Miss Mexico has broken silence after heated exchange with Miss Universe pageant executive.
According to People, a heated exchange between Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch and pageant executive Nawat Itsaragrisil during a pre-pageant event in Thailand was captured on a livestream, sparking widespread backlash and condemnation.
In the livestream Itsaragrisil could be seen asking Miss Universe contestants to promote the host country and to be careful as they are in Thailand and in a game.
He then singled out Miss Mexico for allegedly refusing to partake in a photo shoot that contestants were supposed to share on social media and claimed that she was following orders from Mexico’s pageant director and was not posting on her own.
Upon Bosch’s refusal of the allegation, he said he only asked this because he got a “report” and kept claiming that she is following her country’s pageant director and called her a “dummy.”
The video also showed numerous Miss Universe contestants walking out of the event after the heated argument and insult of Miss Mexico.
Later, Itsaragrisil issued an apology from “everyone” who felt bad and uncomfortable.
Bosch also called out a pageant executive in a video shared by pageantry_com and tgpc_official on Instagram.
The 25-year-old said, “Your director is not respectful. He called me dumb. I think that's not fair because I am here. I do everything okay. I don't mess with anyone. I just try to be kind. I think that the world needs to see this because we are empowered women and this is a platform for our voice."
“I have a purpose, so many things to say, so many things to do. We're in the 21st century, and I'm not a doll to be made up, styled and dressed up. I came here to be voice for all the woman and girls who fight for causes. And I want to tell my country that it was fully to committed to this from day one,” she added in another interview.
Furthermore, Miss Universe final is all set to take place in November 21, in Thailand.
