The video captures the moment the husband rushed onto the stage to snatch the crown and smash it in front of the audience. The reason is said to be because he was upset when his wife only came in second in the competition.

Specifically, at the Miss Gay Mato Grosso 2023 pageant held on May 27, Emannuelly Belini, representing the city of Várzea Grande, was crowned Miss. Just as the crown was about to be placed on Belini’s head, the husband of runner-up Nathally Becker, representing the city of Cuiaba, rushed onto the stage, grabbed the prize and threw it hard on the floor.

Not satisfied, the man, whose identity has not been made public, repeated the vandalism again, shattering the crown, according to local news site Globo. The furious husband tried to pull Becker off the stage, but pageant security quickly intervened, dragging him backstage to the amazement of the audience.

After the incident, Malone Haenisch, the organizer of the Miss Gay Mato Grosso pageant, declared that the judges were completely impartial in deciding to award the title to Emannuelly Belini and condemned the violent behavior of runner-up Nathally Becker’s husband.

“The troublemaker was not satisfied with the results and caused this inconvenience and damage. We strongly condemn the stage invasion and the aggressive destruction of the crown,” said the event organizer. Haenisch added: “We reaffirm the judges’ choice and support the new beauty queen, as well as Becker, because she should not be held responsible for the crazy attitude of a third party.”

The organizers said that the competition’s legal team had been notified of the incident and that necessary legal action would be taken due to this disruptive act.

“The organizers of the Miss Gay Mato Grosso pageant congratulate Varzea Grande representative Emannuelly Belini, who was elected as the winner on the night of May 27. We send our best wishes and hope that the new beauty queen will have a brilliant tenure, while spreading the voice and wishes of the LGBTQIAP community,” said a statement released after the pageant.

The chaos at the beauty pageant in Brazil reminded many people of the brawl that broke out after the first Miss Sri Lanka pageant in New York City (USA) in April 2021. In addition, there was also the incident of controversy that erupted after R’Bonney Gabriel, a representative of Texas, was crowned Miss USA 2022 through “cheating”, according to the New York Post.

Specifically, in April 2021, Pushpika De Silva was named the winner of the Mrs. Sri Lanka 2020 pageant held on April 4. However, Pushpika De Silva only enjoyed this overwhelming joy for a few short minutes before Caroline Jurie – the winner of the 2019 pageant and the current Mrs. World – took the stage to protest.

The previous beauty queen said that the winner did not meet the rules of the pageant: divorced women cannot be crowned. Caroline Jurie then snatched the crown from the new beauty queen’s head and handed it to the first runner-up. This unexpected and awkward situation forced De Silva to leave the stage.

After the shocking incident during the coronation moment, Pushpika De Silva said she suffered a head injury when Caroline Jurie violently snatched the crown.

Caroline Jurie was later arrested for allegedly snatching the crown from the new beauty queen, injuring her. According to sources, the new beauty queen wanted a public apology to avoid taking the matter to court, but Caroline Jurie refused. “I can forgive, but I will not forget,” De Silva said.

In October 2022, another controversy related to the Miss USA pageant occurred when many contestants of the Miss USA 2022 pageant were upset by the victory of R’Bonney Gabriel, the representative of Texas. According to the New York Post, Gabriel’s victory in Miss USA (Miss USA 2022) did not convince the audience. Contestants in the pageant also spoke out, saying that the representative of Texas did not deserve the crown and that there was cheating.

According to the record in the final night on October 3, when Gabriel was crowned, the remaining 50 contestants quickly left the stage, instead of congratulating the new Miss. This raised suspicions that Gabriel bought the award, using the back door. The new Miss USA later denied the accusations, the queen then went on to fight and was excellently crowned Miss Universe 2022.
