Following a series of controversial statements, Miss Universe Argentina Magalí Benejam has been stripped of her crown.
In a live YouTube broadcast with content creator King Lucho, Benejam, who placed 12th, alleged that the competition was rigged when Miss Denmark Victoria Kjaer Theilvig won in November.
“When they announced the top five, I saw the judges looking at each other in [strange] ways,” she said. “They started looking at each other as if to say, ‘This is not what we chose, this is not what I chose.’ That’s what it felt like from the outside, and that’s where I said, ‘Ok, this is fixed.’ It was always fixed, every year.”
Benejam went on to complain about a number of other contestants, from disparaging remarks about their outfits to complaints about the supposed “attitude” she received from Miss Dominican Republic Celinee Santos and Miss Puerto Rico Jennifer Colón.
