Miss Universe leadership has removed Thai executive Nawat Itsaragrisil from the 2025 competition following an incident where he publicly criticized contestant Fatima Bosch from Mexico. The organization head allegedly called Bosch unintelligent during pre-pageant activities in Thailand after she failed to share promotional material on social media platforms.
Bosch departed the event with several other international contestants who supported her response to what she characterized as disrespectful treatment. Raúl Rocha, the competition president, announced restrictions barring Itsaragrisil from participating in the 74th annual pageant. Rocha stated through a video message that protecting female dignity and maintaining respectful standards remained non-negotiable organizational priorities.
