At the 2014 Miss Universe pageant, Paulina Vega's response to what women could learn from men brought criticism to the now-crowned pageant star.

While visiting "Nuestra Belleza Latina," Vega was interviewed by Rodner Figueroa of "Sal y Pimienta" and was asked to answer the question again, now that there is no pressure.

"What can women learn from men?" Figueroa asked, admitting that after he heard her response, he thought she lost the crown.

"Nothing," Vega said. "Nothing. Call me a feminist. Kidding. Kidding. Kidding. Don't take everything to heart."

Vega said her second question, which allowed her to talk about Colombia, helped her clinch the win.

"When I talk about my country, I have lots of certainty and conviction," she said. "I love the question because I always want to leave that message in front of everyone."

After she won the crown, there were immediately rumors that Vega had broken up with her boyfriend. Figueroa also asked her about this, and Vega said that the rumor is not true.

Figueroa said that many beauty queens on the Univision show end up breaking up with their boyfriends after winning, and then, marry someone else.

"I'm still here very in love," she said.

Vega said that though "Nuestra Belleza Latina" is very different from a typical beauty pageant, she will try to give the women some advice and hopes the contestants are able to use it in some way.

Vega recently addressed the Miss Universe controversy. When Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell was named fourth runner up, people booed because they wanted her to place higher. Vega told El Diario that the boos were not as loud as they seemed.

"The FIU auditorium is super small, so any yell was heard as though it were the entire auditorium. People believe that it was 95 percent of the auditorium, but it wasn't like that," she said. "I think no one thought Jamaica was going to be the first called in the top five, but I think that she is also happy being a top five finalist. It turned into something sad when the whole world should be proud and happy about what Jamaica did."
