In a phone interview[2] with the newspapers Première, she had been asked what she thought about the pageant winner (Leila Lopes, Miss Angola, she replied, "She was the only girl I didn't know very well. We didn't see her much; she was very discreet. She was often in jeans and not wearing makeup. We were all surprised by her win. Many girls made efforts that were not rewarded. I don't know, something is missing in her temperament. The fact that the competition was held in Brazil surely played a role." Because of this declaration, the Washington Post made an article considering her words as scandalous, "offering some nasty, sore loser, sour grapes, culturally imperious comments about Miss Angola".[3]
