Things can change in the blink of an eye, especially in a world where every action can easily be surveilled by the internet. Nowadays, people can easily be exposed for their bad actions and be called out for it.
Such is the case for the newly crowned Miss Universe, Victoria Kjær Theilvig, who has found herself at the center of a global controversy. The Danish beauty queen's moment of triumph has been overshadowed by a viral video that has sparked outrage and a heated debate about race, representation, and the responsibilities of public figures.
Theilvig won the 73rd Miss Universe as Denmark’s representative last November 16. Her triumph was perceived as a win for the “anti-woke”, following the competition permitting married, plus-sized, and transgender contestants to participate.
The video in question, which has circulated rapidly across social media platforms, shows Theilvig at the iconic Empire State Building, singing along to Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind. The issue arises when she nonchalantly utters the N-word, a racial slur with a long and painful history of oppression and racism.
The backlash was swift and severe, with netizens calling for Theilvig to issue an apology and for the Miss Universe organization to revoke her title. This incident has not only tarnished Theilvig's image but has also raised questions about the values and judgment of someone who is supposed to represent global inclusivity and understanding.
As the controversy unfolds, the Miss Universe organization and Theilvig herself have remained silent, leaving many to wonder if the incident will be swept under the rug. This silence is particularly notable given the organization's recent ownership change and the new CEO's controversial statements on diversity and inclusion.
Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, the first trans woman to fully own the Miss Universe organization, has been criticized for leaked comments suggesting that while diverse contestants are welcome to compete, they are not expected to win.
Jakrajutatip stated, “The trans women, the women with husbands, divorced women… This is a communication strategy, because, you understand… they can compete, but they cannot win. We just put the policy out there. Social inclusion, as people would say.” This stance, coupled with the current scandal, has led to a broader discussion about the pageant's commitment to social inclusion and the authenticity of its messaging.
This year, the Miss Universe competition saw a return to more traditional roots, as a straight woman took home the crown. This shift to the usual Western beauty standards sparked mixed comments online.
