Nawat Itsaragrisil, Executive Director of the Miss Universe Organisation, has been dismissed from the 2025 pageant after a humiliating incident involving Mexico’s representative, Fatima Bosch.
During a pre-pageant ceremony in Thailand, Nawat called Bosch “dumb” for not posting promotional content on her social media platform, sparking widespread outrage.
However, responding to the incident, the President of Miss Universe, Raúl Rocha, in an Instagram video, announced that Nawat Itsaragrisil has been sanctioned and dismissed from this year’s pageant.
Speaking in Spanish, the Miss Universe president said, “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.”
