Overview
- Miss Universe president Raúl Rocha said he commissioned CEO Mario Búcaro to meet with Thai attorneys and confirmed Nawat Itsaragrisil’s role at events has been curtailed.
- Nawat issued a public apology and cited pressure, though he disputes translations of his remarks captured on video during the confrontation with Fátima Bosch.
- A sponsor activation with Kathy Labz featured a group interview in which Bosch was not asked a question, drawing online criticism, even as the brand later shared content featuring her.
- Several contestants, including reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, walked out in solidarity after the initial incident, and Mexico’s embassy in Thailand said it remains in contact with Bosch and her family.
- Media reports, citing a journalist and Infobae, allege Nawat reported gambling-linked sponsors, prompting Thai police detentions of Mexican staff; these accounts have not been confirmed by Miss Universe or authorities.
