Miss Universe Fatima Bosch is speaking out in an ABC News exclusive interview.
The Miss Universe pageant had it's first-ever transgender woman competing.
A 23-year-old dental student from France won the Miss Universe crown Monday in a pageant held in the Philippines, saying her triumph will make the beauty contest more popular in Europe and help her efforts to put more underprivileged children in school.
The new Miss Teen USA will get to keep her crown despite an outcry over tweets she once wrote using racist language.
A Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers will hold a "Runner Up Night" next season to commemorate the Miss Universe gaffe that temporarily awarded the crown to the second-place finisher.
