Now i'm 100% with filipinos and asians when they say MU is a cooking show
Why is cooking show. Didn't every one were complaining about the inclusion? Well there they are. Do you want them to win over your candidate that represent a beutiful female that take care of herself?
yes and miss earth can cook the best dish
@@meaw756oh really! Your proof?
@@liliwang5075 isn't the video enough for you?
@@micohcarlporta8850 are you sure you're replying to my comment?
The new owner really made the organization a total mess 😒
The new owner needs to be stopped
What can we expect, this guy thinks shes a lady that alone is a big mess, mentally
All countries should boycott this pageant and not send representatives until the owners are changed and replaced. These owners have ruined the reputation of the Miss UNIVERSE organization. Contestants should sue this organization.
@@james-mx8nz eff off with your transphobic shit
Definitely saw that coming a mile away
after 70+ years building MU to the top. It all went down bcos of this lunatic
It was already on its way down thanks to IMG. Let’s not revise history. Only the 2023 edition was totally under her tenure as owner. Anne was not the one who implemented the inclusion of transgender women. The organization was already cooking the show by picking its own favorites since 2005. All this furor is started by Pinoys who are convinced Michelle Dee was deliberately kept out of the top 5 spot. This is what is truly disgusting. She was not even an inclusion girl and yet they made the organization using them as tokens as proof that Michelle was cheated.
As someone who watches Miss Universe with the family as a yearly-tradition, this video leak speaks VOLUMES About this regime: A two-faced leadership group that uses these Woke-Type Contestants as Props to make them look "Progressive" to the unimformed eyes, while displaying so much HYPOCRISY With A Side Of CORPORATE CYNICISM (Yes, The MUO is For All Intents & Purposes a Business, But the fact that they're doing this stuff moving forward like it's a Beacon On A Hill really sickens me to no end.)
Anne has ZERO Integrity whatsoever and this Pageant with a RICH HISTORY is gonna go down the tubes because of it. smh
This situation has the potential to cost a lot of problems for the international organisation who owns the miss universe franchise as they had accepted women who didn't have a chance to win. For me this is fraud as you are offering some things to many women that will never happen. There is a case here of breaking the law I guess it will depend on what their agreement says and perhaps organizations around the world are waiting for more evidence before taking the decision to terminate their franchise for fraud reasons. We should see soon.
Woke type contestants is a perfect description of what she did and is doing. Satisfy the masses bring in a lot of people that don’t have a chance and get more money.
@@pamelacopley6011 less about "woke" more about getting as much money to support a dwindling industry
There no integrity with this new MUO.. it is not a trust worthy organization any longer.. Frankly I will be petrified to trust my daughters to these kind of people specially now that the MU 2024 is being held in Mexico..
Sponsors of miss universe organization should not support this pageant anymore. Hope it will get bankrupt soon so that he will be forced to sell it to other credible owner. Anne Jakrajutatip is a total garbage. He's a total mess. 🥵
Wicked strategy. That's not right giving false hope to women.
I agree, there’s better ways to go about growing the brand.
Guess the leak video of Anne really seals the deal about her integrity and leadership.
Thank you Dani for sharing your thoughts and insight about the Pageant World. I still believe their are more good ppl. In this world
I hold on to that hope as well!
@@DaniWalkeri used to date the producer of miss usa and miss universe when trump owned it. she told me who would make it to the finals the week before the show happened. it was always bad.
@@louiscyfer6944hiii
@@louiscyfer6944so Anne was correct in calling out Paula in being corrupted.
Why not change Miss Universe Beauty Pageant into Miss Universe Monkey Business since the prestigeness already ruined.
that got me thinking, going back to the last year’s pageant, Michelle Dee was technically part of top 5 but they removed her because based on what the owner said “they can participate but they cannot win”
Or just purely part of the drama lol... social media engagement is vital...
Michelle Dee was a transgender? Didn’t know she’s one of the inclusion placements.
@@freddymendez6265Michelle is the smartest candidates among all of them HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA shuy the fxck up losers poor communication skills😢
@@freddymendez6265 all of the dress are silver, you know u lying
@@freddymendez6265yes she is. The host country official MU page post the top 5 and she's one of them. Then they removed it a minute ago and explained it almost a week after the incident.
