Miss Mexico Crowned Miss Universe Amid Controversy

Miss Mexico, 25-year-old Fátima Bosch, was crowned Miss Universe on November 21st at the Impact Challenger Hall in Nonthaburi, Thailand. Her win comes shortly after a pre-pageant event saw contestants walk out due to a clash with an organizer who had publicly scolded Bosch for social media content.

This incident, which occurred on November 3rd, led to Bosch asserting her right to speak out and not be silenced, emphasizing that dignity is paramount. The Miss Universe Organization president criticized the organizer's actions, highlighting the importance of respect and dignity toward all delegates.

Despite the preceding controversy, including a judge's resignation and another contestant's hospitalization, Bosch's victory stands. She expressed her intent to leverage the Miss Universe title to foster a global safe space for women, advocating for their voices and the pursuit of change.
