Miss Universe Judge Questions Results After Coaching Scandal

Questions surrounding the integrity of the Miss Universe 2025 pageant have surfaced following the crowning of Miss Mexico as the winner. A judge, appointed just days before the event, has publicly voiced concerns about the fairness of the voting process. This comes amid a backdrop of controversy, including the withdrawal of previous judges and the revelation of potential conflicts of interest.

It has emerged that the judge, who won Miss Universe in 2005, had a prior professional relationship with one of the contestants, Miss Canada, having personally coached her. This connection has cast a shadow over her role in the selection committee. The judge expressed her dismay on social media, highlighting the absence of an independent auditor and sealed results, a procedure she stated was in place during her own championship year.
