Miss Colombia Catalina Robayo, a Miss Universe 2011 candidate, has been reprimanded for allegedly going commando, wearing no panties at official appearances.
Quoting a source, Fox News reported that Miss Colombia "had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate.”
“People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out,” the source added.
Paula Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization, also told Fox News that she was surprised seeing Catalina Robayo's commando photo on a newspaper.
“There were several girls in short dresses which caused concern, but when I saw the (commando) picture on the front page of one of the local papers I was very, very surprised,” Shugart said.
“Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to her (Robayo) and apparently she said she was wearing underwear. But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days,” she added.
Miss Colombia Catalina Robayo's commando (no panty) photo has also made its way online. The said picture is currently doing its rounds in social media sites.
