A video of Miss Universe 2019 preliminaries stage has surfaced online. The biggest international beauty pageant has created a buzz everywhere and that is all fans and netizens seem to be talking about these days. However, in the clip, one of the contestants can be seen falling on the runway due to the wet floor. Reportedly, Miss France is not the only one who seems to have taken a slip on the ramp. In a post shared by her, she says that she experienced the 'worst obsession' and that was falling on stage. "A lesson must be learned from each experience, and the lesson I draw from it is that falling and standing up is the very essence of a woman's life, the main thing is to move forward regardless of obstacles. If you fall 9 times raise 10 times and keep your head high!", she wrote.
