The beauty queen competition was canceled and this is the first time in history that Israel will not send an Israeli representative to the world competition. Lenore Abergil, who won the Miss Universe contest and has since repented, wrote her opinion on the matter on her Instagram account: “All morning I received calls about my opinion that the beauty contest was canceled, so I think this is the right place for me to respond,” she wrote and added a video of the moment she won .
“You see a girl with a crown on her head, happy, that in that moment her life has changed. And I see a sad girl who has just discovered that life is not so sweet, and is waiting for someone to notice that she is having a hard time, that she misses home, that the last thing she cares about is this competition, And that she was only here because she wanted to escape from everything!!! And it’s true that the world was different then, I don’t ignore it, but today we are no longer silent.”
“A woman is not a body or a face and no one in the world has the right to criticize us, or to assess our weight and see if it matches what is going on in the market. And make no mistake, I want my daughters to be beautiful and modest but only for themselves. That they will never feel that they are equal Only thanks to the way they look,” Abergil wrote and added at the end: “People change, the world changes, it is allowed to say we were wrong and move on.”