Now, we know why Colombia didn't advance to the Top 3 last year.
Can you imagine those girls who joined last year's edition, Nepal whose a plus size woman, Portugal and Netherlands both Trans, colombia whose a mother. They were hoping to reach their dreams but only to know that they only got played also just a year franchise cost them a lot to send diversed women. Every country should boycott on franchising this pageant
They were given a pipe dream.
Nepal was 500lbs. her advancement was a slap to the fit women. Portugal was disgusting. He is in the wrong pageant. And Colombia while pretty had no chance winning being married with kids
@@josephd15womp womp you sound goofy with that kind of closed minded thinking in 2024
@@josephd15your ignorance speaks volume.
@josephd15 who are you to call someone disgusting?
Your emotions about this unfortunate situation says a lot how passionate you are about pageants, and I highly appreciate that.
😭 I only wish I could help all the contestants
God bless you more. I hope this vlog will make an impact to the organization. Still hoping that MUO will regain its glory with a new leader. Lots of Love from the Philippines!
I agree wholeheartedly. Dani, your emotional response to this unfortunate situation truly reflects your deep passion for pageants, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for your genuine commitment to the world of pageantry. Your passion and dedication shine through, and I stand with you in supporting the authentic essence of these competitions. Keep shining your light, and thank you for being a true advocate for the passion and integrity that make pageants so special. ❤❤
@@ojaswijoshi4337 😭😭😭thank you! I’ll do what I can for these ladies 👑
@@DaniWalker❤
A lot of pageant winners are only winners because of politics and business. Most are sooooo obvious even from the semis to the finals.
That's why I still believe in old school beauty pageant with age limit, talent & beauty and brains depending on the set of judges the organization invited.
What you have gone through in Miss USA breaks my heart Dani. 😥The Filipinos love you. ❤
I appreciate all your love and support! Thank you!
Yes, we Filipinos have much love and respect to you🎉
@@DaniWalker I knew there was something wrong. You could easily win if it's a real beauty pageant. Sadly, the winners are backed up by politics and business motives. Most are not even beautiful at all.
Something like this happened to me at my last pageant and I am not sure if I will ever compete again. Pageant PTSD is very real.
Very real. I've heard stories of how these types of things have affected contestants.
I'm glad I joined pageantry a couple of decades ago when it was *mostly* all about the candidates: their beauty, charm, wit and interests. Now it's this overly politicized rich girlies' game where the candidates are just treated like money bags by the organizers.
The leaked video is terrible.... I am so disgusted by the owner and so sad for those who thought they stood a chance.
The most heartbreaking thing is when u commit urself to something u will never achieve.....
MU just went down the gutter..... Ugh
You hit it out of the ballpark!
Dani this is the best segment you have EVER done! You mailed it . TEAM DANI
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for coming to watch!
NOT ONLY THAT but for the National director of the Miss Universe Mexico was also involved and pointed out that the goal is to bring down “Mexicana Universal” which was the Miss Universe license holder owned by former Miss Universe 1991 Lupita Jones. My head hurts and legit feel bad for every girl who will be participating this year’s competition
😘
it’s always been her purpose, cause lupita dethroned her once, she can bring it down but the one who’s still the gonna be the one holding the grudge is her not lupita
We NEED more EXPOSURE stories to be revealed from previous pageant contestants to show the TRUTH of such pageants. These shows if not done honestly can cause serious mental health issues and pain to women that last years! Its unfair and the pageant industry MUST change!
Thank you for sharing the truth Dani ❤️ you are a real one who has overcome so much! Queen 👑
Being a hardcore pageant fan, specially Miss Universe for a decade now watching this clip is more heartbreaking than shocking!!! How a pageant which had such a strong legacy of itself ,its winners and the ideals exists no more .....more than 70 years of legacy built by such dedicated leaders is now in remains because of this maniac . Honestly , I had never thought ...even in the wildest of my dreams that "my" Miss Universe organisation would be in such a condition one day 💔
Horrible! It's very devastating! 😢 This is insanity!
