“ I want to tell Lupita that it is a pleasure not only to be part of this event, to conduct this event, but to be next to a woman who has done as much for so many years as a warrior for these women, for these teenagers, that you have formed a wonderful spectacular discipline that many times obviously we need, and thank you for this opportunity Lupita dear.”

The next day of her complaint, Lupita Jones made a live broadcast where she appeared with her work team and new contestants talking not only about Sofia, but ensuring that she knew what foot each of those who had passed through her organization was limping on.

“I know where they all come from and what foot they’re on, from the drug addict, the alcoholic,” said the director. In the same transmission he talked about the case of Sofia Aragon and the traumas with which he arrived at his office. “Sofia came tearing her veins, dragged, without bathing to the office.”
The next day, he made another video in which he apologized for showing herself as “an aggressive, violent, compassion and lacking sorority woman” towards the women who have integrated her contest.

Since then, testimonies have come out from other former contestants who have talked about the atmosphere at the event, including Cynthia de la Vega and Denisse Franco.

Shortly before the competition, Sofia shared a statement signed by former beauty queens (without specifying the names), asking to “raise our voice and unite so that we stop this kind of abuses.”
