The shock of being eliminated from Miss Universe and suspicions of a rigged "trap".

Appearing on television with host Franklin Robinson on the afternoon of January 22nd, Italy Mora spoke for the first time about the horrific memory of being eliminated from the world's biggest beauty pageant last year. Once considered a strong contender from the Americas, Italy's unexpected exit from the competition immediately after receiving her sash in Mexico left a huge question mark for the public. The Miss Universe organizers at the time only gave a vague reason of "violating rules" and kept it completely confidential, inadvertently plunging her into a wave of fierce criticism from the online community.

Italy Mora burst into tears as she recalled the moment : "I did leave my room, but not for the trivial reasons people are speculating. It felt like a trap had been set." This powerful statement from the beauty queen has led the public to question the transparency of the competition that year. She asserted that the information claiming she had a conflict with her roommate or left to meet her boyfriend was completely false. Italy's statement implicitly suggests she may have been a victim of power struggles or a deliberate arrangement to eliminate a strong competitor from the race for the crown.

Prolonged Depression and the Journey of Rediscovering Identity in Vietnam

The consequences of the incident extended beyond her career, severely damaging the mental health of the 19-year-old beauty. Italy admitted that she suffered from severe depression for months, seeking help from mental health professionals to overcome feelings of failure and the relentless attacks from social media. " Social media is not a joke. Before judging, listen to the story of the person involved," she shared tearfully. The hasty judgment of the Panamanian media, suggesting she was "given a way out" thanks to her relationship with drug lord Osmel Sousa, only deepened her pain.

However, life opened a new chapter for Italy Mora when she was appointed Miss Cosmo Panama 2025. Competing in Vietnam, Italy quickly became a living example of the saying "a phoenix rising from the ashes." With her radiant beauty and unwavering friendliness, she captured the hearts of Vietnamese fans. Audiences in Vietnam affectionately gave her the Vietnamese nickname "Ngọc Ý" (Ngọc Ý). Although she only reached the Top 5 of Miss Cosmo 2025, for many, Italy Mora is the "most beautiful woman" because of her strength and resilience in overcoming injustice and hardship.

A wake-up call for the international beauty industry.

Italy Mora's journey from being eliminated as a "culprit" at Miss Universe to reaching the Top 5 at Miss Cosmo is a testament to resilience. Her courage in speaking out against the "trap" in Mexico not only reclaimed her honor but also served as a warning about the dark side of beauty pageants. Now, "Ngoc Y" has found her smile again in Vietnam, ready to continue her journey towards a brighter and fairer future after the injustices she endured at the age of 19.
