Miss Palestine Nadeen Ayoub has alleged that voting for a fan-favorite category on the Miss Universe app was manipulated, causing the category to close early without declaring a winner.
In a video statement and social media post, Ayoub emphasized that her concerns were “not about the award,” but about “questioning injustice and the system.”
Ayoub was competing in the “Most Beautiful People” category and claimed she was leading by a significant margin just minutes before the scheduled closing time. She also shared screenshots appearing to show her firmly in first place.
