Since Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, the new owner of the pageant, is also the owner of Miss Usa and Miss Teen Usa, everyone is already making assumptions and pointing out that the Filipino-victory American's was a fraud.
The Thai woman expresses openly on Instagram that she owns both competitions, raising the possibility that Gabriel's crown was already on before the contest.
