Overview
- Bosch, 25, won the 74th Miss Universe title in Nonthaburi, with Thailand’s Praveenar Singh as first runner-up, followed by Venezuela, the Philippines and Ivory Coast.
- Her victory followed a viral pre-pageant incident in which Thai director Nawat Itsaragrisil berated her on camera; MUO restricted his participation in this edition and he later apologized.
- Two judges resigned days before the final, with Omar Harfouch alleging a pre-selection of finalists; MUO rejected the claim and said the referenced vote was for a separate Beyond the Crown program.
- After the final, Harfouch escalated accusations by calling Bosch a “fake winner” and alleging undisclosed business ties; MUO denied the assertions and said protocols were followed.
- Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry was hospitalized after a preliminaries fall; organizers said she had no broken bones, and later updates from her team said she remains in ICU under close monitoring.
