Miss Universe Thailand 2025 has sparked a global controversy after the pageant director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, berated Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, publicly, leading to a walkout

Miss Universe Thailand executive Nawat Itsaragrisil broke down in tears in public while apologising for the controversy where he confronted Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch over her absence in a sponsored shoot, which led to her and other delegates walking out from the event in protest.

Miss Universe executive Nawat Itsaragrisil issued a public apology following a heated exchange with Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, that made headlines in the past few days.

Voting was to end on Wednesday, Nov. 5, and reigning queen Victoria Kjær Theilvig and host committee head Nawat Itsaragrisil were supposed to join the 10 poll leaders in the dinner. But MUO had declared that the event was “not authorized.”
