Nawat Itsaragrisil sorry after Miss Universe bets walked out at sashing event
Miss Universe Thailand head Nawat Itsaragrisil apologized after confronting Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch over a sponsored shoot, which led to her and other delegates walking out of the sashing ceremony.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 4, in Thailand during a livestreamed event where some delegates left the conference hall while Nawat was speaking.
Nawat explained on TikTok that several delegates allegedly refused to film videos for pageant sponsors, contributing to "daily problems" he has faced with the competition for three consecutive days.
He noted the absence of Miss Universe Organization officials in Thailand at the time of the incident.
Nawat reiterated his commitment to providing "five-star service" and creating a historic Miss Universe pageant, acknowledging that various conditions can arise.
He plans to meet with MUO executives to discuss the incident and has apologized to the delegates who remained during the ceremony.
