Overview
- Miss Universe Thailand posted on Dec. 3 that the Miss Grand International president says he lodged a criminal defamation complaint in Thailand on Nov. 12 over Bosch’s public comments.
- The statement disputes reports that he called Bosch a “dumbhead,” asserting audio shows he said “damage,” and it warns that further legal action could target media that repeat alleged false claims.
- Bosch has denied wrongdoing in recent interviews, saying she felt scared during the Nov. 4 exchange and maintaining that she did not violate rules or benefit from impropriety.
- Miss Haiti Melissa Sapini publicly called for an independent, external investigation, saying she witnessed the confrontation, rejects the language‑barrier explanation, and views the legal move as an attempt to silence Bosch.
- The episode compounds wider concerns around the 2025 pageant, including judge resignations and reported health and backstage issues, and MUO previously restricted Itsaragrisil’s participation after the incident.
