We've had enough of this bulls***. You stole this title from REAL women. You have absolutely nothing to be proud of," @sensiblyshy wrote.An account named @stan_entrepreneur said, "This is simply evil...""A man just stole the first place of a woman and gets applause for it.
Full circle, we just killed 200 years of work of women who fought for equality," wrote @dancecareers.world.The comments continued as the people criticizing Kollé online seemed to outweigh those who congratulated her.The Miss Netherlands competition has been running for 94 years, and Kollé's monumental victory secured she'd make history at Miss Universe in 2023, too.
