The Miss Universe Organization, a co-owner of the Miss Universe pageant, has expressed support for the 2025 champion, Fátima Bosch, amid her legal conflict with organizer Nawat Itsaragrisil. The dispute began during the 2025 Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok on November 4th, when Nawat publicly challenged Bosch regarding her participation in sponsor events.
Bosch alleged that Nawat called her "dumb" during this altercation and accused him of humiliating her in front of fellow contestants. This confrontation was captured on video and subsequently went viral, with several other contestants showing solidarity by walking out in support of Bosch. Nawat denies the accusations, stating he never referred to Bosch as "dumb" or "dumbhead," but instead used the term "damage" to describe the potential consequences of her not engaging in scheduled activities.
On November 12th, Nawat filed a criminal complaint against Bosch in Thailand, alleging she had made false claims about his words in media interviews, damaging his reputation and that of Miss Grand International. Despite these allegations, Bosch maintains her version of events, recalling that Nawat attempted to publicly humiliate her and that he had tried to force her to accept a derogatory label.
