Miss Universe assures 2025 pageant still on amid pre-sashing incident
The 74th Miss Universe pageant in Thailand is proceeding as scheduled following a dispute between the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) and the local host, Miss Universe Thailand (MUT).
The conflict began when MUT's national director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, publicly addressed issues with contestants' compliance with promotional activities and sponsors.
Itsaragrisil singled out Mexico's candidate, Fatima Bosch, leading to a walkout by reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjaer Theilvig and several other contestants.
The incident caused concern among fans about the pageant's continuation, prompting an immediate statement from MUO reaffirming its commitment to the event.
MUO emphasized its collaboration with the host community, Miss Grand International Organization, and local partners to ensure the pageant's success.
