After being called a "hypocrite" on Twitter by Donald Trump for keeping her crown, Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega begs to differ.
Vega is one of the latest public figures to "dump the Trump," after releasing an official statement bashing the businessman but defending The Miss Universe Organization. "I find Mr. Trump’s comments unjust and hurtful. As a Colombian and as Miss Universe, I want to show my support and validate the sentiments of the Latin community," she said last week. "The Miss Universe Organization works independently from its owners."
After receiving the memo, Trump took to Twitter to call the Colombian beauty a "hypocrite."
"The fact that I am not giving up my crown doesn't mean that I am changing my stance about everything I said," the 22-year-old crowned queen told Colombia's radio station La W. "It doesn't make any sense that Donald Trump calls me a hypocrite because I'm not giving up my crown."
The Barranquilla-born beauty, who will continue doing the organization's social work, also expressed that the the popular pageant existed many years before Mr. Trump took reign and it will continue to exist if he stops being its owner.
"I have kept doing my job as Miss Universe all these days. The work continues as always despite all this craziness going on," she said.
