Overview
- Miss Universe President Raúl Rocha said Nawat’s participation in the 74th competition has been restricted and that corporate and legal actions will follow.
- The confrontation occurred during a livestreamed meeting in Thailand where he appeared to single out Fátima Bosch and call her a “dumbhead” over social media promotions.
- Bosch exited in her evening gown and high heels, with Miss Iraq and reigning Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig among those showing support, according to reports.
- Nawat later delivered tearful apologies, saying he did not intend to harm anyone and expressing respect for the contestants.
- The Nov. 21 final in Thailand remains scheduled with more than 120 delegates, while Mexico’s president publicly praised Bosch for speaking out.
