Overview
- Bosch won the title in Thailand, becoming the fourth Mexican winner and the first from Tabasco.
- Natalie Glebova said the contest dropped the external audit that previously verified ballots, and juror Omar Harfouch quit alleging a secret vote and a potential conflict tied to owner Raúl Rocha and the winner’s family, which he plans to detail in a 2026 HBO documentary.
- The Miss Universe Organization defended the result, and Rocha denied any manipulation, saying Harfouch was removed for not understanding the Beyond the Crown charity pillar; Rocha has held a 50% stake in MUO since 2023.
- Media reports indicate the winner’s package includes about $250,000 upfront, a $50,000 monthly salary, and a New York apartment, with MUO not publicly detailing exact figures.
- The Lumière de l’Infini crown by Jewelmer is estimated at over $5 million and remains the jeweler’s property, while Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum congratulated Bosch and called the contest questionable in several respects.
