The controversial and much talked about dethronement of Kristhielee Caride Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 finally has a verdict now. Caride lost her Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 crown in March and was replaced by the first runner-up Brenda Jimenez for the upcoming Miss Universe pageant. Though Caride apologised at first stating that the beauty queens have their bad days, she was dethroned nonetheless.

During the final verdict on Tuesday, the judge dismissed a $3 million lawsuit filed by Caride. Superior Court Judge Eduardo Rebollo said in his ruling that Kristhielee Caride's behaviour violated the terms of her contract with PR Crown Entertainment and the company was within its rights to sever the relationship. "Her dismissal was justified," Rebollo claimed.

Rebollo mentioned several incidents that justified his verdict, which included Caride's refusal to have her hair colour or style altered; a newspaper interview in which she gave only terse answers to questions and said she did not love cameras; and her failure to appear on a local TV entertainment program because she said traffic made it too hard to reach the studio.

At trial, Caride defended her decision and accused salon employees of being disrespectful.

"I'm not going to a place where I'm not wanted," she said. "I'm not going to a place where they are constantly rubbing in my face the Miss Universe candidate from San Juan. It's not my fault that girl didn't win."

According to the judgement, a shoe sponsor also refused to work with Caride because they considered her a "risk" given her behaviour, according to testimony.

However, Caride’s attorney, Ernie Caban stated on Twitter that the ruling was biased against Caride because of her social status. "Power prevails over the limitations of a queen from a public housing complex," he wrote.
