Naglabas ng sama ng loob ang Miss International Queen 2022 na si Fuschia Anne Ravena, matapos kinuha sa kaniya ang pagkakataon na maisuot ang korona sa kaniyang "final walk" sa coronation night ng MIQ Philippines 2023.
Nilinaw ng beauty queen sa pageant fans, na hindi totoo ang tsismis na naiwan niya ang MIQ Philippines' crown at inamin niyang nasaktan siya sa mga nangyari.
Aniya, "Let's start first with the lie that is being perpetuated online that I allegedly "forgot to bring the crown". I feel the need to clear this up not only because no one knows that despite the smiles, I was also deeply hurt that night - the night I was robbed of my last moment to wear the crown.
Sa kaniya, ang korona ay hindi lamang literal na isang korona, dahil aniya sumisimbolo ito ng kaniyang kwento at pagsisikap para manalo sa kompetisyon.

"God knows how I valued that crown so much. To some, it is just a piece of metal with stones but to me, it's beyond that. It sums up the value of my experiences, stories, and memories. So not being able to bid farewell properly was a painful experience. This isn't the first time I wasn't able to say goodbye properly to someone/something I value so much and no amount of love and time can ever fix that pain every single damn time," sey ni Fuschia.
Hiling naman ng transwoman beauty queen na sana binigyan siya ng pagkakataon na masuot ang korona at dagdag pa niya, ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa pageant history na walang suot na korona ang reyna sa kaniyang final walk.
Aniya, "I wish I was allowed to wear the Philippine crown that night - the only crown they insisted I bring to Manila. Unfortunately, as soon as I settled in the dressing room, they took it away from me. Not only did they take a crown, but they also took that special moment from me to wear it one last time on stage - the moment I was looking forward to all my life. Not once did you see me on stage with it on. The only time I was able to touch it was when I was crowned the new winner. As to why, I too don't know the answers. All I know is I can never bring that moment back again."
