Catriona Gray Addresses Speculations
Miss Universe 2018, Catriona Gray, has recently taken a stand against ongoing rumors regarding a supposed feud with fellow titleholder Pia Wurtzbach, who was crowned Miss Universe in 2015. In a statement aimed at curbing the rampant speculation, Gray urged the public to refrain from pitting beauty queens against each other and suggest that animosity exists within their ranks.
Fostering Support Among Titleholders
Gray highlighted the importance of solidarity among past Miss Universe winners, stating that while they may not frequently express their sentiments in public, they consistently support one another behind closed doors. She emphasized that social media interactions, such as a lack of ‘likes’ on posts, shouldn’t form the basis for creating misleading narratives about rivalries.
A Timeline of Success
Catriona Gray’s journey to the Miss Universe crown began with her victory as Miss World Philippines in 2016, where she captured the attention of many by placing in the top five at the Miss World pageant. After her Miss Universe success in 2018, speculation about rivalry with Pia Wurtzbach has surfaced repeatedly, suggesting that Wurtzbach felt ‘threatened’ by Gray’s accomplishments. However, both women share a common goal of promoting beauty with a purpose, inspiring countless individuals around the world.
