In a recent interview with Silverbird TV, Adetshina revealed that her experience in pageantry has been traumatic. She cited personal reasons for her departure and shared her plans to relocate to Nigeria from South Africa.
“Finishing in the top 2 [at the Miss Universe competition] is still a shocker for me… Honestly, I am done. Pageantry was a real traumatic experience for me,” she said.
“People still don’t understand how I felt. There were times when I almost quit during the Miss Universe contest. I’m really done with pageantry. I want to focus on myself and establish who I am. And forward my education as well.”
After finishing as 1st runner-up at the Miss Universe competition, Adetshina was named Miss Universe Africa and Oceania.
She won Miss Nigeria after withdrawing from the Miss South Africa contest after she attracted scrutiny over her nationality.
