Former Mexican Miss Universe, Ximena Navarrete; Miss Universe 1998, Wendy Fitzwilliam; the founder of O Skin Med Spa, Olivia Quido; American rapper and performer Big Freedia; the executive Sweta Patel; as well as the actress and journalist Emily Austinwere part of the jury in charge of choosing the representative of universal beauty, but the one who definitely received strong signals after her participation was the presenter Myrka Dellanos, For this reason, she even had to defend herself against those who assured that she sold her vote so that the native of Texas would win.
And it is that after naming R’Bonney Gabriel as Miss Universe 2023, the Telemundo presenter shared a series of photographs through her official Instagram account to congratulate who today is considered the new beauty ambassador.

As it was expected, Myrka Dellanos did not remain silent and immediately responded to those who pointed her out for allegedly selling her votearguing that the group of judges was made up of more people, so it was not the only one that evaluated the qualities of each of the participants.
“But ma’am, I only have one vote. There were 7 other people. I can’t speak about my personal vote, but you have to keep in mind that we are 8 people, not just one, ”she wrote on one occasion.
“We are 8 on the jury, I have one vote. Mathematics is a science and obviously mine is a vote. They must understand that ”, reads another message.
“There is no fraud, that is for sure. But there are 8 judges and they all vote or obviously each person votes in secret and has their own criteria. All the finalists were ready to be Miss Universe.” Myrka Dellanos
