Tania René Speaks Out Following Disqualification of Maëva Flota in Miss Universe Mauritius
A new controversy has emerged in the Miss Universe Mauritius 2025 edition following the disqualification of Maëva Flota, prompting a strong reaction from former titleholder Tania René. Taking to social media, René did not hold back in expressing her disappointment with the local organization responsible for managing the pageant. In a pointed statement, she referred to the handling of the situation as unprofessional and a waste of time for the candidates involved.
René later clarified that her criticism was directed specifically at the Miss Universe Mauritius organization and not the international Miss Universe Organization itself. This distinction is important, as the global Miss Universe brand remains separate from the operations of its national license holders. Her comments have since sparked widespread discussion among fans and pageant insiders alike, many of whom are now calling for greater accountability and professionalism in the national selection processes.
