If you watched the finale of Miss USA 2016 held on June 5’ 2016, you must have noticed few things. Not just the crowning of Deshauna Barber as the winner of Miss USA 2016 but also an awkward moment that occurred during the Question and Answer round of the finale. Yes, you got it!! We are talking about Nadia Grace’s response to the question asked about how she would solve one of society's many problems.
The 20-years-old stunning daughter of ‘Rico Suave’ rapper Gerardo tripped while answering a question about how to solve economic inequality. It was the Q&A round of the Top 5 finalists of Miss USA 2016, and Nadia was asked by the fashion photographer and Miss USA judge Nigel Barker: “One of the biggest challenges facing the United States is social and economic inequality. How do we narrow the gap between the rich and poor?”

Since there were only 30 seconds to answer the question, standing in a flowing tangerine gown, the full-time model paused for nearly five seconds and answered, “When it comes to social and economic inequality, I think that the rich and the poor need to stop being so segregated. I think there is a middle class. I think that the rich need to… (pause).... I think the rich need to be able to be giving and the poor need to work hard and I think the middle class needs to work hard and find an in-between.”

Now Nadia may not know about the economy and what could be done to curb the disparity, but she sure knows how to laugh at herself. As soon as Nadia tripped during the Q&A of Miss USA 2016, she was widely mocked on social media.
Mejia answered her critics on Instagram, writing that she was praying to God for the right words and he answered, 'It'll take longer than 30 seconds to answer that babe.' She also posted a video of her singing 'I don't know about the economy' to the tune of the Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way.

Mejia made it to the Top 5 finalists but couldn’t make it to the Top 3 list as she failed during the Q&A round. Her fall did come as a surprise since she was previously voted the fan favourite. What is your take on this whole incident? And what do you think of Nadia’s response? We think it takes guts to poke fun at your own self, and Nadia has proved that she is a beauty queen, with or without the crown!!
