Khoury’s official Facebook was bombarded over the week by critical comments of her statement, many saying Miss Lebanon 2011 had voiced a preference of the Republic of Congo to Lebanon.
“Is it true what u said about Lebanon in Miss World 2011 London [?] ... if it’s true then u should be ashamed,” one recent post Thursday said.
Others described Khoury’s comments as shocking, particularly that her duty as Miss Lebanon was to represent her country.
However, many of Khoury’s fans defended her actions, saying the issue had been blown out of proportions.
Thursday’s youth supplement of An-Nahar newspaper led Thursday with an article asking whether Khoury deserved to keep her crown over the affair. The edited photograph that accompanied the article showed a hand clasping the tiara on Khoury’s head.
