R’Bonney Gabriel became the new Miss Universe 2023 on Saturday, at the 71st edition since the pageant was first held.
The 28-year-old fashion designer, who represents the United States, won the crown in a tightly contested competition that has been trailed by controversy.
After the announcement of R’Bonney Gabriel’s victory, many on social networks have risen up en masse against the judges’ decision and have even claimed that the contest was fixed, as they opined that the winner should have been the Venezuelan Amanda Dudamel, who finished as first runner-up.
