I think it’s borne out of envy.
Patrick Gore
Many of you read what you want to read. That picture was not posted on her private facebook page.
It is posted on the page created as her Public Page (LIKE PAGE) on Facebook? On that page, government policies are discussed. Her portfolio Ministry, and other Cabinet members’ Ministries, are linked to that page.
What makes such a picture appropriate on a page where government policies are being discussed? With the views I read here, is it any wonder our country is in the state it is?

Minister you’re stunningly beautiful. All the girls would like to b you and all the guys would love to be around you. You go girl…..power house
Edwin Walton
A little too revealing for a lady in her position, extremely beautiful no doubt but remember, she is the minister… and should be setting an example for the young ladies to look up to her.

What the big deal ,she is on her private time , allow her. We need to be concern about important things , too much talkers and not enough doers . The question we should be asking , what have I done for my country lately. I am going now it
I was about to write , it garbage day, I going to see if there is any to pick in my neighborhood to in my garbage can To help keep my community. Love Jamaica, blessings
The Minister has certainly made my Day,She is one of my favorite politician and I am hoping for her promotion soon!
Guess she should have worn a jeans and T-shirt..ssmh
Not because Lisa is in a high – end position she should be deprived of her happiness, if she feels comfortable in showing off her beautiful well put together figure, it should be nobody’s business. At least we know we have someone in high position who is of a “down to earth ” nature. I personally don’t think this should interfere with her public life as a Minister.
Next time, if there’s a next time, wear a long dress down to your toes…2014 soon 2015 and some grown ass folks are so ignorant.
its the beach for christ sake ! what do you wear on the beach not swim wear ? person are just so stupid and jealous
Leave the lady alone she is a human being also….. she is at the beach what uno want her to do wear pants kmt, tell uno bout these dumb jamaican every body need to enjoy there life.
Stunning,beautifull,gorgeous,love you lisa
Ms world lisa, u are happy, beautiful, live your life, let them talk.
Everybody seem to believe that she is a robot she is human too….. Very beautiful Miss World keep on shining and keep your body in good tone a grudge them grudge yuh!!!!
there are more at stake than a swimwear worn by the minister where politition is concern if that is such a big issue and the only one then Jamaica would be a better country
Jamaica has the most sexy parliamentarian in the world . I can not wait to see Sista P.
hey u all she has a life outside of politics-
i think all the members of parliament need to let their hair down and have some fun so that when they go in the house of parliament they will be more relaxed to deal with the problems of the country. some of thse who are making unfair comments w need to relax and live and stop exist. you go girl you look AWESOME.
Question. What should the woman be wearing on the beach? We need to get back to earth, and allow the woman to enjoy herself.
didn’t she parade in bathing suit in miss world competition?? just asking
Oh,please let the minster enjoy herself .Whats wrong with that ?
Leave her alone she is beautiful Jamaica people them must think about what going on in the country and stop the gossip whole fools I love canada oh god
thanks to her for showing what a healthy body should look like, …girls go to the gym.
Maybe she should have worn one of the suits she wears to parliament. Come on people,she is still human and deserves to have some time for herself. God I can’t believe we’re still living in the dark.
She is still my miss world woman of class should be happy we have her to represent Jamaica.best wishes lisa you represent us with grace and beauty
My mp you have what it takes tomorrow you go to the pool and enjoy yourself .Hard work and no play make Jack a dull boy .
I don’t see anything wrong with it, she’s still human, she has a life out side politics. Lisa live while you live!!!.
Go Lisa Go…Why wasn’t there complaints when you represented us @ Miss World Competition!!!
Mi like it, double standard human being we are, when she pose inna miss Jamaica and miss world in har swim suit reveal much more, smh so what the big deal now, plus she on her own time, unnu get a life and lo the Lisa cho!!!
them expect her to wear leotard to the beach… unnuh kir out. It is her life and body. grudge her for her sexyness
These assholes need to leave the woman alone…
bad mine a kill dem
OMG get over yourselves she is aloud to have her own private time no matter what she does for a living grow the hell up and get a life
Stunningly beautiful……she is at the beach not in office……..totally appropriate for the occasion…..inappropriate would be in a jacket suit at the beach……….all u haters that’s what people wear to the beach ….swimwear.
