Miss Universe Thailand has resigned less than a month into her reign after being criticized on social media over her political comments and looks. Weluree Ditsayabut, 22, announced that she was giving up the title that would allow her to compete in the international Miss Universe. Weluree was criticized for comments she posted on Facebook attacking the “Red Shirt” supporters of the former government, where she accused them of opposing Thailand’s monarchy, and called for the execution of their leaders. She stated that because of the criticism, “the happiness we used to have disappeared totally.”
