As an athlete participating in beauty pageants, Michele has faced criticism for her strong legs, which do not fit the criteria of beauty pageants. Regarding this issue, she said: “Transforming from a professional volleyball player to competing in beauty pageants, I was mercilessly criticized for my muscular and large legs. My legs were too big, they said so. 

Honestly, instead of feeling insecure, I see those comments as a battle of choice. I remind myself, these legs have helped me fight for many years in intense volleyball matches, helping me jump, play and win.”
