On Instagram Stories, the beauty queen shared a screenshot of a post that criticized her &quot;ugly tattoos&quot; and &quot;fillers,&quot; which were supposedly among the reasons why she missed a semi-final placement in Miss Universe.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/01/15/23/celeste-cortesi-ends-miss-universe-journey">Celeste Cortesi ends Miss Universe journey</a></li></ul>&quot;Just sad how she doesn&#x27;t see her beauty. Those ugly tattoos on her skin, maybe one reason di siya nakapasok sa 50 man lang, now the fillers. Indeed it&#x27;s her life but she is posting her photos in public, she is giving us the right to comment,&quot; the netizen said.In response, Cortesi stressed that while people are entitled to their opinion, it does not give them the right to be mean to others.&quot;Grabe talaga. Because I post my photos in public I am giving you the right to comment? Maybe I am giving you the right of having an opinion. I may not be liked by everyone and that&#x27;s totally okay. But by posting my photos and being a public figure I am not giving you the right to be mean and to judge what you don&#x27;t know,&quot; she said.&quot;What I have been standing for during Miss Universe continues after my reign and I will never get tired of telling you people to be more kind!&quot; she added. &quot;Not just to me but to everyone here!&quot;&quot;Kindness goes a long way. And maybe if we all learn to be more sensitive and kind, we can all be happier.&quot;<div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Screenshot from Instagram Stories/@celeste_cortesi" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2023/life/07/25/20230725-celeste-ss.jpg"/><figcaption>Screenshot from Instagram Stories/@celeste_cortesi</figcaption></figure></div>After her Miss Universe stint, Cortesi went on to pursue a career in show business.She recently attended the GMA Gala as one of the network&#x27;s Sparkle artists just like one of her predecessors, Rabiya Mateo.
