Cuban-Venezuelan Maria Conchita Alonso may lose her citizenship from the country where she grew up.

Authorities announced on Wednesday that steps have been taken to strip the 1975 Miss Venezuela of her Venezuelan citizenship, notes the Associated Press. Alonso is very against the government.

Alons first spoke out on Twitter, where she said that she found out that someone was trying to take her citizenship and that all these people represented was communism.

In an interview with Patricia Janiot for "Conclusiones," she opened up about the situation.

"It's very ugly and sad that they would want to take someone's nationality away," she said.

She defended herself and said she was no traitor. Instead, she said that people who are Chavistas and communists are the real traitors, as well as those that let Cuba invade Venezuela.

She added that Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro was really Colombian, and therefore an illegitimate president. Alonso said that Venezuelan communists bombard and kill.

Alonso was born in Cuba but moved to Venezuela at age 5. She explained that she loves both Venezuela and Cuba, and that she uses an American passport to travel.

Her interview was trending in Venezuela on Wednesday with the hashtag #ConcluMCA.

Alonso, who was a critic of the late Hugo Chavez, has even argued with Sean Penn, who has expressed sympathy for the Chavez revolution.

In late 2011, the two were trading insults.

Penn caled Alonso a "pig" and she called him a "communist a--hole" at the Los Angeles International Airport.

According to Alonso, when the two saw each other, Penn said he didn't want to talk to her because she speaks badly of him. Penn accused her brother of trying to assassinate Chavez.

In a radio interview, Alonso apologized for calling him an "a--hole."

Before their confrontation, Alonso had written Penn an open letter.

"Being born in Cuba, a country where freedom of speech is nonexistent, it's startling to observe how Venezuela, where I was happily raised, is fast becoming Cuba's mirror image: Dismantling of fundamental democratic rights deserved by its people and citizens of the world," she said.