You are on fire. Your frustration is apparent in your expression like never before in the previous videos. I heard you and disappointed too.❤
Hi, Dani, I appreciate your comments about this organization. Stay safe .
Thank you!
Dani I love you! Everything you're saying about the plan to support untraditional contestants was my exact concern as well. I've been married for 3 years and have a 2 year old daughter. I just started competing in Mrs. pageants but the bulk of my experience is in Miss. I was not sold on this because they kept saying that moms and wives were allowed to compete but did not say how they would SUPPORT a title holder who is a wife and/or mom! The needs of a single woman and a family woman are completely different and now we know why there was never an explanation given, they never plan on crowning a family woman. I'm really interested to see if wives and moms will still challenge the system and take the "be so good they have to crown you" approach.
I've been curious about this as well. I'd love to hear what the orgs take is on this.
Dear Dani, I totally agree with you. Love your videos. I felt sick to my stomach seeing that video for the first time. I have not ever aspired to be in pageants but I felt so heartbroken for the women that are part of these groups. As a matter of fact, after I posted these videos on my ig page, I received countless dms from past & current contestants absolutely gutted by it. One of them shared with me that she was as so excited having gotten in her nationals this year, and that so far she has spent over 500$ on coaches etc, but she has now decided to pull out due to these videos. It’s so sad, the way the video was almost mocking these women and laughing in their faces .. I agree with you no idea how they’re gonna recover from this. I’m so sad for the brand :(
I felt so sick as well. I thought about being in those women's position and how I would have felt. I've also been getting contestant messages saying they're pulling out as well and I fully understand that decision.
all of your points are spot on! i also like it that you are so affected, as it shows you are truly a pageant fan like us. this is really sad, most especially to the "inclusivity" girls that made the top 20. i hope they did not feel that they don't deserve their placements. even Sheynnis' win will be questioned, as you can see at 2:05 when Anne said "you already know who's the winner..."
I always look forward to your videos esp. pageant related! Keep posting ❤
Oh my GOD thank you for sharing!!!!! You're so brave!
Dani for president!! So glad that you are a spokesperson for what is happening in the pageant world whether it is negative or positive. I know a place when I can arrive on and listen to objective and realistic opinions and it is with you, Dani!
The contestants make the pageant be seen and without them, it wouldn't be possible to be held. Any organization should cherish someone who is willing to invest their time, money and even mental health to be there.
Yessssss, at the end of the day the contestants are the organization! They are the draw to audiences!! They should be treated with dignity and respect. An org cannot exist without it's contestants. These ladies should be the center of business decisions.
No words. I'm baffled. No mercy. Evil exposed.
If im part of that board meeting, i would walk out and resign immediately. I cannot take any word Anne is making. She is destroying the organization.
The moment Miss Anne took over the Miss U .. I knew exactly where it goin... Downhill...
MISS?!!!! HE/IT is not a miss! HE/IT is a MESS!!! a VERY BIG MESS!!!
@@ronmimi3282 Shes a woman so use Miss/she ...
My goodness! Look at the damage control they did a day after that video was leaked! They’re trying to cover it up by telling everyone that the video was fake! No amount of AI manipulation can imitate Anne JKN’s voice, the voice in the video really belongs to Anne.
Fake or not, I am not about to just jump on this like they did with Miss USA Sara Rose Summers. What was the context? Was they being sarcastic, or serious? As it appears everybody was laughing and joking around. This is obvious not the complete meeting so what was said before and what was said after? Anne herself said what I myself had said, the plus size, transgender, etc contestants may made first cut but the judges will not pick them. Was she being cynically honest?
correct..it was a scape goat to denie the video.
A 100 percent it was Ann's voice.
It was unacceptable this fake inclusivity.
To lie and gives false hope is definetely
lack of integrity and leadership.
This is exactly what Lupita Jones said when she learned her MU franchise hadn't been renewed back in November 2023. She said all the women competing at MU under the new guidelines just don't stand the same chance, and nobody heard. And now, with this leaked video, her words are so true and now everybody understands.
You hit the nail on the head here Dani ✨✨ I completely agree with your thoughts.
