Bui Quynh Hoa admits to being a victim of cyber violence in her Miss Universe profile
In her application to participate in Miss Universe 2023, Vietnamese representative Bui Quynh Hoa admitted that she was a victim of cyber violence.
In early November, Bui Quynh Hoa officially left for El Salvador to attend the Miss Universe 2023 contest. In recent days, the beauty has been actively participating in Miss Universe contest activities such as meetings, introductions and photo shoots according to the Organizing Committee's plan.
Recently, the content of Bui Quynh Hoa's profile sent to the Miss Universe 2023 Organizing Committee was revealed on social media and became a topic of debate. Accordingly, in addition to information about her name, hometown, career, achievements, and projects, the Vietnamese representative revealed the story of cyber violence after being crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2023.
In the section "What else do you want the judges to know?", Bui Quynh Hoa shared: "I faced cyber violence after being crowned Miss Universe Vietnam. There was a campaign of anger and attacks orchestrated against me. To overcome it, I had to remind myself of the efforts I put in and the difficulties I had to face to achieve success. I want to continue to contribute to becoming an inspiration, spreading positivity and spreading love."
The information about cyber violence and being attacked by a carefully orchestrated campaign in Bui Quynh Hoa's post quickly received mixed reactions from the public.
After being crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2023, the beauty became the center of controversy on forums, caught up in suspicions of buying the award and noisy images in the past. This information caused the Miss Universe organization to start investigating and verifying the transparency of the award of Miss Universe Vietnam 2023.
In early November, the Miss Universe Vietnam organization announced that the Miss Universe organization had reached an official conclusion after verifying Bui Quynh Hoa's title. Accordingly, the beauty will still represent Vietnam in the Miss Universe 2023 contest and leave Vietnam for El Salvador.
Bui Quynh Hoa (born in 1998) graduated from the University of Business and Technology. The beauty has participated in many domestic beauty contests and was crowned International Supermodel 2022 in Thailand.
At the Miss Universe 2023 pageant, Bui Quynh Hoa faced a very strong and professional group of contestants. On the rankings of Global Beauties, Sash Factor and Crown Talk, the Vietnamese representative did not make it to the top predicted list.
The most promising candidates up to now are representatives from Thailand, Philippines, Venezuela, France, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, India... Missosology ranked Quynh Hoa 12th in the final Top 20.
After nearly a week of competing, Bui Quynh Hoa's performance has not really stood out despite her efforts to join in and adapt to the environment. Foreign language is considered a limitation of the Vietnamese representative.
During the audience interaction and media interview within the framework of the contest, Bui Quynh Hoa gave an interview to local media in English. The clip was shared on many beauty forums and caused a stir in the online community.
The beauty said she felt excited to go to El Salvador to compete in Miss Universe 2023 and received a warm welcome from the audience. The beauty was also impressed with the people, beaches, and food here. She added that when she returns to Vietnam, she will share about the friendliness of the people of El Salvador.
The Miss Universe 2023 pageant will take place in El Salvador from November 2 and the final will take place on November 18. According to information from the Organizing Committee, this year's pageant has 86 contestants registered to participate.
The Miss Universe 2023 pageant is also open to contestants who have been married, had children, and are transgender. Colombia and Guatemala have attracted attention by choosing representatives who have given birth and are married. Meanwhile, the representative of the Netherlands is transgender.
A representative of the Miss Universe 2023 organization said that this year's contest will operate quite similar to the old version. Accordingly, the beauties will go through sub-contests and sideline activities before participating in the semi-final and final night.
The contestant who wins the vote for the contestant who is most loved by the audience will have the opportunity to go straight to the Top 11. The 3 contestants who make it to the Top 3 will be determined as Miss, 1st Runner-up and 2nd Runner-up after the behavioral round.
The current Miss Universe title holder is American R'Bonney Gabriel. She will hand over the crown to her successor at the finale on November 18.
Before Bui Quynh Hoa, the Vietnamese representative at the Miss Universe 2022 contest was beauty Nguyen Thi Ngoc Chau. She left "empty-handed" even though Ngoc Chau had previously received great support and expectations from domestic audiences.
