As soon as this video related to Miss Universe got leaked, there was a ruckus, people got angry over cheap things like women’s figure

What is the whole matter?

In November last year, Anne Jakapong Jakarajutatip was heard saying that ‘trans women, married women, divorced women… it is a communication strategy, because you understand… they can compete but they cannot win. It is social inclusion, as people would say.’ Furthering her point, she said that women from ‘non-traditional backgrounds’ cannot win. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @annejkn.official)

This ruckus has happened before

All this happened when ‘Miss USA’ Noelia Voigt and ‘Miss Teen USA’ Umasofia Srivastava had earlier left their posts. According to the report, they had cited harassment and bullying as well as harmful workplace as the reason for doing so. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @noeliavoigt, @umasofias)

Told the video to be false

Jakarjutatip called his/her video fake and said that ‘this malicious, edited video went out and was used to mislead other people, causing confusion, misunderstanding and wrong conclusions. I hope the world will not like this kind of nonsense soap opera.’

She further said, ‘I still don’t understand why this man, with whom I used to behave very well, wants to put me and the organization in danger, while we were talking about the episode of the new reality show and not about the pageant.’ (Photo courtesy: Instagram @annejkn.official)

This trans woman was the winner

In 2018, Miss Spain Angela Ponce became the first transgender contestant to win the title of Miss Universe Organization. After this, in 2023, Miss Guatemala Michelle Kohan and Miss Camila Avella also participated in the competition for the first time. Let us tell you that during the 72nd Miss Universe competition, Miss Nepal Jane Deepika Great was the first plus-size participant to come on stage. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @angelaponceofficial)
