Jessica Newton Sets the Record Straight on Miss Peru

Jessica Newton Responds to Milett Figueroa's Criticism of Miss Peru: 'It's Not a Vacation' Former Miss Peru and current director of the Miss Peru Organization, Jessica Newton, recently addressed comments made by Milett Figueroa regarding the competition. Figueroa had implied the prize was merely a free trip, a sentiment Newton strongly refutes. "Milett's experience didn't meet her expectations," Newton explained in a recent video. "But the prize is a series of contracts and work with sponsors, not a vacation." Newton detailed the rigorous schedule, including early mornings, sponsor appearances, and numerous activities. She added, "No pageant in the world pays contestants simply for participation. It's hard work!" Newton's response offers a glimpse into the demanding life of a beauty pageant contestant, contrasting the glamorous image with the reality of long hours and commitments. Her personal anecdotes from her own Miss Universe experience further humanize the competition.
