The past couple of weeks has been rather dramatic for former Miss SA, Marilyn Ramos.
heat magazine published an article where they claim sources at the pageant had labelled her 'the worst Miss SA ever.'
Marilyn hit back saying she didn't have a press team backing her, and while she did do good, there was no pr around her efforts.
Now, heat has managed to sit down with her to get her side of the story.
Marilyn is sticking to her guns saying that 'people really didn't get to see or hear of me during my reign as Miss SA, and it's understandable that they didn't think I did much because they didn't see what I actually did." Marilyn says the comments were 'hurtful' but she knows that she put everything into her reign.
"I just felt frustrated. It wasn't my fault that people didn't care about me. I'm content with my year as Miss SA."