I’m a married mother of two and I applied for my state pageant and wasn’t accepted. I competed at my state pageant in 2015 as a 25 year old. I should have been accepted they don’t want us
Hello, Dani!
It has been a while since we greeted each other. I applaud you for speaking the truth with an empowered voice in this video about Miss USA pageantry. I wholeheartedly agree with you about this! My main concern is each contestant's mental health because they invest time in the dress, makeup, interviews, etc, to show the real themselves. But when they get a place or not, l notice their spirit has crashed because of MUA (please tell me if l am wrong) words that “contestants did place but never won,” which is terrible to express to all of us women. They don't know what it feels like to have mental health issues like anxiety, depression, etc. It can destroy confidence, beauty, spirit, and personality quickly. I don't want those contestants to have that experience like l did. That is the reason why I stopped pageantry. I mean, where is the uplifting, support, respect, and integrity system for this pageantry? I want to see all women crown each other like we are all true Queens no matter what. That is a true empowerment and a strongly defined role of women for everyone. ❤
That leaked video is directly a slap to those girls dreaming to became a Miss Universe and all the MU franchisee all over the world.
They can no longer deny this
National Directors should cancel their membership to MUO. They are just being used. Until a new authentic owner arises and fix these mess then countries should not participate again.
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO EVER DANI!!!! You Are a woman with substance. Kudos
I felt your words to my core.
OMG, I totally agree. When I watched last MU , I thought how clever was the organization to make sure the new inclusive candidates had a spot on the stage.
Thank you, Dani!
Omg... Dani... I would feel intimidated talking with you... You are sooo well spoken, the content you spoke here is complicated❤❤
Thank you! But not need to feel intimidated. I’m friendly 😊
I love this video. You are so sound and well structured. You should be a national director or creative director. You have an exceptional mind, irreplaceable heart and the relevant knowledge. I believe in you Dani. Keep spreading the love.
Very on point! ❤
Luv ya Dani… this is unfortunate I really have no words.. much credit to you for coming out and talking about it.
I need Raul and Anne to sell the organization, otherwise, I’ll do everything in my power to boycott the pageant
Dani I really appreciate your heart felt comments. MU or McDonald's are the same. They market to different groups differently to sell their product with DEI as the new marketing terminology. As a pageant mom, I am glad I prepared my daughter for the business side of pageants. We set goals for her and leveraged her local or state titles to get the exposure we were seeking, the practice on stage, the stage presence or speech, etc. Pageantry is good training ground for many things and as long as contestants understand at the end of the day it's business nothing personal then you go with the flow and enjoy the experience.
Interesting perspective. When i mentioned you doing hallmark i didn't know at the time you had an entertainment background. I went to performing arts school and i do see how my American idol audition was more about the TV show than talent but i didn't know pageantry was that way.
Thank you!
Since I was 6 years old @dani i grew up watching Miss universe as its inspired not only women but men too, to become a better person, be empowered and make a difference. Anne may look expensive but she is so cheap inside. She doesnt know the mission ane vision of the organization - how do we oust her?
Missing the Trump Era, where it was, in actuality, real women, empowered real women made happen by a real man for real women.nothing against trans or any others… but back when it was simple and the real Miss Universe platform was of importance and was a real show.
💯
All contestants should sue them! Class action lawsuit!
It's so sad and ironic that she herself is part of the Trans community who has historically struggled with public acceptance but has denied opportunities for diverse contestants to win the pageant. I don't even know how the org is gonna recover for what JKN era did.
Thank you for bringing this up, Dani. It's all what we need to know. Miss Universe Organization is an organization to uplift women and not to let them fall to false hopes. The integrity of the organization is now in question and no rocket science to explain this badly affects more than just the brand but all of the countries supporting and paying for enormous franchise licenses! Unbelievable!
Thanks for such a powerful, transparent and eloquent video
20:35 The national pageants may not even bother to file lawsuits but they may withdraw from participating-- what for?
Maybe this is why so many are giving up the franchise.
@@DaniWalker Most likely, yes. We cannot blame them if they chose not to join anymore when they now know that it is a game they cannot win from the very start.
Thanks for making a content about this
You're very welcome!
