Doron Matalan posted a selfie with Miss Lebanon Saly Greige, Miss Slovenia and Miss Japan on Jan. 11, people were outraged due to their feuding countries. Saly revealed “the truth behind the photo” and completely dissed her fellow Miss Universe competitor.

After Doron posted the pic of the smiling girls on her Instagram, which frankly is so adorable, Saly posted the exact same photo on her Instagram — but with Doron cropped out. She attempts to explain why the pic was taken in the first place, dissing Doron.

"To all my supporters and Lebanese citizens, I would like to thank you indeed for your continuous support of Miss Lebanon at the Miss Universe contest… The truth behind the photo, since the first day of my arrival to participate to Miss universe,I was very cautious to avoid being in any photo or communication with Miss isreal, who tried several times to take a photo with me. I was having a photo with Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia, suddenly Miss Israel jumped in and took a selfie, and uploaded it on her social media. This is what happened and I hope to have your full support in the Miss Universe contest."
