Alicia Machado is making headlines again and it's not because of a new project, it's not because Donald Trump is attacking her, it's because she has attached herself to story that wasn't even hers to begin with. During last week Lili Estefan broke the news on "El Gordo y La Flaca" that she was starting the legal process of separating herself from her husband of 28 years.

After it was rumored that the breakup was due to an infidelity on Lorenzo Luaces part, Machado chimed in to make fun of the situation. "Oh poor thing," she wrote sarcastically on Instagram. She then questioned if Lili's husband had cheated on her with a man or a woman. Machado's comment went viral and people attacked her for her viciousness during a sensible time.

The former Miss Universe is now breaking her silence after all of the controversy writing on a new Instagram post: "My people, a reflection.Clearly my opinions have become the center of controversy where morals and good customs have become obsolete. There's no insult that I can't take, for the bitterness of many today more than ever I've become the voice of many important causes."

Many of the insults on social media were questioning the paternity of her child to which Machado added: "Until this day no one has accused me of any crimes, the subject about my daughter's father? With what right do many think they have to know that information that nobody cares about, but my child. So you can sleep, she was a product of love that I felt for a man that loved me and like many have gone through, I wasn't lucky, but my public position doesn't give me the right to create a circus around the life of my daughter. Until this day her father looks out for her, he was good to me and loves her and protects her."

"So relax because I will continue to be the way I am giving my best and yes, commenting on whatever I want but always with truth and respect. My respect is something people need to get and period. I am not asking for it, I work for it day by day and while the people that love me that know who I am and I'll continue to be life."

Alicia Machado seems to love to stir the pot, back in April she lashed out on Cristiano Ronaldo after he shared a picture of his family that he conceived via surrogacy. "Poor little ones," she wrote. "My position continues to be radical. Why do that with so many babies in his native Brasil that are dying of hunger and have no place to live. Kids are not mascots nor scientific experiments. Selfishness is so big that he goes out and make babies. The liberty of opinion." Note that Machado said Ronaldo was from Brasil, which is not correct as the Real Madrid star is from Portugal.

But Alicia did not stop there as she received backlash from her deplorable comments and she went on to write: "Vernacular machos always come out and bark, I didn't know where he was from. What I can see is the misery. #ADOPT is the best way to show the souls nobility. A group of machos barking. Kisses."
