She is often in the headlines for her multiple winnings, beautiful gowns, and the recent launch of her swimwear brand.
However, this time round it is for something a lot less celebratory, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The beauty queen suffered severe burns to her face and body after her pressure cooker exploded.
Debbie, who comes from the Dominican Republic, was rushed to the hospital where she was treated for second-degree burns.
She then took to her Instagram to give a warning message about handling pressure cookers.

She said: “I was the victim of a pressure cooker explosion, which I really wouldn’t wish on anyone, it was a very traumatic moment.”
Debbie said the accident occurred when the silicone ring of the pot “flew off,” and the liquid from the pot fell on her face, abdomen, chest, and arms.
She added: “I suggest you better not use them and that if you are going to use them, be very careful.

“Leave the kitchen and come back when it is ready. Turn it off and let it sit there until it cools down.
“They are very dangerous.”