I love you Danny and your channel. You're amazing. Regards from New Zealand. 😊💛
This made me tear up. I felt your narrative, Dani. The struggles & investment trying to fit into an organization's business model. 😢 And I'm not yet even referring to the disgust & disappointment I felt from that leaked video.
Ironically, Dani is revealing a lot more of what happened under Paula Shugart than what’s going with JKN…. And it seems everybody is ok with the former and not with the latter. I have never been comfortable with the organization picking semifinalists as it is to all our understanding that the judges chose them, hence the revealing of the prelim rankings in the 1999s. As for Anne, we have yet to see the full context of this meeting. Are they brainstorming ideas, or this is something they will implement? When Anne said they cannot win, is she saying they will not be made winners even if the judges choose them or the judges would never pick them to begin with, as you know there are never been a restriction on weight but yet which body type participated the most and go on to win?
I totally agree with you on all of the points you raised.
This video was leaked by Rodrigo Goytortua, former employee of Miss Universe Mexico Org. He was threatened and eventually fired by Raul. Rodrigo has stated he has more damning video evidence of corruption, but because of a pending lawsuit against Raul, he is not sharing any more details. Keep in mind, this Board of Directors meeting happened last October 2023... BEFORE Nicaragua won the crown... so it just confirms Nepal, Colombia and Portugal made it in for inclusivity marketing, but they never stood a chance to actually win.
Thank you Dani Ma'am for sharing this reality with us without any fear.
DEVASTING. Just devastating.
It's not surprising. It's been happening for a lot longer than most know. And it is not exclusive to MUO. In fact it continues to happen in some highly praised national and international pageants. Oh! The things I can say
I can't think of anything that would be more hurtful to those in the "non traditional" categories (and I'm one of them) than to have video proof that why bother, you'll never be picked anyway--even if you aren't competing in that system!
@@amg73807that is why there are pageants for non traditional contestants. One pageant expert said before you join a system, look at the winners. If none of them are plus sized and you are, you will probably not win.
Girllllll I noticed those things too! Sad that it wasn’t a fair game. But business is business.
Fake inclusivity has always existed. I noticed it with the state Teen USA pageants. Semi Finalist in my state were all over 16 with businesses and non profits. But they encourage 14 years old to believe they have a chance. We also noticed the winner in our state barely spent time with other contestants, woke up with her hair crown ready every day. Only showed for rehearsal and was always placed in the front
Never have I felt so icky and upset. I have been watching Miss Universe since I was a child and it became a serious interest of mine for the past 10 years. I have spent so much time thinking watching and analysing videos of various the national pageants and the pageant itself as I always saw it as a sport. I knew there were certain types of biasness and a possibly a push for inclusitivity. But this is just pure rigging and exploitation. It hurts because I genuinely believe they were embracing diversity. This has completely ruined it for me. Hope she steps down soon. Incredibly disappointed.
This video is so powerful you are amazing
You're absolutely spot on, it's a business first and I would almost bet my life that EVERY pageant organization has similar discussions behind closed doors. Many times it is just a matter of paying attention to who is saying and doing what leading up to a competition and the outcome. Many many pageants I and many others have witnessed and wondered "what just happened" at the outcome. It's sad, unfair and unfortunate for the contestants, their supporters and fans of pageantry how much things have changed across the board in recent years. I am hopeful this organization will recover one day, but this is a huge turn off for so many (competing in all different systems) and this video literally confirms what so many of us have speculated and had little glimpses of in our own experiences. This is what's killing pageantry.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It made me emotional too as a longtime pageant fan and though I was optimistic back in fall 2022, I have now lost all respect for the current owner.
Even Nawat don’t go this low. He is very clear on what he wants on his pageant and who are allowed to join. Imagine wasting the contestants’ time, efforts, and money when they don’t even have a chance to win to begin with. So despicable.
don't compare Nawat with Anne
Hi Dani, it is the first time I see one of your videos. You are very special and I feel that you have a great soul. What they are doing is simply catastrophic, and it will bring consequences. Miss Universe is an iconic beauty pageant, and many people is hoping that this unfortunate episode of Miss Universe already has an end. Just as you say, no one can or should play with anyone’s dreams, that’s from unscrupulous people.
