Talk about unladylike behavior. After being named runner-up in the Miss Amazon pageant, Sheislane Hayalla walked up to the winner and snatched the crown right off her head before storming off stage in a blaze of diva fury.

The crown had barely settled on Carol Toledo's head when Hayalla ripped the crown away and threw it to the ground.



Not knowing what to make of the moment, most of the other contestants watched uncomfortably as the scene played out.



As she made her exit, Hayalla paused to wave and blow kisses to the crowd.



The pageant's offices did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
