Priscilla Meirelles is not keen on joining the Miss Universe pageant, stating that she already had her time in pageantry and wants to give others a chance to shine.

"I think it's kind of unfair [to join]. I had my time. I've been there, I've done that. I joined nine pageants. I have nine crowns, three international," the Brazilian model and actress said in an interview with Boy Abunda.

Priscilla won the Miss Earth 2004 pageant and also won the Miss Globe International 2003 pageant but never competed for Miss Universe

"I think I had my share of the cake, many slices of the cake, so I think it's time for others," she pointed out.

Instead of competing, Priscilla expressed her desire to support aspiring beauty queens by mentoring them. "I would love to contribute in other ways. Maybe supporting others to have their chance also," she said.

The Miss Universe Organization has allowed married women and those with children to participate in the pageant since 2023, starting at the 72nd edition of the pageant.

In the same interview,  Priscilla  reflected on reaching her 40s. When asked what she looks forward to in this stage of her life, she responded: "I am looking forward to traveling and to getting to know the Philippines because I love this country. There are so many beautiful places to explore."

She went on: "I am looking forward to going back to acting. I am looking forward to supporting my daughter on her adventures and endeavors. I am looking forward to growing older happy, in peace, and with the knowledge that God has my back all the time."

Priscilla also opened up about dealing with endometriosis, a condition that occurs when the tissue "similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus" as per Mayo Clinic. She underwent surgery to remove a cyst because of the said health condition.

"I decided that [tatanggalin] ko lahat ng mga pagkain na hindi maganda sa katawan ko katulad ng processed sugar," she relayed on the changes on her diet following the condition.

"Tinanggal ko rin lahat ng dairy. Kasi when I had my problem, the cyst, dairy and sugar they trigger the issue so I've decided to take out also lahat ng mga dairy because it causes inflammation sa katawan ng isang babae," she shared.
