The well-known content creator Kenny Robert has come to the defense of Lina Luaces, the newly crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2025, following a wave of criticism on social media, particularly concerning her not being born on the island. In a video posted on Instagram, Robert addressed the topic by stating, "I'm here to talk about Miss Universe because people are asking me to. Obviously, I had my favorites: Lina, Deneb, Camagüey, and a mixed-race beauty with a marmalade complexion who resembled me. I was pleased that Lina won; I liked it."
Many individuals are questioning the current Miss Universe Cuba's titleholder primarily because she wasn't born in Cuba. Robert reminded everyone, "The blood doesn't lie; her parents are Cuban. Even if her Spanish isn't perfect, she likely grew up with customs similar to those of us who are originally from Cuba." His support extends to Lili Estefan's daughter, showing solidarity despite the backlash.
Critics Face Kenny's Sharp Response
In his characteristically spicy style, Robert further elaborated, "I took the time to look at the profiles of those criticizing her. How dare they? Some have faces and bodies that wouldn't even qualify for a neighborhood pageant, let alone anything bigger. These are people who wouldn't even make Miss Congeniality." His words were aimed at those disparaging Lina, questioning their credibility and motives.
Responding to a particularly harsh remark from a TikTok user, Robert didn't hold back: "A TikTok user, who referred to Lina's win as 'bought,' is a black whale. Some people couldn't compete in anything, even if they had the money, because they lack the figure and have nothing but sawdust in their heads," he remarked, unfiltered and unapologetic.

"The girl is tall and beautiful; she may need a little polishing, but aren't you ashamed?" he challenged critics.
