Nawat Itsaragrisil, the Executive Director of the Miss Universe Organisation, has been dismissed from the 2025 pageant after humiliating Miss Mexico, Fatima Bosch.
The incident occurred during a pre-pageant ceremony in Thailand, where Itsaragrisil called Bosch “dumb” for not posting promotional content on her social media platform.
Miss Universe President Raúl Rocha announced Itsaragrisil’s dismissal, stating, “I have restricted Nawat’s participation in the events that are part of the 74th Miss Universe competition.
I won’t let the values of respect and dignity of women be violated.” Bosch described Itsaragrisil’s action as “disrespectful and undermining” and walked out of the event alongside several contestants from other countries in solidarity. Itsaragrisil has since apologized for his actions.
