After being kicked out from the Miss Universe 2024, Italy Mora, together with her boyfriend narrated shocking revelations against César Anel Rodríguez, president of the Miss Panama organization.
As a brief background, the 19-year-old model was expelled by the Miss Universe Organization after she allegedly violated the rule about going out of the hotel when she discussed makeup-related matters and took her personal belongings with her team.
However, in an interview with a program, the ousted beauty queen along with Juan Abadía, her boyfriend finally broke their silence about the alleged irregularities and questionable decisions made by its national director, César.
Contrary to expectations that the local org sponsored Mora's expenses during the pageant in Mexico, Abadía claimed that he was the one who had been supporting Italy from the beginning — including the cost of her dress, accessories, and hotel accommodation.
Italy revealed that since her reign as Miss Panama, she has always been shouldering the cost from her pocket, and even the ticket from Mexico back to her home country was arranged by her mutual friend.
Although the couple was covering all the expenses, César would take all the credits.

The couple then returned to the night of the "incident," recalling that César sent Juan to Italy to talk about an issue with her makeup, and they were seen by a chaperone together. The next day, Mora was informed to leave the pageant without any warning.
What made them doubt Anel was the fact that he was close to the Vice President of the event, and he suddenly went MIA after the dismissal.
"He had everything planned," Abadía asserted.
In the middle of these revelations, Rodriguez has yet to make his official response.
