Direct answer: The Miss Universe 2025 event and surrounding coverage include final results, reports of a high-profile dispute involving Mexico’s Fatima Bosch, and multiple developments around the pageant’s logistics and broadcasts. Based on recent reporting up to today, here’s what happened:
- Scandal at a pre-pageant event: A heated exchange occurred between Mexico’s contestant Fatima Bosch and Nawat Itsaragrisil, the Miss Universe executive director. Reports describe him publicly reprimanding Bosch and calling her “dumb,” which prompted a mass walkout by several contestants in solidarity with Bosch. This incident generated widespread criticism on social media and in entertainment news outlets. The controversy dominated in-pageant coverage on November 4–5, 2025. [sources referencing the incident and walkouts include major outlets covering the event around these dates]
- Contestant walkouts and backlash: Following the confrontation, multiple contestants left the room in protest, leading to significant social media discourse and a reputational impact for the Miss Universe organization. This development was reported by several entertainment news outlets and discussed in follow-up statements from various parties involved. [coverage from November 4–5, 2025]
- Event logistics and timing: The 2025 Miss Universe pageant was scheduled to take place in Thailand, with preliminary activities in Bangkok region locations such as Nonthaburi. The finals were planned for November 21, 2025 local time, with North American airings around November 20, 2025. The pageant’s venue and dates were confirmed in early 2025, and broadcast arrangements had been announced by the organization. [official announcements and press coverage from 2025]
- Finalist results and placements: As with most Miss Universe events, national preliminaries determined entrants, leading to a final set of placements. National pageants (e.g., Miss Universe Thailand) crowned their own winners and runners-up who would advance to the international Miss Universe competition. The international event typically lists a winner, runners-up, and a series of semifinalists. The specifics for 2025 placements were reported in contemporary coverage, with ongoing updates as the pageant progressed. [context from national pageants and Miss Universe 2025 coverage]
