"  Weluree Ditsayabut, a 22-year-old actress and talk show host (pictured above, on her throne) won the Miss Thailand pageant last month, but resigned from her position in a tearful press conference yesterday. Prior to winning her tiara, Ditsayabut had shared her political beliefs online \u2014 last November she wrote posts criticizing supporters of the country&amp;#039;s former government, and said,\u00A0&amp;quot;Thailand&amp;#039;s soil is dirty because of anti-monarchy people like you.&amp;quot;\u00A0She also reportedly wrote that leaders of the country&amp;#039;s Red Shirt movement, and other political protest groups opposed to the monarchy/military&amp;#039;s rule, should be executed.\u00A0These statements resurfaced following her coronation, as controversial Facebook statuses often do; she has since reportedly faced &amp;quot;brutal comments&amp;quot; from those opposed to her views, and people also called her fat. During the press conference, Ditsayabut said the criticism affected not just her, but her family too, and that &amp;quot;when I saw my mom not being able to sleep at night, I couldn&amp;#039;t either.&amp;quot; Though pageants are meant to be all smiles and sparkles, she added, &amp;quot;the happiness [I] used to have has disappeared totally.&amp;quot;\u00A0In their report, The Associated Press dryly notes\u00A0she didn&amp;#039;t specify whether the criticism of her politics or weight stung worse. She will be replaced at the Miss Universe pageant by first runner-up,\u00A0Pimbongkod Chankaew (pictured above left). RELATED: Miss Nevada Wins Miss USA Follow Alex on  Twitter.
