Miss Jamaica Falls Off Stage in Shocking Miss Universe Moment
19 Nov
Summary
- Miss Jamaica fell off the stage during the Miss Universe preliminary gown round.
- She sustained minor wounds and is stable, receiving treatment in Bangkok.
- The incident occurred amidst other controversies surrounding the pageant.
During the Miss Universe preliminary evening gown round in Thailand, Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, took a startling fall off the stage. Social media videos documented the incident, showing the 28-year-old physician stumbling and falling. The Miss Universe Organization confirmed she is in stable condition with minor wounds and is being treated at a Bangkok hospital.
This dramatic fall occurs while the 74th Miss Universe pageant is already surrounded by several controversies. Earlier in November, the Miss Universe Thailand director faced backlash for calling Miss Mexico 'stupid,' leading to sanctions against him. Most recently, a judge withdrew, citing a lack of transparency and a 'disrespectful conversation' with pageant president Raúl Rocha Cantú.
Dr. Henry, a physician and advocate, was expected to compete on November 21st. Despite the fall and her current hospitalization for observation, pageant president Cantú assured she has no broken bones and is receiving good care.
