New Miss USA R’Bonney Gabriel is denying allegations pageant officials favored her over other contestants, asserting the competition was not “rigged.”

Speaking to E! News, Gabriel said she would “never enter any pageant or any competition that I know I would win.”

“I have a lot of integrity,” she added.

Gabriel, the first Filipino-American woman to win the title, is a model and fashion designer who competed as Miss Texas USA. Her win was questioned by contestants after the pageant as questions swirled on social media as to why most of the Miss USA contestants walked off the stage after Gabriel was crowned.

In an Instagram post, Miss Alabama USA Katelyn Vinson hinted that the results were predetermined and she and others “never stood a chance” to win.

“It’s crushing and heartbreaking to have worked so hard towards a goal only to realize you never stood a chance,” Vinson said. “I had heard rumors but held onto hope. I kept working toward my dream because I didn’t want to believe it could be true.”

Miss Montana USA Heather Lee O’Keefe and Miss New York Heather Nunez also spoke out about what they said was favoritism shown towards Gabriel, including connections to a pageant sponsor and judge and spa services provided to her before she was crowned.

Gabriel told E! she was open to talking to her fellow contestants.

“I want to be transparent, and I want everybody to know that there was no unfair advantage and nothing was rigged,” she said.

The Miss Universe Organization told the New York Post it is investigating the claims.

“We are aware of the concerns that have been brought forth by this year’s Miss USA contestants,” the organization told The Post in an emailed statement. “We commend the women for bringing these issues to our attention and will always be an organization that encourages women to use their voice.

“We firmly believe everyone has a right to express their thoughts and experiences without retaliation and bullying,” the statement said. “There are existing systems in place to ensure the fairness of our national competitions and as such we have begun an active review into this situation.”
