Miss Mexico Axed For Weight Gain

Ugh.

Cynthia De La Vega, the model who was crowned Miss Mexico at the Nuestra Belleza Mundo pageant has been stripped of her title for gaining weight – a whopping six pounds.

Organizers of the pageant claimed that she had a “lack of dedication and discipline,” but the 19-year-old insists it was strictly because of her weight gain. She describes how she felt when she found out she was no longer Miss Mexico:

“I was very sad and very deceived. I cried and cried and cried.”

Her coach allegedly gave her a specific diet plan via email, which consisted of “the same food during the same month.”

We understand that pageant organizers would want Miss Mexico to stay fit and healthy, but firing her for gaining six pounds seems a bit extreme.
