Here is the news about Bruna's dethronement/resignation:
Dethroned
Bruna Zanardo has been officially dethroned by carousel productions due to several violations in the contract as a Miss Earth elemental winner. my sources say Bruna has been under investigation for several weeks after she joined a preliminary pageant en route to Miss Brazil universe while holding a Miss Earth elemental title. In my opinion, she should have respected her title and waited for next year when she is no longer a title holder. Thousands of women wanted that title, lots of effort were made by so many women just to get into the Miss Earth stage, so many hearts were broken because they did not make the top 16 ,top 8 and top 4. and here is a woman who won a title , and just takes it for granted and compete for another title while still holding a crown. utmost disrespect for her title, if she really wanted miss universe , then she should have gone for it first ,and her place would have been given to another woman who wanted the miss earth title more. Bruna is a big disappointment and i feel like she just used Miss Earth just to springboard for another pageant, to make her more relevant in pageantry as she was a clapper in previous stints in other national pageants she joined.my reliable sources say she was not even honest, when carousel productions asked her if she is competing for a preliminary pageant for Miss Brasil, she said she is not , it is her sister who is competing, when it was clear that she is the one competing. she deserves her dethronement and miss earth deserves a more committed queen who has her heart set for miss earth and her cause.
