The current Miss Universe 2022, R’Bonney Gabriel, continues to be highly criticized as experts and fans of the contest believe that the reigning title holder did not deserve to win. The Miss Universe organization is watching the accusations closely and it is being said that dethroning her is becoming a viable option.
Gabriel was crowned last January representing the U.S. but her reign was immediately thrown into question. There is a common sentiment among the public that the contest was rigged for the American contestant to win it from the beginning and it looks like this opinion has not changed since then.
Miss Universe recently embarked on a promotional tour in Asia but the public perception towards Gabriel has been underwhelming and the beauty queen had to cancel some of her appearances due to the low participation of the locals.
The situation has gotten so bad that even Anne Jakrajutatip, who is the current owner of the Miss Universe organization, had to release an official statement asking everyone to support the former Miss USA. However, this move was not well-received by the media as it supports the rumors that the contest was rigged from the start.
The organization is waiting for things to improve during the following months but there are concerns that if the reception of the winner does not change, they might lose some of the most highly valuable sponsors. This is why there have been talks about removing Gabriel from the Miss Universe position.
