Trump protester Roselyn Sanchez to co-host Miss Universe Pageant
Monday, Dec. 14, 2015 | 4:07 p.m.
Puerto Rican beauty and actress Roselyn Sanchez, who made global headlines when she walked out of Donald Trump’s Miss USA Pageant as co-host after his remarks about Mexican immigrants in the Unites States, has signed on to co-host the Miss Universe Pageant on Sunday at Axis at Planet Hollywood.
The official announcement of Roselyn, also a singer-songwriter, model and producer, joining the pageant was made this afternoon. Roselyn joins TV host and Emmy Award winner Steve Harvey, who was announced as co-host last Thursday.
The Donald sold his interest in the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants after the controversy that erupted in remarks in his bid for the presidency. Univision and NBC severed their relationship with the real estate mogul, and Roselyn, whose credits include “Without a Trace” and “Devious Maids,” walked away from the pageant broadcast in protest.
At the time, Roselyn wrote on her Facebook page: “As a Latino, proud of my roots, culture and all that we have contributed to this nation, I decided to cancel my participation in the Miss USA Pageant.
“I cannot tolerate the disrespectful and hurtful words out of the mouth of Mr. Trump. Mexicans, like all Latinos, contribute positively to this great nation. We are the force that keeps the country afloat.”
Roselyn, who will report all access and behind-the-scenes at the glamorous pageant, arrives Tuesday, the same day that The Donald will be center stage at the CNN presidential debate at the Venetian. Tonight, the billionaire holds a Las Vegas welcome rally at Westgate Las Vegas’ event center.
Meantime, it was announced today that Seal, The Band Perry and Charlie Puth will perform during the pageant on Sunday.
