“Leaned On The Victim Narrative”: Miss Universe 2025 Faces Backlash Over Her Victory And Speech

Controversy surrounding the 2025 Miss Universe Pageant has been intensifying since composer Omar Harfouch, an official Miss Universe judge, resigned on November 18, just three days before the competition’s finals, EW reported. What he posted on social media sent shockwaves through the pageant world.

Harfouch claimed he discovered that the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) had formed an “impromptu jury” to select 30 finalists from 136 countries before they even competed.
