Overview
- Miss Universe Thailand posted a police report stating Nawat Itsaragrisil filed a criminal complaint in Bangkok on Nov. 12 accusing Fátima Bosch of defamatory statements.
- MGI and MUT deny he insulted Bosch during the Nov. 4 confrontation, asserting audio shows he said “damage,” and they warned of further legal action against Bosch and media that repeat what they call false claims.
- Bosch defended her conduct and title in new TV interviews, telling CNN she feared disqualification after the filmed walkout but spoke up based on her values and insists her win was earned.
- Miss Haiti Melissa Queenie Sapini publicly called for an independent, external investigation, citing contested judging, backstage illness reports and claims of preselected finalists, which the organization has disputed.
- The controversy continues to draw scrutiny of Miss Universe leadership as separate reporting highlights legal investigations involving co-owner Raúl Rocha, which he and the organization say are unrelated to Bosch’s crowning.
