On November 4, Mexico's representative Fatima Bosch at Miss Universe 2025 attracted attention when she shared with the media her frustration and disappointment after an argument with Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil - Vice President of the Eastern region of the contest, which took place during a noon meeting that same day.

Fatima said she felt insulted and disrespected, with Mr Nawat calling her “stupid” and shouting “shut up” even though she had done nothing wrong. “I love Thailand very much and respect everyone here, but this is unacceptable. The world needs to know this because we are strong women and no one has the right to silence us,” she said.

The beauty affirmed that she had no personal conflicts with the crew, and still had special feelings for Thailand, this year's host country. "If someone takes away your dignity, whether you wear the crown or not, stand up and leave," she added.

The Mexican representative shared with the media after leaving the room:

Previously, in a meeting with the contestants, Mr. Nawat was said to have had a harsh attitude, asking the countries that "did not cooperate with the product promotion filming crew" to stand up and admit their mistakes, but no one responded. After that, he specifically pointed out the representative of Mexico, accusing her of refusing to post promotional images for Thailand.

The atmosphere became tense when another candidate protested, causing him to become angry, asking her to “sit down” and calling security into the room. The incident caused some candidates to cry, many left the meeting room, while Mr. Nawat loudly said: “Whoever leaves does not need to take the exam anymore.”

During the same meeting, Mr. Nawat also revealed that four Miss Universe staff were expelled for “involvement in illegal gambling promotion activities.”

Many Miss Universe contestants left:

The incident quickly caused international outrage, with many viewers expressing disappointment with Miss Universe 2025, which had been embroiled in controversy for just a few days. The specific cause has not yet been announced, and the Miss Universe Organizing Committee has yet to give an official response.
