Iris Mittenaere, the Miss Universe 2023 judge, disclosed that Michelle Dee, the bet from the Philippines, was one of her Top 5 picks.
In a comment on Iris’ Instagram picture, someone asked about the deleted Miss Universe article in which Michelle—rather than Miss Thailand—was listed in the Top 5.
“We know you love us too much, and the Philippines loves you too.” I’m not against the judges, the girls, or the winners, but could you please comment on the popular post made by @missuniversosv during the Top 5 announcement? Why was the Philippines removed from the version? It was asked by Iris.
Then, Iris declared that the voting was “fair and legal,” adding that Michelle had placed among her Top 5.
