Personality is everything, and it seems even the most beautiful people can’t win with a bad attitude.
Supposedly, this is true for Kristhielee Caride, who was named Miss Puerto Rico in November and was set to compete in the Miss Universe Pageant. Due to a “bad attitude,” pageant officials felt that it would be best to strip her of her crown.
The claims of the beauty queen’s attitude problem are the result of a newspaper interview she did where she apparently complained and mentioned how much she hated being on camera. Unfortunately for her, the national director of Miss Universe Puerto Rico just happened to be present, and Caride’s behavior didn’t look too good. There’s nothing like bad timing.
“You always have to put your best face forward…it’s a given that we are going to be in front of cameras and that we have to answer all types of questions,” said Desiree Lowry, the Miss Universe national director, in response to the situation.
On top of the botched interview, Caride never apologized and then missed further scheduled appearances because of doctor appointments. Â
Still, she turned in her crown with dignity and apologized to her supporters on Facebook, saying that “beauty queens are not exempt from having a bad day.”Â
