Miss Universe Executive Faces Backlash After Clash with Miss Mexico

The incident occurred on November 4 during a live-streamed Miss Universe sashing ceremony ahead of the 2025 competition in Bangkok. Despite the event’s polished appearance, tensions arose when Miss Grand International (MGI) president Nawat Itsaragrisil confronted Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch.

Conflict Over Scheduling and Conduct

Nawat accused Bosch of skipping a sponsorship shoot to participate in a Telemundo video shoot. In the heated moment, he shouted at the contestants,

“Stop. If anyone wants to continue the contest, sit down.”
Following this, Bosch left the ceremony, joined by several delegates who showed solidarity by walking out as well.

Controversial Remarks and Reactions

In a later clip, Nawat seemed to single out Bosch, saying everyone was welcome back

“except Mexico,”
and accused her of
“talking too much.”
This escalated criticism against him for publicly reprimanding a contestant and involving security personnel to remove her.

Response from Miss Mexico

Bosch took to TikTok to present her perspective, accusing the MGI president of disrespect, fueling the ongoing controversy surrounding the event.

Summary: The dispute between Miss Grand International's president and Miss Mexico during the Miss Universe 2025 sashing ceremony sparked widespread criticism over respect and conduct in the pageant world.
