Throughout a November 4 assembly with the Miss Universe contestants, Nawat Itsaragrisil, who was lately named the director of Miss Thailand and host for the 74th Miss Universe competitors in Bangkok, confronted Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch and accused her of not collaborating in a promotional occasion for the pageant.
Within the change, which was captured on Miss Universe Thailand’s Facebook livestream, Itsaragrisil goes backwards and forwards with Bosch as he criticizes the Miss Mexico crew. The opposite Miss Universe contestants will be seen on the livestream, silently watching from their seats.
“In case you take heed to your director, you are a dumbhead,” Itsaragrisil seems to inform Bosch in the course of the livestream. He later informed reporters that the phrase he had used was “harm.”
“I’ve a voice,” Bosch informed Itsaragrisil after he informed her, “I didn’t give you a chance to speak.”
“You aren’t respecting me as a girl,” she added.
A number of Miss Universe contestants walked out of the room after Itsaragrisil, who additionally runs the Miss Grand Worldwide pageant, referred to as for safety to take away Bosch. The director demanded that the contestants return to their seats, saying: “If anybody desires to proceed the competition, sit down.”
Bosch in the end determined to remain within the competitors, sharing her cause in an Instagram caption. “Mexicans do not surrender as a result of giving up has by no means been a part of our historical past,” she wrote on November 6.
Representatives for Bosch, Itsaragrisil, and the Miss Universe Group didn’t reply to requests for remark.
