Back in her hometown, a Venezuelan named Julio Matute Rodriguez went into public stating that Habach was arrogant due to having been raised in an affluent family.

In later months, Habach gained further notoriety for a video mocking Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez in a recorded video prank allegedly referring to the provincial nature of Colombians..
