This year's Miss Universe competition, held in Bangkok, was marred by a series of dramatic incidents, from a contestant's livestreamed walkout to a now former judge's allegations of rigging.

In its 74-year history, the Miss Universe pageant has faced numerous scandals, from women losing their crowns to the wrong winner being named onstage.

Omar Harfouch has waged allegations against the Miss Universe Organization after he publicly dropped out of the selection committee earlier this week. Now, the resigned judge claims he correctly predicted that Mexico's Fátima Bosch would win the pageant 24 hours before she was crowned.

When the golden crown studded with diamonds and pearls is placed on the head of the new Miss Universe in Thailand on Friday, it will mark the end of an exceptionally chaotic edition.

Gabrielle Henry, aka Miss Jamaica, was missing from the end of the 2025 Miss Universe pageant, after an earlier incident sent her to the hospital.

Pageant director Nawat Itsaragrisil, the co-owner of the Miss Universe organization, was caught on a November 4 livestream admonishing Bosch in front of fellow contestants, calling her “dumb” and telling her to be quiet and “keep polite.”
