Diane Leyre criticized live on television over her failure at Miss Universe: her blunt response

As tradition dictates, the first runner-up to Miss France participates in Miss World while Miss France herself participates in the Miss Universe competition, considered more prestigious. The 2023 edition of the famous beauty contest was held on the night of November 18 to 19, in El Salvador and 84 radiant candidates competed to win the coveted crown and sash.

Diane Leyre, Miss France 2022 therefore worked hard and represented France brilliantly, she who was also lucky enough to have her friend Iris Mittenaere (Miss France 2016 and Miss Universe 2016) on the jury of the competition this year. Unfortunately, the pretty brunette did not manage to stand out and did not even manage to reach the top 20. It was ultimately Sheynnis Palacios, Miss Nicaragua who was elected after several hours of ceremony.

Diane responds to criticism over her failure at Miss Universe 2023

The day after her failure, the beauty queen tries to explain her failure. This Wednesday, November 22, 2023, it’s on the set of the show Do not touch My TV that she tried to give some answers. “I was put on make-up by the teams on site with micellar water. I am allergic to it. They wanted to remove my make-up to redo my make-up, and so it got in my eye” she declared to justify her time on stage which, according to Internet users, was not energetic enough.

Miss France 2022 who heard the criticisms of columnist Jacques Cardoze who, two days ago had affirmed that “this is not an excuse”, wanted to respond to him directly. “I looked at what was said on the show. I heard that apparently a disability in the eye does not prevent one from walking. I dare you: put on six-inch heels, in a swimsuit, with one eye missing, and I’ll watch you on stage“.

Not enough to convince the journalist who had also highlighted Diane Leyre’s lack of balance and agility during the competition this weekend.
