Overview
- Organization president Raúl Rocha announced that Nawat Itsaragrisil’s role is limited to none for this year after he publicly berated Fátima Bosch during a bands event in Bangkok.
- Rocha postponed the bands ceremony, ordered corporate and legal measures, and said Miss Universe values of respect and dignity are non‑negotiable.
- A senior team led by CEO Mario Búcaro and executive Ronald Day is being dispatched to Thailand to assume full control of the concentration and logistics.
- Fátima Bosch confirmed she will continue competing and received official support from Miss Universo México and numerous public figures.
- Itsaragrisil issued emotional public apologies, in some instances without naming Bosch; social media solidarity for the Mexican candidate surged as preparations continue toward the November 21 final with 122 delegates.
