Alicia Machado is used to being surrounded by controversy, especially about her weight. In the past she was body shamed by Donald Trump, who owned the Miss Universe Organization when the Venezuelan won the pageant. In a recent appearance at Premios Tu Mundo 2017, Machado was fat shamed by social media users for appearing to have gained weight. Her lace jumpsuit hugged her curves amazingly, so we don't know what those haters are talking about. According to Univision, Alicia responded to these negative comments by saying: "I still have 11 more pounds to gain to be even fatter for my the next character I'm playing." So Machado's gain weight is on purpose and we are sure this shut down a lot of the trolls. Check out Alicia's outfit from that night here and tell us what you think!
Alicia Machado received negative comments from Donald Trump, who used to own the Miss Universe pageant when she won the title in 1996. Following her win representing her native country of Venezuela she gained a couple of pounds and Trump humiliated her and even referred to her as "Miss Piggy."
Trump called her an “eating machine” during an interview with Howard Stern, and invited the media to watch Machado when he took her to a gym to exercise. “They took me to the gym, and I’m exposed to 90 media outlets.” Machado also told The New York Times that Trump was there, so he clearly knew what was going to happen.
“I was about to cry in that moment with all the cameras there,” she said of the humiliating moment. “I said, ‘I don’t want to do this, Mr. Trump.’ He said, ‘I don’t care.’”
Machado told “Inside Edition” that the incident made her feel publicly body-shamed and added that Trump called her names. “He called me Miss Piggy,” she revealed, saying it made her feel “so fat.” “I was very depressed in that moment,” she said.
Despite being on Alicia's side for the shaming because nobody deserves to go through that type of hell, earlier this year she got herself into another pickle, which we don't agree with her at all. Cristiano Ronaldo shared a photo of himself and his son holding his newborn twins with the caption "blessed" in the endearing family photo. The Venezuelan star took to her Instagram and criticized the Portuguese star in the comments.
"Poor little ones," she wrote. "My position continues to be radical. Why do that with so many babies in his native Brasil that are dying of hunger and have no place to live. Kids are not mascots nor scientific experiments. Selfishness is so big that he goes out and make babies. The liberty of opinion." Note that Machado said Ronaldo was from Brasil, which is not correct as the Real Madrid star is from Portugal.
But Alicia did not stop there as she received backlash from her deplorable comments and she went on to write: "Vernacular machos always come out and bark, I didn't know where he was from. What I can see is the misery. #ADOPT is the best way to show the souls nobility. A group of machos barking. Kisses."
