Over 120 women from around the globe convened in Thailand, all competing for the prestigious Miss Universe crown, one of the \u201cbig four\u201d international beauty pageants.<\/p>

However, the lead-up to the event has been overshadowed by behind-the-scenes drama involving the glamorous contestants and their Thai organizers, sparking a feminist controversy that even caught the attention of Mexico\u2019s president.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On Tuesday, Mexican contestant F\u00e1tima Bosch made a striking exit\u2014still in her evening gown and heels\u2014after being sharply criticized by Miss Universe host Nawat Itsaragrisil during a meeting.<\/p>

During a livestream of the incident, Nawat appeared to target Miss Mexico, reportedly calling her a \u201cdumbhead\u201d amid a disagreement over her alleged failure to share promotional posts on social media. He has since denied making that remark.<\/p>

After Nawat summoned security, Bosch walked out, accompanied by Miss Iraq, who was dressed in an ornate, floor-length gown.<\/p>

\u201cThe way your director treated me was disrespectful\u2014he called me dumb,\u201d Bosch told reporters. \u201cThe world needs to witness this because we are strong, empowered women, and this stage is meant to amplify our voices.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

During a live broadcast of the incident, Nawat appeared to single out Miss Mexico, allegedly referring to her as a \u201cdumbhead\u201d during a dispute over claims that she hadn\u2019t shared certain promotional content on social media. Nawat has since denied using that term.<\/p>

After he called for security, Bosch exited the venue, accompanied by Miss Iraq, who was wearing an elaborate, full-length gown.<\/p>

\u201cThe behavior of your director was disrespectful\u2014he called me stupid,\u201d Bosch told reporters. \u201cPeople need to see this because we are confident, empowered women, and this platform is supposed to elevate our voices.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Mexican Embassy in Thailand announced on Facebook that it remains in regular contact<\/em> with Bosch and her family but declined to provide additional details.<\/p>

At the same time, Nawat\u2019s conduct has drawn public criticism from the Miss Universe Organization.<\/p>

\u201cI will not tolerate any actions that compromise the principles of respect and dignity for women,\u201d declared President Raul Rocha in an emphatic address.<\/p>

He went on to say that Nawat \u201chas lost sight of what it truly means to be a gracious host,\u201d accusing him of \u201cpublicly aggressive behavior\u201d and noting that his involvement in the competition would now be restricted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Later, Nawat appeared at a press conference dressed in a tuxedo, visibly emotional as he dramatically wiped away tears with a handkerchief, saying he felt \u201cbetrayed.\u201d<\/p>

Despite the controversy, he took center stage at the pageant\u2019s opening ceremony, appearing remorseful before a crowd of smiling contestants as he delivered an apology.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m only human,\u201d he told them. \u201cThe pressure can be overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI never meant to hurt anyone. I have great respect for all of you, and I sincerely apologize.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This isn\u2019t the first time the Thai business magnate \u2014 who also heads the Miss Grand International (MGI) pageant \u2014 has found himself at the center of a drama worthy of a soap opera.<\/p>

Just last year, MGI contestants expressed outrage after being made to sit on plastic chairs and snack on peanuts during what was supposed to be a lavish river cruise in Cambodia.<\/p>

Even prior to the clash with Miss Mexico, this year\u2019s Miss Universe event had already been surrounded by controversy.<\/p>

According to Thai media, police launched an inquiry after contestants were accused of recording videos at their hotel featuring pillows emblazoned with the logo of an online casino \u2014 an act that could violate Thailand\u2019s stringent gambling laws.<\/p>

If no further issues arise, the pageant\u2019s grand finale is scheduled to take place on November 21 in Nonthaburi province.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
