Mexican model Cynthia de la Vega confirmed her dismissal as director of Miss Universe Mexico and clarified why it happened just five months after her appointment.
“In life, I highly value the importance of making decisions that make us feel good, mainly about ourselves and the people we love. Because of this and because they have always accompanied me throughout my career, I make this statement.”
“With deep sadness and gratitude, I announce the official separation of my person from the position of National Director of Miss Universe Mexico, this due to various changes that have arisen within the organization with respect to what was initially proposed to me and that “contrasts with my personal principles and values,” he began in his press release.

The Mexican model hinted that she made the decision, because she went through a “process of deep personal and family reflection.” This does not mean that she is happy, on the contrary, I assured that she feels sad for abandoning the project before seeing it realized.
“I assumed the position of National Director of Miss Universe Mexico with great commitment and passion, and I immediately enjoyed this experience, contributing all my ideas and knowledge in the field with the new organization that is venturing into completely new terrain for them.” , he continued.
She also thanked all the people who worked with her during the last five months (the duration of her period as director of the beauty pageant) and recognized their contributions to the organization.

“In a special way, I want to express my most sincere gratitude to all the participants, those who trusted me and have registered so far in the call that I launched in recent days, and of course, to the fans who give strength to the beauty pageants (…) I thank all the media and the general public for their support during my administration.”
And she ended by distancing herself from any decision by Miss Universe Mexico made since last Thursday, May 2, the day she stopped being director of the organization at the national level.
The former director of Miss Universe Mexico made a publication on her Instagram stories that has divided opinions on social networks. And she boasted of her friendship with Osmel Sousa, advisor president of Miss Universe and who would have made the decision to dismiss Cynthia de la Vega.

“I can’t deny the pleasure it gives me… SORRY BUT I AM TEAM QUEEN MOTHER FOREVER. Thank you my beautiful queen @elsaburgossiller,” she wrote.
It should be remembered that there has been a conflict between both models for approximately a decade, when Jones supposedly left Cynthia de la Vega out of a contest because she did not comply with the guidelines.
