In the final of Miss Universe Cuba 2025, it wasn't just the crowns, dresses, and catwalks that stole the show. There were also several highly discussed (and viral) moments from the night, such as the one involving Indiana Williams, representative of Havana, which left everyone speechless and posed a lingering question: Did she really say that?
Everything began with a simple question: "Tell me a Cuban word that has been difficult for you to explain to foreigners." Indiana, with complete confidence, responded: "It's a somewhat controversial word, but it starts with ‘p’ and everyone wants to know why we use it so much..." And even though she never said it, the audience didn't need any more clues.
The phrase was enough to set the social media ablaze. The verdict was almost unanimous: it was excessive. Some criticized her for daring to suggest a vulgar word in that context; others defended her for being authentic and spontaneous. What started as a simple response ended up becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
And as with any good Cuban event, humor was a must. Content creator Kenny Robert was among the first to launch a parody that went viral on social media. "You model better than anyone," they wrote him, amidst laughter. Then came Carnota, who also stepped up and gathered some of the most surprising responses from the competition, including, of course, the now-famous “word with P.” The result: thousands of reactions and a new wave of digital laughter.
Meanwhile, Lina Luaces, daughter of Lili Estefan, was crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2025, taking over from Marianela Ancheta after an impeccable performance, with eloquent answers and great elegance on stage.
