Facing a barrage of accusations from her vanquished opponent at the pageant, the newly crowned Miss Bumbum 2018 Ellen Santana stated that she wants to be an inspiration to women around the world, and that “to be a winner you need to know how to lose”.

Axar.az reports citing Sputnik that the finale of the last-ever Miss Bumbum contest in Brazil erupted into chaos when the event’s winner was suddenly pounced upon by a sore loser right in the middle of the award ceremony, held at Club Eazy in Sao Paulo.

As Ellen Santana was being crowned Miss Bumbum 2018, another contestant named Aline Uva charged her and snatched the winner’s ribbon from her victorious rival.

According to Uva, whose 110cm derriere is 5cm bigger that Santana’s, and who gained the most public votes in the run-up to the final, the vote was sabotaged and she is the one who should’ve won the pageant.

"I obeyed all the rules and my bum is the only one that's 100% natural. I grabbed the winner's ribbon because I'm the only woman who really deserves the title," Uva said, as quoted by The Daily Mail. "I represent the natural Brazilian bum and nobody can take that away from me. The three women who got the most votes are all fake, their bottoms are pure silicone, that's an injustice."
