Kapanlagi.com - The controversy surrounding allegations of sexual harassment at Miss Universe Indonesia (MUID) 2023 is still ongoing. This time, contradictory statements were made by Grace Bersyeba, who is also a representative contestant from Maluku.
Grace admitted that she was confused because there were many questions about the case on her social media account. Therefore, Grace finally spoke up.
"Grace (I) am NOT a victim of sexual harassment during the quarantine period at MUID 2023," Grace said in her Instagram post on Friday (25/8).
Initially, Grace was reluctant to comment when asked about the harassment issue in the Miss Universe pageant. But in the end, Grace decided to comment because she didn't want people who know her to be confused about the truth of the rumors.
"The initial statement 'Congratulations, Grace' gradually turned into questions like 'What were you doing?' and 'Are there any photos?'. Not once or twice, but many times," she said.
"Honestly, Mama and Papa initially handled this situation well, but when those questions kept coming up in every conversation, a sense of shame emerged," she added.

As additional information, Grace Bersyeba successfully entered the Top 10 of Miss Universe Indonesia 2023, an achievement that was beyond her expectations. Meanwhile, until now, there is still confusion about the sexual harassment that occurred in MUID 2023, which remains a question mark.
The mystery of the truth of whether or not inhumane acts exist has also not found a ray of light. Poppy Capella, who was once the national director of MUID 2023, expressed her surprise at the emergence of news about sexual harassment in the event she was in charge of. She suspected that there were parties intentionally creating that situation because they wanted to take over the Miss Universe license that was once owned.
