What happened to Miss Universe Mexico? Here's what to know about the controversy

On November 4, Nawat Itsaragrisil publicly reprimanded Fatima Bosch during a sashing ceremony in Bangkok, calling her `dumb` and ordering security after she pushed back on the treatment.
Itsaragrisil said Bosch had skipped local promo obligations, noting she missed a sponsor shoot and joined Telemundo filming during Miss Grand International events.
Several contestants immediately walked out, including reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig and delegates from Armenia, Canada, Palestine, Bahamas, Cape Verde, Spain, Belize, Bolivia and Bulgaria, while Fatima Bosch posted a TikTok with over 375,600 views criticizing the director's disrespectful remarks.
The Miss Universe Organization said it reaffirms respect and safety, with CEO Mario Bucaro leading a delegation to Thailand to ensure a secure, professional environment.
MUO said it will push the 74th Miss Universe pageant later this month, with coronation night on November 21 where Ahtisa Manalo hopes to win the Philippines' fifth title.
