The organization Miss Universe Cuba issued an official statement on Tuesday refuting a supposed comment by Marianela Ancheta regarding the historical exile in Miami.
The comment emerged during the program on Monday, January 6, hosted by Alexander Otaola, and comes from a social media account under the name @misscuba, which has no connection to the beauty pageant organization or the young woman.
"On one leg they ran away, the true culprits of why Cuba is in its current state. We were born in a Cuba that is more than finished because they did not know how to defend it," states the comment supporting a post that attacks the historical exile.
"The I220A looking like those from the historic exile in 1960 who fled Cuba at the first chance without saying a word, while we took to the streets on July 11 to protest for those who didn't have the guts," says this post that arose from the controversy surrounding Bebeshito's concert in Miami.
In its press release, Miss Universe Cuba clarifies that “it does not take responsibility for content issued from UNOFFICIAL sources that may affect the morals and integrity of its talents. We clarify that only the content published on our official social media @missuniversecuba has our approval and support.”
The document also includes the official accounts of the current Miss Universe Cuba 2024, Marianela Ancheta: "Any other page, profile, or publication that uses her image without authorization is not legitimate and has not been approved by her or our organization."
"We urge everyone to act responsibly and ethically, always verifying sources before issuing or sharing information. Any violation in this regard will be subject to the relevant legal actions," states the statement.
Alexander Otaola, following this comment, launched an attack against Marianela Ancheta on his show, questioning her for her lack of political stance during the Miss Universe competition and for this disrespectful comment, allegedly attributed to her.