I wonder what the critics would say if she had worn a long dress to swimming.
So what should she be wearing PJs to the beach? Come on people!!!
Wonderful looking woman! Jamaicans don’t know what to complain about! They should speak about the reluctance of unscrupulous gas stAtion owners to lower the price of petrol commensurate with the declining prices on the international scene. They should complain about those who feel that they should breed uncontrollably and blame government and others for their severe poverty. There are so many things of significance to be complained about. Those who complain about this are envious of the woman’s beautifully designed body. I suggest the critics go get a life and a body…by what ever means necessary.
Good for tourism. Sell our beaches … natural beauty! And that promo saved the country a lot of money. Good work minister.
What a fat pum pum minister got.
Lisa Live, Love, Life and enjoy it to the fullest, we’re all humans and you should not be robbed! of anything because of your position. I love you my youth! minister your representing your youth! and the haters gonna hate hate hate but just shake them of and continue your work….Miss Hanna they have to talk about you, because if they talked about themselves no one would give a red cent.
She is a beautiful and smart lady who is serving her country. We all need some down time; and she at beach! for god sake ; with her son. Please give her a brake. This should not be a distraction from her effectiveness as a minister. She could be Jamaica’s future Prime Minister. Don’t forget she is past Miss World which she did not achieve by only having good looks and a great body. Go Miss Hana! stay focus on what’s matter to the people you serve.
So you negatives are telling me , the lady cant have fun because of government rules , at least she is expressing herself , do we knw wht the others are doing ? Lisa live your life your still beautiful .
Please leave this lady alone, Jamaica, please let’s talk about all the issues thats bringing down this country.
The Minister is on her private time.She is at the beach for godness sake. Sooo I guess she was to wear a skirt suit then!!!!! She is wearing suit and a t shirt. Get a life people cause the minister at the beach relaxing. Seriously come on!!!!!!!
the poor people them needs, helps..and u r all worrying about sum one on the beach,, might as well.. u all go…too..get a life..u bloke..people..my mom ded and u still critisuze..its a modern world..ok,,i guess she will wear her pj…ah..u all bak a days old fashion..mind set.listen she s not other female she s her self…that isn’t exposing..get off.

Go Lisa you look really nice,
I see nothing wrong it the beach lord why people cant live people alone
Leave the lady lady alone is you a lone beach make for
Every body need a little time out
Are you not grateful that as Jamaican our Minister can even now win Miss Universe if she want. Lisa you are a multi-task worker. You continue to be you. One thing after the beach we are expecting good governance; so you just enjoy yourself and relax.
She is at the beach. What’s the big deal show it off looking dam good
What should she do wear sweats on the beach in jamaica some of these ppl need to get a life.
I have one question to ask , don’t she have a private life to live ? People leave the woman and let her live her life as well
People just stupid and have nothing to talk about
Lisa certainly wasn’t dressed appropriately for the beach she shouldn’t be wearing a tee shirt to cover any part of her bathing suit
We Jamaicans have a way at using words to make purest of things into scandal and the most righteous of acts unrighteous just like the scribes and pharicees . so criticize all you want but that picture represents a small part of our Jamaicaness thank you minister for being proud of being a Jamaican woman no matter how esteemed you are .
Its not like she wears it to the office or in parliament. Lisa no business wey no body wa sey if u did have on a long dress they woulda still fine someting fi sey
I wonder who is objecting to this? Oh wait they are called “HATERS”. Nothing wrong with it and her wearing it. It will become a problem later if both men and women loom at her as if they know her. But rock it my gurl yu look good.
who do you think it is you-DUMMY?
I C nothing wrong with it she’s beautiful ‘she need a life behond politics nice 2 kn her son was enjoying the day with his mom Lisa cherish that moment
I think it’s inappropriate, she should not have been wearing a t-shirt and should have had her hair down lol :), some people really have time to waste. Luv ya Lisa.
