Fans Accuse Rabiya Mateo of Plastic Surgery Operations
Rabiya Mateo took to Instagram to address the allegations of plastic surgery after her yearbook picture from over a decade ago reemerged online.
Since the photo appeared on social media, internet users called her ugly and suggested she had undergone plastic surgery to make herself look more attractive.
She clarified 11 years earlier, her teeth weren’t repaired by braces, she didn’t know much about makeup, and she wasn’t aware of what angle would make her look more beautiful.

She also encouraged netizens to quit bullying people’s physical image, and the people who call someone ugly would need to get their souls cleansed.
Mateo said,
This is me 11 years ago. I still didn’t have my braces. I don’t [know] how to put [on] makeup. I’m not aware of what angle flatters me most — but this is still me. A lot of things happened in that period of time.
The 24-year-old added,
I grew up and became more mature. I was able to invest in myself and practice self-love. If there would be one thing that I want to offer other people to know about me, it’s that I’m beautiful then and now. The only thing different is now, I know better.
She continued,
P.S. Stop calling anyone ugly. If that’s how you see things, and maybe then, it’s your soul that needs surgery.

Rabiya said,
As much as I want people to love me, not everyone will like me.
As maintained by her, she’s taking the failures as part of the obstacles she’s faced on her road to the Miss Universe crown.
So now, it’s a test of character, a test of faith. But I know because I played the game right and fair.
As for fellow contestants who accused her of breaching the pageant standards, such as supposedly bringing her own glam squad and getting fed up with queries prior to the Q&A. She said she would like to feel the good side of these people not to feel negative about them.
Rabiya Mateo explained:
Some of the girls also said, I befriended them during the competition and you know, that’s not how they treated me all throughout.
So I’d like to still remember them as somebody who was there when I was struggling rather than those people who are bitter about my success. I need to understand where they’re coming from.