Welcome to the channel! So glad you're here. As a big dreamer myself, it hurts me to see and hear the video. I know how it feels to dedicate yourself to a dream and if I found out there was not even a chance I could win, I'd be so discouraged and heartbroken.
perfection DANI is EVERYTHING
Great video! Vers important tyst people know about this
Omg this is so chaotic
Your heart is definitely into pageants. You deserve to be a national director of Miss USA Or president of the MUO (without JKN)
I hope that MUO will change it ownership ASAP in the future.
Thank you Dani for all of your insight! You are so thoughtful about this business and shed a light that people might turn a blind eye to. But you always share the positives first-much like I try to do in our studio class at school. Only through these conversations will any business evolve. Brava!!!
Ooh dear!!! Shaking my head!!! What a terrible mess.
I feel so sick to my stomach right now seeing the whole thing.
I feel the same way.
I wanted to compete in Miss Texas USA next year but now I don’t even know, I would be 30 next year but what is the point now? Do I keep on training or do I just get better for my self and shift my focus to something else? 😢
Difficult right. I would say never give up, but we have heard it’s physically impossible.. Sometimes it’s better to put your energy elsewhere whilst improving yourself
Dani, I’m losing hope in MUO but I haven’t lost faith in pageantry and the women that compete for the right reasons, like you. You bring so much integrity and I wish people like you were in charge.
Thank you for this video!🤦🏻♀I agree it's so unacceptable.. the experience should be the same for everyone! If they want to choose contestants from a business-showbiz standpoint, then they should at least be upfront and realistic about it. Most of us in the pageant world understand it's a business... but don't give contestants false hope.
I'm also very dissapointed for this situation, as a pageant fan myself since 2003 I didn't see this coming. Such a shame.
Wow Dani this is insane. Wonder if this video is going to get any push back or it’s going to get sweep under the rug?
So sickening!
This is very alarming.
and how do you judge in swimsuit when you're not wearing a swimsuit?
I never thought an older women or a plus size would ever win in the first place.
Anne has no class! MU org lost its class by bringing Ann in! Paula had class! She was a huge reason MU was seen as classy in my eyes!
Thanks for putting this out! This makes alot of sense since Ann owned the organization. They should be jailed for killing dreams and hopes.
This is very disheartening. I competed in 2013 for a Miss USA state pageant and when I walked into the room for my official interview, the judges told me "they would NEVER pick someone with an accent." I wish someone would have told me that before entering the pageant and spending so much money into the competition.
How far this organization has fallen. Thank you for your thoughtful commentary Dani.
This absolutely breaks my heart as someone who has been deeply invested emotionally in this pageant since I was a kid. My first year was 1980. I've never missed a year. This woman CAN NOT ruin this!!!!
I can't even find the words to express what I'm feeling with all this. I shirt if expected it, because it is a business, but I've become to alright to drama that I played the ignorance is bliss card. Regardless of what happens, I wanted to send you an E-hug. I'm sorry for the pain you still have inside of you for whatever injustices have happened to you. Please know many of us hold you in such high regards and look up to you. You are wonderful and will continue to share your wonder with other ladies for them to become wonderful as well. ❤
Lets not even talk about how this isnt fair for pageant countries who sends off their best contestants and have all other other local industries collaborate the best representation of their country and their finest women. All those effort, money, time, energy, blood sweat and tears invested to make sure that this representative will win the competition for the country they represent. Are they going to reimburse those when they are actially only deciding the winners without merit? It has become a scam. The best people (designers, stylists, sponsors) in the Philippines collaborate with their candidate mostly for free and spending their own money and skill just to make sure they bring the crown to their country. This should be illegal
This is exactly why I am so concerned. Many don't understand what the "village" contributes to a titleholder. Their efforts are not without cost. It is not fair that they're investing, if there's no chance a titleholder can win.
I am absolutely not surprised. For me include everyone was always a strategy for Miss Universe. Like the fact to integrate them in the top but not have the intention to make them winners. I never thought they were genuine unfortunately. Actually your experience for miss USA was also shared by miss France this year in miss Universe.
