The reigning beauty queen explains why she left the Miss Universe 2025 event.

(Dan Tri) - The sash awarding ceremony of the Miss Universe 2025 pageant took place in a noisy atmosphere, causing many contestants, including the reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, to leave. She spoke up to express her opinion.

On the afternoon of November 14, the sash awarding ceremony of the Miss Universe 2025 pageant could not be completed due to a tense argument between Mr. Nawat - representative of the Miss Universe Thailand Organization (MUT) - and some contestants.

After the event, reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig spoke up on her personal page, sending a strong message: “This is a woman's right. I'm sorry, we have to do something bigger. We need to respect everyone, but it can't go on like this. Looking down on others is disrespectful, and that's not what I want to protect. So I chose to leave.”

The reigning beauty queen's statement quickly received support from the public. Many viewers expressed their agreement and criticized Mr. Nawat's management style.

One account commented: “Girls should be treated with respect and love. No matter what they are wearing or where they are, it is still a basic human right.”

Another audience expressed: “In just the first 3 days, the contest has had consecutive arguments between Mr. Nawat and Mr. Raul (CEO of the Miss Universe Organization), suspicions that the sponsor is involved in online gambling, and a photo shoot for a cosmetics brand. This year is probably the most stressful season.”

Many opinions called on the two organizing committees - MUT and MUO (Miss Universe Organization) - to soon sit down to resolve the conflict, ensuring the contest runs smoothly.

Fans also praised Miss Victoria, saying that she showed courage and spirit to protect women. “She is knowledgeable, calm and dedicated. Standing up to leave is a brave act to protect fairness for the contestants,” one viewer wrote.

Miss Universe 2025 takes place from November 2 to November 21, gathering more than 100 contestants from around the world. This year's competition is considered a turning point as it first accepted transgender contestants, married contestants, contestants with children, and no age limit. However, the contest soon became embroiled in a series of controversies.

On November 3, MUO and MUT argued when MUO canceled the results of the "Special Dinner and Chat" poll launched by MUT.

After Huong Giang, the representative of Vietnam, entered the leading group, the Miss Universe Organization declared this activity “invalid”. Mr. Nawat reacted strongly and accused a sponsor of MUO of being involved in online gambling activities.

On November 4, the Miss Universe Organization issued a statement confirming that the contest results were based only on the official competitions: closed interviews, national costume performance, evening gown and swimsuit.

Vietnam’s representative, Huong Giang, is the first transgender contestant from Vietnam and Asia in the history of the Miss Universe pageant. She received great attention from the very first day of the competition thanks to her confident demeanor, sophisticated fashion sense and good communication skills.

According to Missosology, Huong Giang is currently predicted to be able to enter the Top 20, along with contestants from Thailand, the Philippines, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Australia and Ivory Coast.

Victoria Kjær Theilvig (22 years old) is 1.72m tall and will be crowned Miss Universe 2024 in November 2024.

She used to be a dancer and won many international awards. The beauty is a model, businesswoman and hopes to become a lawyer in the future.

The Danish beauty was in the top 20 of Miss Grand International 2022 before being crowned Miss Universe 2024, becoming the first European representative to win in nearly a decade.

International media calls her a "living doll" thanks to her delicate beauty and confident demeanor.
