According to the old holders of the Miss Universe Puerto Rico Organization, Desiree Lowry and Luis Vigoreaux, the reason for her dismissal was that she was not feeling well due to a personal incident occurred that morning with her family and she did not wanted to be interviewed on camera at that specific time.

Caride later wrote a public letter apologizing to the journalist and explained to the organization she had been going through personal problems and was having a difficult day. Shortly afterwards, Lowry and the organization's franchise owner Luisito Vigoreaux issued a press release claiming that because Caride was not fulfilling her contractual obligations as Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 by missing multiple public appearances she would be replaced by Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 first runner-up Brenda Jiménez.

On 13 September 2016, the Puerto Rican court announced its decision ruling against Caride and her claim to the crown and title. Her crown and title were forfeited and awarded to first runner-up Brenda Jiménez of Aguadilla to represent at Miss Universe 2016.
