Laura Csortan raised eyebrows on Tuesday after sharing an old photo of herself posing with Donald Trump in the aftermath of his guilty verdict.
Last week, the Republican presidential candidate was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to stop porn star Stormy Daniels from going public about the pair's alleged tryst.
The photo, which was taken in 1997, features the Miss Universe Australia winner smiling alongside the former US president at the pageant in Miami.
Laura wore a stunning red dress and a flashy necklace, while Trump donned a signature red tie.
'My ol mate Don has got himself in a bit of strife,' she wrote alongside the snap. 'Throwing it way back to Miss Universe Miami.'

In 2016, Laura admitted she felt 'intimidated' and 'frightened' by the former Miss Universe owner, and said she wasn't surprised so many women came forward with allegations of sexual assault against him.
'Absolutely intimidated,' she told Morning Show hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.
'Not only that he owned this universe and he could call the shots. He could have us out of there in an instant, and you're young and you're impressionable. But at the same time, he's larger than life.'
Trump is the first US president to ever be convicted of a crime coming six months before the rematch between him and incumbent Joe Biden.
He faces sentencing on July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention begins.
Prosecutors told of a plot by Trump to 'corrupt' the 2016 election by hiding a $130,000 hush money payment by his 'fixer' Michael Cohen to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Daniels alleged that she and Trump had sex a decade earlier, which he has denied.
