Miss Universe Jamaica Injured: Organization Issues Update
8 Dec
Summary
- Miss Jamaica suffered a severe stage fall, resulting in critical injuries.
- The Miss Universe Organization is covering all medical and repatriation expenses.
- Allegations of blame towards Miss Jamaica by pageant staff were denied.
Miss Jamaica, Dr. Gabrielle Henry, is preparing to return home following a severe stage fall during the Miss Universe preliminary competition on November 19, 2025. The incident resulted in an intracranial hemorrhage, loss of consciousness, and multiple facial injuries, necessitating intensive care and continuous specialist supervision in Bangkok.
The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) has stated it is covering all hospital, medical, and rehabilitation expenses for Dr. Henry. They have also provided accommodation for her family and are funding her medically escorted repatriation flight, committing to all future medical costs related to the incident.
The MUO has strongly denied any media reports suggesting Dr. Henry contributed to the fall, asserting their full support and refuting claims of blame. Meanwhile, contestant Melissa Sapini alleged that pageant leadership initially attributed the fall to Henry not paying attention, a claim the MUO disputes.
