Miss Universe 2025: Mexican Candidate Faces Public Humiliation
The Miss Universe 2025 pageant, currently being held in Thailand, has become embroiled in controversy after an incident involving the Mexican representative, Fátima Bosch.
Incident During Reception
During a formal reception attended by all contestants, Nawat Itsaragrisil, a member of the local organizing committee, reportedly insulted Bosch in public. According to witnesses and video recordings shared online, he called her an “idiot” after she explained that she had simply followed the instructions of her national committee.
The situation quickly escalated when Bosch attempted to respond. Security staff intervened, and the visibly upset contestant left the event in tears.
Contestants’ Response and Solidarity
The incident sparked a wave of solidarity among the participants. Several contestants walked out of the reception to support Fátima Bosch. Videos circulating on social media show contestants gathering outside to comfort and protect her from further distress.
Public Reaction and Statements
"More than just a lack of respect," said reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, condemning the behavior and publicly expressing her support for Bosch.
She emphasized the importance of courage and dignity in standing up against unfair treatment. Other candidates — including Miss Panama, Miss Costa Rica, Miss Palestine, and Miss Puerto Rico — also voiced their support, calling Bosch’s reaction an act of self-respect and strength.
