Yara Naoum, Miss Universe 2008 candidate from Egypt, allegedly slapped Miss Universe 2007 Japanese titleholder Riyo Mori, when the latter accidently stepped on the former's dress during the rehearsals for Miss Universe 2008 finals.
That gossip has been relayed by Miss Japan pageant directot Ines Ligron via her blog.
According to Ines, who has been physically following the pageant, Miss Egypt was horrified when she learned she has just slapped the reigning Miss Universe.
The Egyptian beauty then immediately apologized and explained she didn't know it was Riyo. (Still not a good reason.)
Just wondering. Even if it's not Riyo Mori's reign, she can't get away from controversies like this. Remember her issue with Miss Philippines Anna Theresa Licaros last year?
Ines also blogs about Miss Egypt's problem with Miss Canada Samantha Tajik.
Miss Egypt is a real pain in the neck; she slapped Riyo backstage when by mistake she stepped on her dress. Then she was horrified when she realized she just had slapped Miss Universe! LOL She was saying –“I am sorry I did not know that it was you!!”… Riyo told her: “it is okay, but you should not do that anyway to anyone, this is not really nice”. She was mortified.
Also she shares the room with is Canada and she smokes cigarettes after cigarettes and Miss Canada asked her kindly to pls go outside when she wishes to smoke. She turned around and said: “why? This is MY room?!” Nice girl indeed! Sometimes I wonder why this kind of girl bothers to come here…. Hiroko and Sun adore their respective roommates, they were lucky with Miss Ireland and El Salvador because they are the sweetest girls.
