Nawat Itsaragrisil bows to Miss Universe org, cancels ‘Top 10 Special Dinner’
Miss Universe Thailand (MUT) has canceled its "Top 10 Special Dinner & Talk Show" event after the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) declared it unauthorized.
The MUO stated that any use of the Miss Universe name, logo, or branding without prior written authorization violates intellectual property rights and brand integrity.
Voting for the event, which would have determined participation, has been canceled, meaning votes like Miss Universe Philippines Ahtisa Manalo's 1.6 million Facebook likes will go to waste.
Sponsors expressed concerns and discomfort, leading them to suspend their support for the event.
MUT National Director Nawat Itsaragrisil, whose company also mounts the rival Miss Grand International pageant, bowed to the MUO's statement.
MUT apologized to fans for the inconvenience and reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all delegates.
