Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, the Danish model recently crowned Miss Universe, is being heavily criticized on social media after a video surfaced of her saying a racist word.

The 21-year-old model posted a clip of her lip-syncing Jay-Z’s song *Empire State of Mind* on her TikTok profile. In the 20-second video, filmed atop the Empire State Building, Victoria can be heard saying the “n-word,” a racial slur in English.

“I can’t believe I’m witnessing this in real time,” commented one TikTok user. “Girl, WHAT?!”, said another. “Hey, this is crazy,” commented a third. “They’re going to take that crown away from her,” wrote another user.

Theilvig won the 73rd edition of Miss Universe earlier this month in Mexico City, competing against over 120 other contestants. She is the first Danish woman to win the title.
