Miss Universe Pursues Legal Action in Thailand After Nawat Itsaragrisil’s On-Camera Reprimand of Miss Mexico

The organization curtailed the Thai director’s role following a viral incident that drew widespread support for Fátima Bosch.

Overview

  • MUO president Raúl Rocha Cantú said he instructed CEO Mario Búcaro to travel to Bangkok and coordinate with local attorneys as legal proceedings begin.
  • The organization deemed Nawat Itsaragrisil’s behavior inappropriate and confirmed his responsibilities at official events have been limited.
  • A sponsor event video showed Bosch receiving no questions during a group interview with Kathy Labz, triggering fresh online backlash toward the brand.
  • Multiple contestants, including reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, walked out in solidarity after the confrontation was captured on livestream.
  • Nawat offered an emotional public apology, while renewed coverage of earlier complaints — notably from former Miss Grand International Rachel Gupta — increased scrutiny of his conduct.
