Andrea Radford anunció el 25 de agosto de 2024 que esperaba su primer bebé y dejó de representar a Guatemala en Miss Universo 2024. Los primeros informes describieron su salida como una renuncia; tres días después, Radford dijo que había sido destituida. Ana Gabriela Villanueva Jolón, primera finalista, ocupó su lugar.
Qué ocurrió con Andrea Radford
Radford había sido coronada Miss Universe Guatemala 2024 el 7 de julio. El 25 de agosto anunció en redes sociales que estaba embarazada. En el video descrito por El Universo, se quitó la corona y la colocó junto a una ecografía. Dijo: “Quiero compartirles que mi universo ha cambiado. Estoy a punto de embarcarme en un viaje, igual de maravilloso y bendecido, el de ser madre”.
Al día siguiente, la cobertura informó que la organización nacional respaldaba a Radford, pero consideraba que no podía cumplir los compromisos requeridos por el cargo y designó a Villanueva, primera finalista, como nueva representante. Según ese mismo informe, Villanueva fue coronada el 25 de agosto.
¿Renunció o fue destituida?
La cobertura inicial del 26 de agosto presentó el cambio como una renuncia. Sin embargo, en una entrevista televisiva publicada por El Universo el 29 de agosto, Radford sostuvo que la habían destituido y que la decisión de reemplazarla fue unilateral de la organización nacional. También afirmó: “La organización (de Miss Universo) dijo que sí podía participar”.

Las versiones no quedan conciliadas en la información disponible: los primeros reportes describen la salida como renuncia y Radford posteriormente la caracterizó como destitución. No se publicaron en las fuentes consultadas documentos independientes de ambas organizaciones que resuelvan la discrepancia. Por ello, es más preciso hablar de un cambio de representante y atribuir a Radford su afirmación de que fue destituida, en lugar de dar por establecido que renunció voluntariamente.
Quién representó finalmente a Guatemala
Ana Gabriela Villanueva Jolón, primera finalista del certamen nacional, sustituyó a Radford. El registro oficial de Miss Universe Guatemala, consultado el 8 de octubre de 2026, incluye a Villanueva como representante de 2024. Ese registro confirma quién ocupó el lugar, pero no aclara cómo se produjo la salida de Radford.

Qué se sabe sobre el embarazo y la elegibilidad
El anuncio del embarazo precedió al cambio de representante, pero las fuentes citadas no prueban que el embarazo, por sí solo, impidiera a Radford competir en el certamen internacional. La explicación inicial de la organización nacional, según la cobertura, se refirió a los compromisos del cargo; Radford, por su parte, dijo que Miss Universo le había comunicado que sí podía participar. La controversia documentada se centra en la decisión de sustituirla y en cómo describir su salida, no en una conclusión verificada sobre su elegibilidad internacional.
