Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch Crowned Miss Universe After Run-In With Pageant Executive
Fátima Bosch won Miss Universe 2025 amid judge resignations and a public dispute with the organizer; 120 countries participated in the pageant held in Bangkok.
- Fátima Bosch, Miss Mexico, was crowned Miss Universe 2025 in Nonthaburi, north of Bangkok, at the 74th final, receiving the crown from Victoria Kjær Theilvig.
- Weeks before the final, a viral Nov. 4 livestream showed Nawat Itsaragrisil scolding Bosch, prompting contestant walkouts and security intervention, while days before judge Omar Harfouch resigned alleging an 'impromptu jury' and conflicts of interest.
- After advancing through rounds, Bosch reached the Top 5 out of 120 delegates following the Top 30 and Top 12 stages, and in the final interview, she pledged to use her voice to serve others.
- The Miss Universe Organization announced limits on Nawat Itsaragrisil’s future role after Raúl Rocha Cantú condemned his behaviour, saying 'Unfortunately, Nawat has forgotten the true meaning of what it means to be a genuine host'.
- As the first winner from Tabasco, Bosch now has a larger platform to advocate for neurodiversity and the Miss Universe Organization clarified judging protocols after controversies affecting its leadership and reputation.
