In a shocking revelation, Miss Universe runner-up Chidimma Adetshina has announced her decision to leave the world of pageantry behind.
Citing personal reasons, Adetshina opened up about her traumatic experience in the industry.
Adetshina, who finished as 1st runner-up and Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, confessed that her time in pageantry took a toll on her mental health. “Pageantry was a real traumatic experience for me… There were times when I almost quit during the Miss Universe contest,” she revealed in an interview with Silverbird TV.
The beauty queen is relocating to Nigeria, her country of origin, after previously residing in South Africa. Adetshina aims to focus on personal growth, self-discovery, and furthering her education. “I want to focus on myself and establish who I am… I’m really done with pageantry,” she emphasized.
Adetshina’s rise to fame began when she won Miss Nigeria after withdrawing from the Miss South Africa contest due to controversy surrounding her nationality.
Despite her impressive achievement as Miss Universe runner-up, Adetshina’s experience highlights the often-hidden challenges faced by beauty queens. As she embarks on a new journey, fans and well-wishers wish her success and happiness.
