On November 12, 2015, Betancourt participated and was crowned by her predecessor, Reina Rojas, as Miss Sports Venezuela 2015. This earned her the right to represent Venezuela in Miss Supranational 2015.[4][5]

She represented Venezuela in the Miss Supranational 2015 beauty pageant, which was held on December 4, 2015 at the Municipal Sports and Recreation Center MOSIR, in Krynica-Zdrój, Poland. For her typical costume Hyser chose an allegory referring to the Dancing Devils of Yare. Betancourt did not qualify in the group of semifinalists.[6][7][8]

Controversies

[edit]

In January 2016, Hyser was romantically involved with the former president of the Central Bank of Venezuela, Nelson Merentes.[9] Merentes was robbed of a large amount of dollars at his residence, located in La Guaira, to which Hyser was linked. Although other versions would point to a cousin of Betancourt.[10]

In addition to this, it would be mentioned that alleged surgical procedures to which the young woman had undergone were financed with Venezuelan public funds managed by Merentes.[11]
