Jamaicans are furious with Miss Universe pageant organizers after Davina Bennett wasn’t given the crown on Sunday night.
Bennett was declared the second runner-up after a stellar performance. Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters representing South Africa was crowned Miss Universe 2017 with Laura Gonzalez from Colombia named the first runner-up.
