Miss Universe Thailand is the latest perpetrator of the misguided social media statement that leads to a swift downfall. Weluree "Fai" Ditsayabut announced she was renouncing her title on Monday, after a series of controversial Twitter and Facebook posts.

When she was elected in May as Thailand's representative for the Miss Universe competition, an old, yet incendiary, Facebook post started making the rounds. In the post, the 22-year-old wrote that she was "so angry at all these evil activists," referring to the "red-shirt" supporters of ousted prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, and added that "they should all be executed," according to The Phuket News.

More recently, as criticism mounted, she fired back on Twitter at commenters who criticized her with derisive, expletive-laden responses. "Animal! Women with big breasts are f*#%ing halfway to victory," she wrote, among other things, to those who insulted her weight, according to The Bangkok Post.

On Monday, she gave up her crown during a press conference in Bangkok, appearing to worry about the increasingly negative effects on her and her family.

"I've made this decision on my own," she said, according to The Bangkok Post. "At first, my family was happy for me when I was crowned. But there's no more happiness following waves of criticism from the society."

Pro-government supporters criticized Ditsayabut on online forums and social media, even launching a Facebook page to protest her victory, both for her political positions as well as her appearance or alleged connections, according to CNN.

The Thai military recently took control of the country in a coup after months of violent protests. This is the latest episode in a decade-long conflict between the royalist establishment and supporters of Shinawatra, who was forced to step down in May when the country's constitutional court found her guilty of abusing her power. Her brother Thaksin, who was prime minister from 2001 to 2006, is in exile after corruption charges surfaced.

The deposed beauty queen, for her part, appears to have since deleted the offending social media posts.
