Miss Angola Leila Lopes found herself caught up in fraud allegations barely two weeks after she won Miss Universe 2011.

Leila Lopes was being criticized by Miss France and fans of Miss Philippines and the controversy about her faking her documents on her way to Miss Universe threatens her reign even more.

However, Lopes, 25, has broken her silence.

According to AOL Latino, the newly-crowned Miss Universe, responded to allegations that she falsified documents in order to be eligible to win the coveted crown.

“I honestly don’t know where they got that information,” Lopes said. “I gave Miss Universe all the required documentation. I’m legal. I just would like to begin the work of Miss Universe. What was said doesn’t affect me because I know that [the naysayers] are in the wrong and I’m in the right. I have the documentation in my hands.”

There’s also an allegation that Lopes is not Angolan because her parents were from Cuba. The beauty queen also answered this rumor.

“I’m 100 percent Angolan, the last name Lopes comes from the fact that Angola was colonized by the Portuguese,” she added.

The rumor originated from an Argentine newspaper “Infobae” which reported on Tuesday that Lopes forged documents to join the qualifying contest in Miss Angola UK last October 2010.

A man named Charles Mukano, allegedly helped Lopes falsified documentation stating that the she is a business administration student in the UK.

All these allegations were denied by the Miss Universe Organization in a statement saying that they never heard of Charles Mukano and that the national director who ran the Miss Angola pageant is Renato Guttler. The statement also denied reports about Lopes’ parents being Cuban and that she can speak Spanish.
