Newly crowned Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark is currently under heavy scrutiny following the release of a TikTok video that features her using a racial slur. 

The clip has sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms, with many individuals and organizations condemning her remarks as offensive and harmful. 

Critics argue that such language is unacceptable, especially from someone in a prominent position like Miss Universe, where she is expected to promote inclusivity and diversity. 

The backlash has raised questions about accountability and the responsibilities of public figures to be mindful of their words and actions.

In a video posted from the Empire State Building, the Danish pageant star sang along to Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind," which contains a racially offensive term, according to a report by the dailymail.co.uk.

Social media users swiftly condemned Theilvig's use of a slur, demanding an apology and calling for her to be stripped of her title.

'Runner up, you're up, this one is DONE,' said one disgusted netizen.

'In the crown at that, omg,' said another person, shocked that she would have the audacity to present the Miss Universe organization in such a manner.

'I feel like she needs to be decrowned. An apology is not enough,' said TikTok user Majin Mo, who created a video questioning whether Theilvig would even apologize.

The Miss Universe Organization has not yet addressed this issue. Kjaer was crowned during the 74th Miss Universe Competition held in Mexico on Nov. 16. She became the first Danish woman to win the prestigious competition.
