Colombian artist J. Balvin pulled out of the Miss USA pageant on Wednesday over Donald Trump's recent comments about Mexicans and Latins. Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization in partnership with NBCUniversal, sparked controversy in his announcement to seek the GOP presidential bid when he addressed immigration from Mexico and suggested the country--along with Latin America--was sending "crime," "drugs" and "rapists." Balvin was scheduled to appear with Flo Rida, Natalie La Rose and Craig Wayne Boyne at the contest, which airs July 12 on NBC.
