It didn't take long for the Miss Puerto Rico Organization to criticize Velez's actions. It released a statement on Facebook that reads in part, "Miss Velez's actions were in contradiction to the organization, and therefore as a consequence of her actions, she has been suspended indefiitely."
Velez also released a statement through the organization's Facebook page. It reads in part, "The last thing I wanted to do was to bully anyone. ... I apologize to anyone who felt offended with my words."
