Miss Mexico Triumphs Amid Pageant Controversy
Hey everyone, you won’t believe the rollercoaster that unfolded at the 2025 Miss Universe pageant. Fátima Bosch Fernández from Mexico has been crowned Miss Universe, but the road to the crown was anything but smooth. What started as a major controversy ended with a historic win, and it’s a story that’s already making headlines worldwide.
The drama began when Bosch, 25, was publicly scolded by the Thai national director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, for allegedly not taking part in certain promotional activities. This confrontation happened in front of other contestants and was even livestreamed, which instantly went viral. Feeling humiliated, Bosch refused to stay silent and walked out, standing her ground in a remarkable display of courage. She was even joined by last year’s winner, Denmark’s Victoria Kjær Theilvig, in a show of solidarity.

The fallout didn’t stop there. Two judges resigned in the middle of the competition, one claiming the process was rigged and even threatening legal action. The competition, which has faced criticism over declining viewership and controversies surrounding the treatment of women, suddenly became a symbol of standing up for one’s rights. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum praised Bosch, saying her courage is an example of how women should raise their voices and claim recognition for their rights.
Despite all the chaos, Bosch held her head high and delivered a stunning performance, ultimately being crowned Miss Universe. Standing beside her on the podium were Miss Thailand Praveener Singh as the first runner-up and Miss Venezuela Stephany Adriana Abasali Nasser as the second runner-up.
The pageant has a long history of controversy, and this year was no exception. Bosch’s walkout followed Nawat calling security during the confrontation, which drew widespread criticism. Eventually, Raúl Rocha Cantú, a co-owner of Miss Universe, publicly supported Bosch and condemned the mistreatment, while Nawat offered a teary apology to the contestants.
Amid all this, other dramatic moments unfolded: a Lebanese-French judge resigned citing secret votes and possible rigging, and a former French soccer star also stepped down for personal reasons. Even Jamaica’s Garbielle Henry was hospitalized after a fall during preliminaries.
So, while the night ended with celebration and Bosch proudly taking the crown, it also highlighted bigger conversations about respect, fairness, and women standing up for themselves on the global stage. Fátima Bosch Fernández’s victory will be remembered not just for her beauty and poise, but for her courage and resilience under pressure—a truly iconic Miss Universe moment.
