Miss Universe Contestants Walk Out After Insult to Miss Mexico
Several Miss Universe contestants left a pre-pageant event following a tense confrontation between Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch and pageant executive Nawat Itsaragrisil.
Conflict Over Promoting Host Country
The incident began when Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch declined executive Itsaragrisil's request for all contestants to promote Thailand on their social media. He insisted,
“You are in Thailand. You are in a game.”
Escalation During Photo Shoot Request
The disagreement intensified during a photo shoot about Thailand. Itsaragrisil demanded a verbal confirmation from Bosch to share a promotional post. When she tried to explain her position, he accused her of following Miss Mexico’s directors rather than his Miss Universe team and insulted her by calling her a
“dummy.”
When asked why she remained standing after being told to sit, Bosch responded:
“Because I have a voice. You’re not respecting me as a woman.”
Contestants Protest and Security Called
Other contestants protested loudly against Itsaragrisil’s behavior, who then called for security to remove Bosch. As she left, Bosch said to Itsaragrisil,
“As women, you need to show respect for us.”
The event highlighted tensions over respect and expectations within the pageant environment.
