The crowning moment came a following year when she won the Miss Universe 1996 title, the fourth Venezuelan to win the coveted title. Her time being Miss Universe, however, was not without controversy and negative attention from the media due to her weight gain during her reign. Donald Trump, the owner of Miss Universe Organization, ridiculed the Miss Universe in front of her about her weight gain, calling her Miss Piggy and requiring her to workout in front of the media. The incident sparked a long-lasting conflict between Alicia and Trump.
