Kristhielee Caride, Miss Puerto Rico 2016 will
not be receiving her $3 Million earnings and her crown after a
judge threw out the lawsuit that she filed in April alleging breach of
contract and contractual damages.
According to Desiree Lowry, the national
director of Miss Universe Puerto Rico, Caride got pregnant during her reign,
was non-cooperative with reporters and did not use the salon that they provided
instead preferring to use her own stylists which led the organizers to dethrone
her and crown Brenda Jimenez, the pageant's first runner-up as Miss
Universe Puerto Rico 2016.
Judge Eduardo Rebollo stated in his ruling that
Caride's behavior violated the terms of her contract with PR Crown
Entertainment. "Her dismissal was justified and does not merit the
restitution of her title as Miss Puerto Rico in the international beauty
pageant of Miss Universe," Rebollo said, according to Telemundo.
Caride's lawyer said, "This wasn't a
surprise for me, rights and justice don't always prevail in a trial. From my
point of view, I am not surprised by Rebollo's decision. It is an erroneous,
wrong decision."
