Personal life

edit

Currently, Čukić is working at a fashion agency in New York City. She began her career in the fashion industry as a model and represented Bar at the Miss Montenegro pageant (Crna Gora) in 2014.[1]

Miss Montenegro 2014

edit

In 2014, Čukić placed as the 1st Runner-up at the Miss Montenegro pageant where the winner, Natasa Novaković, competed as Miss Montenegro World 2014.[2][3]

In 2013, Montenegro withdrew at Miss Universe after Nikoleta Jovanović pulled out from the pageant. Montenegro also did not compete the following year at Miss Universe 2014 either. In late 2014, Čukić was appointed as Miss Universe Montenegro 2015 and competed at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant, marking the country's return.

Miss Universe 2015

edit

Čukić represented Montenegro at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant on 20 December 2015. She was one of the candidates who pushed and disrespected the winner, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines. She deleted her social media accounts due to the fear of receiving hate from her bashers. Even the Miss Montenegro Universe Organization condemned the attitude she displayed towards Miss Universe 2015. Up to this day, Maja Čukić doesn't have an active project. Brands and producers declined booking her as a model or a talent due to her bad attitude.
