Tension Rises As Drama Unfolds Between Former Contestants Over Social Etiquette Comment

A recent social media exchange between Magali Benejam and Jennifer Colón has drawn attention within the pageantry community. The situation began when Magali posted a lighthearted but pointed comment reflecting on a recent event where she and other women were tired, sick, and reportedly intoxicated. Despite their condition, she emphasized that “education is never lost,” ending the post with emojis and the abbreviation “iykyk” (if you know, you know). While humorous in tone, the comment appeared to carry a subtle jab—one that did not go unnoticed.

Shortly after, Jennifer Colón responded directly to Magali, expressing confusion over her apparent frustration. Jennifer began by stating that she initially did not intend to respond, but felt the need to clarify the situation. She asserted that, aside from education, empathy is equally important. Jennifer described herself as someone who is consistently kind and friendly with everyone, including Magali. 

Jennifer addressed Magali’s claim that she didn’t greet her during the final days of their shared experience. She challenged this narrative, explaining that on the rare occasions they interacted, she was cordial. She also clarified that during those final days, she had just been released from the hospital and likely didn’t hear Magali greet her. Jennifer mentioned she had already addressed this in a previous interview with Luchio1985. In response to a question from King Lucho regarding her expressions during that time, Jennifer stated that any perceived coldness was probably due to her medication or her overall physical state.


She continued by acknowledging that others, including Magali, may have had a different perception of the situation. However, Jennifer took issue with being publicly accused of lacking manners or education, particularly when she had already provided context during the interview. She emphasized that her behavior at the time was not reflective of her usual conduct and reiterated that she maintains positive relationships with other delegates from the same event to this day.

Jennifer concluded her comment with a reminder about empathy and understanding, encouraging thoughtful reflection. The hashtag #foodforthought and peace sign emoji closed her message, signaling a desire for resolution rather than ongoing conflict.


The interaction has sparked a broader conversation among fans and insiders about assumptions, communication, and how quickly misunderstandings can escalate online—especially within close-knit circles like the pageant world.
