OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian regulator said on Wednesday it will impose a fee on Google to recover the cost of enforcing a law that requires large internet platforms to pay for news content on their websites.

“Paula kept telling Anne that MUO can have a say in who makes it out of prelims but has no say in what the judges do at the finals. Anne kept insisting she could do something, part of the reason Paula left she kept telling Anne that she refused to be a part of any of those scenarios where something would not be fair or ethical,” shared White, 1994 Miss Oregon USA and now a public relations practitioner handling high-profile athletes and celebrities.

She also shared that Jakrajutatip screamed in anger at then-MUO CEO Amy Emmerich before the post-coronation press conference because Porsild did not win. In 2024, the Thai business leader sold half of the organisation, and shared co-ownership with the Legacy Holdings Group headed by Mexican magnate Raul Rocha. Their first full collaborative edition was the most recent staging in Mexico, which was profusely panned online for the lack of activities and the lacklustre coronation show.

She continued: “If Miss Universe does not address these issues and remove Laylah, the cycle will continue. The responsibility lies with Miss Universe and its leadership, who have failed to act. I urge everyone to write to Raul and Anne, emphasising that this IS a Miss Universe problem that needs immediate attention.”

Denise White is a sports crisis strategist credited for paving the way for women to enter male-dominated sports. In 2023, she was chosen as one of the judges of the Miss Universe pageant which crowned Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua as titleholder in the competition held in El Salvador. White, however, clarified that even though Porsild advanced to the final round of the competition, their judging was never compromised, and the members of the selection committee carried out their duty fairly.

Shugart delivered a valedictory speech during the coronation show in El Salvador, enumerating her “legacy” in the organisation, embracing inclusivity by allowing trans women to participate as early as 2012, for married women and mothers to participate starting in 2022, and for lifting the maximum age limit in 2023.
