Nakatanggap ng suporta mula sa pageant fans si Miss Universe 2025 4th runner-up Olivia Yace ng Côte d’Ivoire, matapos niyang mapagdesisyunang magbitiw bilang Miss Universe Africa and Oceania.
Kaugnay ito sa pagkilala ng Miss Universe Organization (MUO) kina Olivia Yace ng Côte d’Ivoire bilang Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, Julia Ann Cluett ng Malta bilang Miss Universe Europe & Middle East, Zhaona Zena ng China bilang Miss Universe Asia, at Stephany Abasali ng Venezuela bilang Miss Universe Americas.
Sa ibinahaging social media post ni Olivia noong Lunes, Nobyembre 24, sinabi niyang siya ay mananatiling tapat sa kaniyang pagpapahalaga at mga prinsipyo, kaugnay sa kaniyang desisyon na bitiwan ang nasabing pagkilala.
“As the representative of Côte d’Ivoire at the Miss Universe 2025 competition in Bangkok, I witnessed firsthand that I was capable of accomplishing great things despite adversity. But to continue on this path, I must remain true to my values: respect, dignity, excellence, and equal opportunity the strongest pillars that guide me,” panimula ni Olivia.
“With a heart full of gratitude and profound respect, I hereby announce my resignation from the title of Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, as well as from any future affiliation with the Miss Universe Committee,” pagpapatuloy niya.
“Throughout my journey as an ambassador and beauty queen, I have served with commitment, resilience, discipline and determination. However, to fully reach my potential, I must remain firmly anchored in my values guiding principles that paved the way towards excellence,” saad pa niya.
Ibinahagi niya rin na ang pinakahiling niya ay magsilbing “role model” para sa bagong henerasyon, lalo na sa mga batang babae, at yakapin ang kanilang pagkakakilanlan.
“As I started on stage, my greatest wish is to be a role model for the new generation, especially young girls. I encourage them to push their limits, to walk confidently in rooms where they believe they do not belong, and to proudly embrace their identity. It is this commitment to being a positive influence that guides my decision today. Stepping away from this diminished role of Miss Universe Africa and Oceania will allow me to dedicate myself fully to defending the values I hold dear,” saad ni Olivia.
“I call upon Black, African, Caribbean, American, and Afro-descendant communities: continue entering spaces where you are not expected. Let us open the way for the brothers and sisters who will follow us. Never let anyone define who we are or limit our potential. Our presence matters, and our voices must be heard,” aniya pa.
Iniabot niya rin ang pagbati niya kay Miss Universe 2025 Fatima Bosch, at ang pagmamalasakit para kay Miss Universe Jamaica Gabrielle Henry matapos itong maaksidente habang isinasagawa ang evening gown competition ng Miss Universe 2025 preliminaries kamakailan.
“I am deeply grateful for the support I have received and for the unforgettable experiences that have shaped me. I will now continue my journey differently, with the same determination to uplift and inspire. Thank you to all those who have been part of this exceptional adventure. Let us continue to defend our values and strive for greatness together. IT’S TIME FOR AFRICA. With love and respect, Olivia Manuela Yace,” pagtatapos ni Olivia.
