CARACAS â Venezuela's former Miss Universe Alicia Machado closed her Twitter account after being mocked for confusing the Koreas with China.
Concerned by North Korea's artillery attack on a South Korean island, the 1996 beauty queen winner got muddled when tweeting for world peace via her @aliciamachado77 account.
Her gaffe unleashed a rush of insulting posts, prompting her to go offline. "I now have a lot of psychopaths on the account and it's best I start another one, kisses," she signed off, according to Venezuelan media.
Machado is no stranger to unwelcome attention.
She caused a media furor by gaining 22 pounds right after her 1996 triumph and Miss Universe organization president Donald Trump called her an "eating machine."
