During the Miss Universe 2025 sashing ceremony on November 4, an unexpected conflict erupted between Miss Grand International (MGI) president Nawat Itsaragrisil and Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch. The event was live-streamed, revealing tensions behind the glamorous stage.
Nawat confronted Bosch for missing a sponsorship shoot to film with Telemundo. He was heard shouting,
“Stop. If anyone wants to continue the contest, sit down.”
Following this, Bosch left the ceremony, with several other contestants walking out in her support.
Nawat faced backlash after reportedly directing security to remove Bosch from the event. In a separate video, he appeared to exclude Mexico from returning, saying Bosch was "talking too much." This further escalated tensions around the pageant.
Bosch addressed the incident on TikTok, accusing Nawat of disrespect.
This incident highlights that even high-profile beauty events can have intense disputes behind the scenes, underscoring the importance of respect among participants.
