Miss Puerto Rico Pepper Spray Incident Made Up?
The world of beauty pagents is incredibly cut throat and this past weekend’s competition for just a chance to be in the Miss Universe pagent was no exception. Ingrid Marie Rivera reportedly had her clothing, make-up and credit cards stolen and her make-up and gowns sabotaged and doused in pepper spray. She claims to have had to shed her clothes and put ice on her skin in between performances because she broke out in hives. Now crime scene investigators in Puerto Rico are wondering how she was able to not cry while on stage, if indeed having been covered in pepper spray.
The reported skepticism about Rivera prompted Today show host Meredith Vieira to inquire on Tuesday’s broadcast if, possibly, crime-scene investigators believe the pepper-spray claim may have been imaginary.
“They’re saying, they think she made it up?” Vieira asked reporter Kerry Sanders, who replied: “They’re looking into it. They’re curious.”
Rivera is due to be interviewed on Wednesday’s Today show, where, on Tuesday, co-anchor Matt Lauer said he intended to get to the bottom of the mystery.
This is curious. I think I could see it if it was just her clothing. The contestants aren’t on stage for very long. To not cry if it was mixed in your make-up? That just doesn’t seem possible. How can you continue wearing it? Something is amiss…
