Amina Shelbaya’s concern regarding Logina’s presence on Miss Universe was definitely the start of the drama

Amina Shelbaya’s curiosity quickly set social media ablaze. Was it shade? A genuine question? Or just a misunderstanding of the evolving rules of beauty pageants? Either way, it didn’t take long for Logina Salah to respond—and her clapback was as graceful as her walk down the runway.

Logina, who is not just a contestant but a proud mom, had no intention of letting the comment slide. She reminded everyone that today’s women are rewriting the rulebook. “Moms can achieve anything they set their sights on,” she said, proudly showcasing that she’s a role model both on and off the stage. And she’s not alone—Logina was one of nine contestants rocking the Miss Universe stage while also juggling the challenges (and joys) of mom life.

People’s reactions are wild though!

While some were quick to interpret Amina Shelbaya’s remark as criticism, others chimed in to defend her. Many clarified that her comment wasn’t meant to throw shade—it was just an honest question about the evolving definition of what “Miss” Universe means.

Still, Logina’s fans weren’t having it. They flooded her social media with messages of support, cheering her on for smashing stereotypes and proving that motherhood doesn’t box anyone out of chasing their dreams.
