Israeli singer and Eurovision winner Netta Barzilai has reportedly refused to perform at the Miss Universe contest taking part this year in Eilat, due to its objectification of women.
Barzilai, who has become an outspoken body-positive advocate, says she won’t perform at the competition because it “judges women according to their body,” according to Channel 13 news.
