Miss Universe Contestant Disqualified Over Alleged Hotel Visit

Italy Mora, representing Panama, was expelled from the pageant after an incident involving her boyfriend's hotel room in Mexico City.

Italy Mora, the 19-year-old Miss Universe contestant from Panama, was disqualified following a reported unauthorized visit to her boyfriend's hotel room.
The Miss Universe organization conducted an 'exhaustive evaluation' and cited a 'personal error' for her removal, but did not provide specific details.
Mora claimed her disqualification stemmed from a dispute with Miss Universe Panama Director César Anel Rodríguez over financial and organizational issues.
Mora's boyfriend, Juan Abadía, reportedly covered her pageant expenses, including a $7,000 dress, due to alleged neglect by the pageant organizers.
Despite Mora's efforts to contest the decision, the Miss Universe organization upheld her disqualification, and Panama will not send a replacement contestant.
