The Miss Universe 2025 pageant has taken an unexpected turn after several contestants reportedly staged a walkout from a pre-pageant ceremony in Thailand. The dramatic protest was sparked by a heated incident involving Miss Mexico, Fatima Bosch, and Thai pageant official, Nawat Itsaragrisil, who allegedly insulted her during the event.
According to reports, the confrontation began when Nawat called out Bosch for not posting promotional content related to the event on her social media. In what many described as an unnecessary outburst, he allegedly referred to her as “dumb” in front of other contestants. The insult reportedly left Bosch stunned, and when she tried to defend herself, Nawat called security and threatened to disqualify anyone who sided with her.
The situation quickly escalated as Bosch decided to walk out of the venue in protest, with several contestants joining her in solidarity. Videos circulating online show Bosch speaking emotionally outside the event venue, expressing her disappointment with the incident while maintaining her respect for the Thai people. “As a country, you have all my respect. I truly love Thailand. But what your director did is not respectful. He called me dumb and told me to shut up. I think the world needs to see this because we are empowered women. This is a platform for our voice,” she said.
The incident has since gone viral, sparking outrage among fans of the global beauty pageant. Many have called for an official apology from the Miss Universe Thailand organizers, describing Nawat’s behavior as unprofessional and disrespectful. Others praised Fatima Bosch for standing her ground and speaking out against mistreatment.
As tensions continue to rise, fans are wondering whether the controversy will affect the main Miss Universe event, set to take place later this month in Bangkok.
