A shocking moment at Miss Universe Thailand 2025 saw contestants stage a mass walkout after Executive Director Navot Etser Grisel publicly insulted Miss Mexico, Fatima Bouch, calling her a “dummy” and trying to silence her forcibly.
💥 Fatima Bouch stood her ground, saying: “You don’t know how to respect a woman, especially one representing her country.”
Other contestants, including current Miss Universe Victoria Certhiolvig, joined Bouch in protest, sparking a global wave of outrage as videos went viral on social media.
⚡ In response, Miss Universe President Raul Rocha Cantu removed Grisel from the event, appointing Mario Bucaro as the new CEO to ensure fair conduct ahead of the grand finale on November 20, 2025
