These beauty pagents are getting out hand, first the Miss USA Tara Connors scandal now this...
The new Miss Puerto Rico swelled up with hives after someone allegedly doused her evening gown and makeup with pepper spray. The Village Voice's Michael Musto talks about the controversy.
Pepper spray failed to deter Ingrid Marie Rivera, who beat 29 rivals to become the island’s 2008 Miss Universe contestant.
Pageant organizers said they hope to catch and expose whoever was responsible for dousing Rivera’s evening gowns with pepper spray and spiking her makeup, causing her to break out in hives.
However, organizers said they are handling the investigation and police aren’t involved.
Rivera was composed while appearing before cameras and judges throughout the competition. But once backstage, she had to strip off her clothes and apply ice bags to her face and body, which swelled and broke out in hives twice.