Stunning! I wish I look that way when I’m her age. She’s so well put together; Now I can see how she became Miss World 21 years ago!!!
Looking good Minister Hanna 🙂
She on the beach and that’s the type of thing we wear on the beach, should she be wearing jacket and tie?…..let the woman live her life
she has life out of the office please
A same thing them do to jesus and he didn’t do anything wrong…Lisa if you wore a long dress they would still find things to talk…live your life
What a set of bad minded BITCHES WE ARE (REFERING TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN) The woman is obviously at the beach. She has the body to rock a bikini so why not??? She is not dressed like this in the House of Parliament, again She is at the friggin beach!! There was a comment about setting example?? Are you kidding me with this shit!!??? What bad example???? Girls in Jamaica should never try to look so damn good in a two piece bath suit????? Such rubbish!!!
We are so damn hypocritical!!! You put this lady in a room with anyone of these men and some of the women too and tape the conversation and then you will see if the old fart them woulnd not be trying to see what is under that bathing suit!! Set a friggin hypocrits!!
come on ppl she is at the beach wat must she wear??? a dress??? smh i think she need to loose tht t-shirt too!! looking great Madam Lisa one love!!! ppl need to mind there own business!! smh thts y JA na get noooo betta
You go Ms Hanna, You ROCK!!!! Show those old farts what a true beauty queen should look like. The Jamaica Tourist Board should use this picture.
Ministry, raise your child, do your job the best way you know, being true to who you are…………….Being happy, just rememeber a quote…………..MY FATHER DIDN’T TELL ME HOW TO LIVED, HE LIVED AND LET ME WATCH HIM DO IT…………….it goes for us mom too……………Blessings.
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give her a break she is certainly not in Parliament but at the beach omg……………
Flaunt it girl. Still looking good.
Lisa go put on clothes, where yuh thinks yuh at the beach?
Please remember that she being a woman is first and her position in life is second… her swimwear was not worn in the house of parliament.. it was on the beach!!! the woman is stunningly beautiful…this is the least of our problems here in Jamaica….face the bigger picture;…Kmt
No
Aren’t government ministers human beings? Nice pic by the way miss Hanna ! to say some people just badmind. We also have to take into consideration that once a beauty queen always a beauty queen. Snap out of making everything news worthy Jamaicans and go look something fi do . Tro man .
These r the time wh ppl like nurse, teacher, minister , police and Christian ect. Don’t dress like bk in the days anymore nw is all about the money they just drop it like it hot .
Dont hate just appreciate God’s beautiful creature and guess she is beautiful and sexy and is free to show what ever she wants. The main thing we are forgetting is that she is human first then Polition after. Big up uself Lisa, Love u Lots
Wel Lisa dress like that Dnt make a difference that the way she was on stage in front of the world when she won miss world a lepard never change is spot.
I guess a pant suit would have been best for the beach…. what how about the wedding dress princess Di wore ….what is wrong with people there are more pressing thing to talk about and to do and this is making headline
because she is a minister she must NOT HAVE FUN? OH PLEASE just get a life let her be
love the look lisa your are my jamaican queen you should go bear to dare let them see the full figure you are it looks like some peopls dont know that you are a beauty queen enjoy life while it worth oop pretty poo
There’s nothing wrong with this photo she’s human too. Why bring politics to social media isn’t Gordon House or wherever big enough?
she still have it
get off the damn girls case. she is on her private time. if i were in her shoes i would loose the damn shirt but at least she is cognizant of the fact to cover up some. i guess for some of u she should have worn jeans scarf and sweater to the beach.
Would you like to see her in a maxi dress on the beach or should the government and ministers of parliament buy a private beach that no-one else can go… pick your choice outameni dont have a beach….(LOL)
t
Nothing is wrong with her attire. It’s perfectly natural & she is perfectly beautiful.
