   Miss Honduras’ crown may have gotten too heavy for her head —   
   with claims of "diva-like behavior" and breaks in her   
   "contractual obligations," the Miss Universe organization   
   stripped Sirey Moran of her title.   
      
   According to Carimaxx, which holds the rights to the pageant in   
   Honduras, Moran was attending events and undertaking   
   negotiations without their approval, Pageant News reported.   
      
   Carlos Rivera, director of Carimaxx, said Morán "did whatever   
   she felt like doing" and believed "she's the boss."   
      
   Moran joins three other recently dethroned Latina beauty queens.   
      
   Miss Florida was kicked from her throne just last week for   
   illegally using professional stylists not affiliated with the   
   pageant.   
      
   And Miss Corpus Christi was stripped after it was discovered she   
   had a criminal past.   
      
   Lastly, recently Miss Universe Puerto Rico was accused by   
   organizers of having an “attitude problem” and incurring in   
   breach of contract.   
      
   Morán, the Honduras beauty, is denying the accusations and   
   claims she was actually attacked by Rivera and another man   
   during a meeting in New York City at the end of June.   
      
   Rivera says it’s an outright lie. “I never hit her,” he told La   
   Prensa,   
      
   Morán didn’t take her eviction from the competition well,   
   calling it “very unfortunate.”   
      
   “I am very disappointed and hurt, violence is never the answer,"   
   she told E!News online. "I am working with the proper   
   authorities here in the United States and Honduras and am   
   confident in how they are handling the situation for me."   
      
   At the root of the rift between Morán and Rivera is his   
   accusation that she’s gone somewhat rogue in her queenly duties.   
      
   “She would go to many events without discussing them with us,”   
   Rivera told E!News. “She would also participate in photo shoots   
   for magazines without our authorization. She would do whatever   
   she wanted,” he added   
      
   “I would always tell her, 'You don't do this, we have to protect   
   your image.' She didn't obey the contract's clause. She thinks   
   she's in charge of this organization, but that's not the way it   
   is," Rivera said.   
      
   Morán seems determined to fight her way back.   
      
   In a statement to El Heraldo she said, "Being able to compete   
   for Miss Universe has always been a dream of mine. Representing   
   the country of Honduras is such an honor and something I take   
   very seriously …  The support I am getting from the community is   
   truly amazing. I hope to be able to compete for Miss Universe   
   and represent my home country of Honduras."
