‘sMothered’ Star Gabriella Vigorito Speaks Out After Pageant Loss: ‘They Did Not Want Me to Win’ </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-7_30″>Gabriella and Catherine don’t just dress alike. They sometimes work together, as when they both walked the runway wearing Rian Fernandez gowns during New York Fashion Week in February 2024. </p>
<p id=”par-8_25″>Gabriella referenced her runway experience during a controversial April 2024 <a href=”https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriella_vigorito/video/7358576229290626346?lang=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TikTok</a> where she vented about failing to place in this year’s <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/smothered-season-5-gabriella-win-miss-connecticut-usa.html/”>Miss Connecticut USA pageant</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-9_50″>“I was on a reality tv show, I was the face of the show, I went on a national media tour, I walked in New York Fashion Week with Miss Universe,” she said in the video. “And I’m not good enough to make a top 5 in Miss Connecticut USA?” </p>
<p id=”par-10_42″>Catherine won the Miss Connecticut USA title in 1988 and went on to compete in the Miss USA pageant. Though Gabriella has previously placed in the Miss Connecticut USA pageant, she’s been unable to replicate her mom’s success, much to her frustration. </p>
<p id=”par-11_35″>“When you have a certain level of status, I guess they don’t want you to win,” she said. “They did not want me to win and they did not want me to have more success.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_27″>“It’s not like there was crazy competition. Connecticut is not a big pageant state,” Gabriella added before declaring she was would no longer compete in the pageant. </p>
<p id=”par-13_20″>“If they didn’t want me this year, they’re not going to want me next year,” she said. “So we’re done.” </p>
