Andrea Meza reacts to criticism from Fátima Bosch against beauty pageants. Andrea Meza joined in the response and reacted in the same TV space, where she recognized Bosch's attempt to clarify her words but also pointed out areas for improvement, especially in the work of the Miss Universe organization. 'I understand that sometimes you get nervous or feel attacked by a question... she doesn't have strong support to help her in these situations,' she declared. 'I believe in God and He put me here because it depends on the person wearing the crown to fulfill the purpose given, if you have an important project and want to give it visibility, if you see this platform as a purpose, then go ahead,' she expressed. Subsequently, the beauty queen softened her stance by stating that she does not encourage girls to participate without first having a clear project: 'After that you can do the right things to have a focus and be heard, seen.' She also criticized that these pageants are not used to 'a real woman': 'For me it has been difficult since my victory, they look for a different woman, this process has scared me, but I am still here.' Finally, Fátima Bosch clarified her intention: 'My intention was never to devalue this path, I highlight the following: it requires preparation, temperament, emotional intelligence and a deep purpose.' Lupita Jones responds to Fátima Bosch's statements. The reactions were not long in coming. Lupita Jones, the first Mexican to win the pageant, asked the current queen to 'watch her words.' Bosch's statements sparked a new controversy after the Tabasco native stated at a conference that she would not recommend participating in beauty pageants, which drew criticism from former Mexican winners of the competition. The controversy adds to a series of conflicts that have surrounded the current Miss Universe since her time as a candidate. Among them are the clash with Nawat Itsaragrisil, as well as allegations of alleged fraud in the final made by former Miss Universe jurors, and questions about her family's relationship with Raúl Rocha Cantú, who is accused of being responsible for the crime of fuel trafficking. What did Fátima Bosch say about beauty pageants? During a conference in El Salvador, Bosch surprised by stating that she would not advise getting into this type of pageant, despite being the current Miss Universe, one of the most important internationally: 'I am sincere and I would not advise it, as I have told you before, I had not planned to enter.'
