Chaos erupted at Miss Universe Thailand 2025 as contestants staged a dramatic walk-out after a heated clash between organisers and Miss Mexico on stage.
At what was expected to be a celebratory opening for the 74th edition of Miss Universe 2025 in Thailand, organisers were instead faced with a full-scale walk-out by contestants after a heated altercation with a senior official. The incident has sparked intense debate about power dynamics and respect within the pageant world.
The drama unfolded during a sashing ceremony when Nawat Itsaragrisil, a Thailand-based pageant executive, publicly reprimanded Fátima Bosch (Miss Mexico) over allegations related to a promotional shoot. The confrontation, captured on live-stream, quickly led several delegates to leave in solidarity.
Among those who walked out was reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, who later addressed the media: “We have respect for everyone, but this is not how things should be handled. To trash another girl is beyond disrespectful.”
The incident has triggered broader discussions around contestant treatment, transparency and organisational accountability in major pageants. A source stated that the pageant’s leadership has moved to “limit the official’s involvement” while reviewing the events of the day.
As the pageant continues toward its final coronation night, all eyes are on how the organisers respond and whether this crisis will overshadow the celebration of global sisterhood and empowerment that Miss Universe purports to represent.
