Beauty Queen Loses Crown because “She doesn’t like cameras”

Published

on

Kristhielee Caride, Miss Puerto Rico 2016 has lost her crown just four months after winning it and also the beauty queen lost her chance to compete in the Miss Universe pageant because of a “terrible attitude.”

The trouble started when Puerto Rican paper El Nuevo Día published an interview with the newly crowned victor on Monday. The headline “Miss Puerto Rico 2016 Sick Of Cameras and Interviews” ran above a photo of Kristhielee flipping through her phone while at an event at a local mall where she was supposed to meet with the public.
The Miss Puerto Rico profile openly questioned the role she won in 2016 as they spoke about how she was extremely cold with the audience and, in general, not seen behaving in a beauty queen-like manner. The article described her as “bored.”

Yet one particular statement in particular is causing waves in the island’s pageant world. In front of 1995 winner and current Miss Puerto 2016 director Desirée Lowry, Caride committed the ultimate sin for a person with her title when asked why she appeared nervous.

“It’s because I don’t like cameras.”

The reporter wasn’t taking this for an answer from a contestant who had won Miss Puerto Rico 2016, a highly watched televised event, just a few months before.

“But you seemed to like them before?”

When pressed further about what she had been up to since claiming the Miss Puerto Rico crown, Kristhielee said that she was still doing a lot of the same things, such as taking English classes and taking a few courses of her own. The journalist noted in the accompanying text that they had to cut the tape a few times before they finally got an answer out of her.
The criticisms didn’t stop there. It seemed that none of Miss Puerto Rico’s answers satisfied the journalists. They seemed especially shocked that the drama student was still trying to live her normal life, visiting homes and going to auditions. They asked: “But don’t people recognize you in the street now?”

“On occasion people have recognized me, but other times they keep confusing me with Zuleyka Rivera. It doesn’t bother me, but it happens. I’m happy as I am, I don’t see the need to change my style just because I look a bit like someone else.”

Ending the interview, the piece noted that the only time that Miss Puerto Rico really seemed that engaged was when she was talking about an upcoming play she was going to be in: Hay motín compañeras.
Miss Puerto Rico 2016 certainly had the beautiful part down, but was she smart enough in front of the cameras to retain her crown?
While later discussing the public relations disaster, Lowry said that it was not the only time they had issues with the newest Miss Puerto Rico. After the disastrous interview, she missed several other events due to a doctor’s appointment before they finally decided to drop her especially after watching how she interacted with the press from afar, reported The Telegraph.

“I wanted the earth to swallow me. 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.”

Even though Kristhielee is starting off 2016 no longer titled Miss Puerto Rico, the shamed beauty queen defended herself admirably on Facebook. Caride said that while she disagreed with the judge’s decisions, she had let a bad day manifest itself in front of people and hoped it has not tarnished anyone else’s reputation.

“I want to express mi sincere apologies to every one of my fans, especially those who have supported me since my first moment, my team and Miss Universe Puerto Rico. It was never my intention to ruin, hurt or damage the image of the people who have helped me to get where I am today.”

Kristhielee Caride has already passed on her Miss Puerto 2016 crown to Brenda Jimenez, who will be competing in the Miss Universe pageant later this year.

Why would you post pictures in your underwear? – Portable out calls Tiwa Savage

Nigerian singer Portable has raked reactions on social media after calling Tiwa Savage out for posting pictures in her underwear at 40 years old.

During his recent TikTok live stream, Portable, who is known for his outspoken personality, questioned the appropriateness of Tiwa’s posts, particularly given her status as a mother and her age.

“I’ve noticed something; someone needs to talk to Tiwa Savage, please. Tell her to calm down o. I’ve been listening to her music since I was small now I’m a father and mummy Tiwa savage is still posting pictures in her underwear. Only panties? Is it good for a mum to post pictures in her underwear?”

Despite his criticism, Portable admitted Tiwa Savage appeals to him, describing her as a “bad girl” who has maintained her appeal since her younger years.

“E dey enter my eye, make I no lie. The day I met Tiwa Savage and I hugged her, it felt like I hugged a mermaid and was being swept away. But someone should tell her to calm down with the naked outfits.”

In between hysterical laughter, the singer added, “Tiwa Savage, I swear to God, you’re appealing to me. you’ve been bad since you were 19 and you’re still a bad girl at 40, you’re still wearing panties at 40.”

His remarks sparked reactions from social media users, with some slamming him and others expressing their support for his views.

An outraged Instagram user asked, “What level of disrespect is this?”

“I actually don’t think he means any harm. He’s just not emotionally intelligent. So he lacks the methodology to communicate his message appropriately. He’s basically saying Tiwa’s dress sense is becoming ‘fighting temptation’ in a nutshell,” another person wrote.

Another comment read, “He should be shut.up..Tiwa savage is an entertainer…if nicki minaj did the same u would not talk.”

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

Published

By

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”

Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has accused Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, his twin brother, over alleged intellectual property theft.

Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ — a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer exists.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Rudeboy claimed that the song was his, arguing that it was supposed to feature in his forthcoming album. He also alleged the producer hijacked the track.

“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day,” he wrote.

“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”

In another post, the singer vowed to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.

“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.
