Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch was crowned the 2025 Miss Universe on November 21 in Thailand. The win comes following an internal dispute between Fatima and the competition's Thailand director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, on November 4. The Daily Star reported that a clip went viral of the latter allegedly calling her a "dumb" and reprimanding her for not posing promotional content. The news outlet reported that after she objected, Nawat reportedly asked security to escort her out of the room. Shortly after, Fatima and some other contestants walked out of the room and called out the director's behaviour. According to People magazine, Nawat reportedly issued a public apology on his social media.From walking out to addressing the dispute, Fatima took away the crown over 100 other participants. Miss Universe organisers took to X to post the news and congratulate Fatima, describing her "grace, strength, and radiant spirit."Netizens took to the comment section and dropped mixed reactions about the results. Some believe that the results were influenced by the organiser's behaviour towards Fatima, and contend that there were other deserving candidates. One user (@Aaron030802) wrote,"In my opinion, Olivia (Miss Côte d’Ivoire) clearly deserved the crown. The criteria were on her side, but the result felt predetermined, especially with the controversies involving Mexico. Congratulations to Miss Mexico, but this edition lost its credibility."Many users took to the comment section to claim that Olivia was deserving of the title. One netizen (@MsChel888) created an AI image of her posing as the winner and wrote,"Fixed it."Another user (@groovyaries_) echoed the feeling and wrote,"I’m all for someone standing up for themselves especially women — like yes queen u did that, but just bc she was placed in an uncomfortable situation doesn’t mean that she is deserving of the crown. Miss Cote D’lvoire & Miss Philippines were the REAL top two in our hearts!"One netizen (@Colomivan) expressed their frustration and wrote,"I’m sorry but the Miss Universe is turning into a soap opera, a circus. How did you guys not crown Cote???"Miss Mexico Fatima Bosch crowned as Miss Universe 2025 following controversies View this post on Instagram Instagram PostMiss Mexico Fatima Bosch took away the crown at the 74th instalment of the Miss Universe beauty pageant.