Look what they choose to talk about hating on the fine lady for looking so fab after all these years ,we have so many other issues in Jamaica that needed tobe address ,lets talk about there is no proper disposal of garbage ,poor health care ,no jobs ect .Jamaicans our children ,children s are going to suffer under our silence .miss Lisa Hanna keep doing you live life to the fullest ,people gonna talk weather you doing Bad or good ,haters kmt .
nuting wrong with that,wat she suppose to wear to the beach then
Lisa Hanna to the WORLD she still has it! The media and ignorant people should find real stories to write about in Jamaica like how poor people a suffer – her outfit is right for the beach is which bad minded right dat hmmmm?
All of you, haters, out there, leave the woman, alone, there’s are better things to worry about.
Shame on you Lisa Hanna for not wearing an evening gown to the beach…
I cant believe dis!! She is a Minister of Government, she should be at the beach in pumps and suit!! And then when she jump in the water that way, they report that she tried to commit suicide!!! SMDH!! My only issue here @Lisahanna, call me to take some pro photos.. that would be nice for my portfolio 😀 #Lisahanna
I love her! She looks good for her age! WoW!
one person mention set example …i have never seen some one on the BEACH (if any one forgot) in the water with jeans and t-shirt its either 1piece ,2 piece or 3piece ..come on, be disgruntled if her portfolio work is in jeopardy due to the swim suit.. any one forgot she won miss world because of that body n this was b4 she became minister yet she was appointed …bunch of hypocrites
wait a minute so no other minister wears a bathing suit or is it because she is rocking it…Go minister
Just goes to show how proud her son is…..
What do you wear to the beach when you are a minister of government. A dress! Please give the lady a break
People need to be more open minded , i don’t see what the big fuss is all about ,that’s how we were first introduced to Lisa she was a model for crying out loud she made our nation proud by wear a swim suit
Plain and simple bad mind!!!the lady is at the beach and she is wearing a t-shirt which really wasn’t necessary but chose to…..i bet any money all a who a criticize har shape like horlicks bakkle
She’s human
What do you expect her to wear to the beach??? her Jacket suit?? She is not the only public figure that wears bikini on the beach..The late Princess Diana had swim wear photos of her published… what about the high profile hyprocrites at carnival road marches etc. Small minded people discuss small things…when there are greater things to talk about in the country
Lisa u set a trend longtime n I can say that’s total beauty, so eyes will always b on u miss Jamaica……….. Ur a tru woman that I’m sure of… Look at ur swim wear ur not even exposing to the public than any other….. U go baby. Do it again n again. Beauty is In the eyes of the beholders. Hats off to u once more.
Miss world have fun girl ,nothing is wrong jealous they are jealous.
I personally don’t see anything wrong with it what she does in her spear time shouldn’t be any one’s business, after all she’s human too and deserves to treat and express herself freely without being judge by anyone.
She became a Public in a bathing suit! We cheered when she was crowned “Miss World” and of course she did so in a bathing suit. There is nothing inappropriate about this photo! Furthermore, she was and still is a GREAT example for the young ladies to follow. Embrace who you are in every sense. (If this picture is link to your political page, please remove it and post it on as much platform, as you possible can. You are Woman, celebrate your beauty, confidence and grace…
nobody said anything when she had her beachwear on and won Ms World. We were all proud then, well she is a beautiful well figured woman and she nah dress like nuh muslim pon di beach as long as she nuh wear it on the campaign trail its all good
she should take the top off too
I thinks he looks great ,I don’t see anything wrong with the pic
Girl u a say 1 !!!!! exquisitely beautiful !!!! just tun up de ting an mek nager gwane labba dem mout till dem tong drop out !!!!!!! love u…..!!!!! gal u sweet like ackee nd saltfish !!!! Lol !!!!!!!!!!!
The next she must go topless
Remember she won Miss World, a coveted title many years ago. As a politician one would think with such a stressful job she would let her body go. I am thrilled to see she still has that figure and after all she represented the youth. Tell me something isn’t the human body the most beautiful thing? Look in the mirror you are ashamed of yours, aren’t you? You go one of my favourite beautiful person. Its the beach dammit.
yes I must agree ( good body or not ) it was inappropriate of her to have such a picture on her public profile , have you had a look at some of the attire worn to take some young kids to school these days- that office come with decorum.
