Miss Universe Panama Contestant Expelled Over Alleged Unauthorized Visit to Boyfriend’s Room
Miss Universe contestant Italy Mora, representing Panama, has been disqualified from the upcoming pageant after reportedly visiting her boyfriend’s hotel room without authorization.
Originally set to compete on Nov. 16 in Mexico City, the 19-year-old’s pageant journey ended following an “exhaustive evaluation” by the Miss Universe disciplinary commission, though specifics of her exit were not detailed.
Rumors suggest Mora had joined her boyfriend, Juan Abadía, without approval. Mora, however, claimed her departure stemmed from a dispute with Miss Universe Panama Director César Anel Rodríguez over inadequate organizational support.
Abadía added that he came to Mexico to assist Mora with needs including lodging and a $7,000 Carolina Herrera dress.
Despite her attempts to reverse the decision, Mora ultimately accepted responsibility, acknowledging the impact on her reputation.
Miss Universe organizers cited the importance of fairness and transparency for all candidates. Panama will not send a replacement contestant.
