Miss Universe Results Spark Controversy After Winner Walked Out On Organizers

The kind of thing you have to look at twice before you believe it.

Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch has officially been crowned the new Miss Universe in the highly coveted 2025 beauty pageant.

On Friday, November 21, the 25-year-old contestant bested 120 others for the title in one of the most scandalous pageant seasons of all time.

Her win has sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with some celebrating her achievement while others expressed displeasure in light of recent controversies.

“The biggest cooking show in pageant history,” mocked one user online.

Miss Universe, often dubbed the ‘Super Bowl of beauty pageants,’ draws millions of viewers each year.

Thailand’s Praveenar Singh placed as first runner-up, while Venezuela’s Vanessa Pulgarin claimed second runner-up.

The Philippines’ Ahtisa Manalo finished as third runner-up, and Côte d’Ivoire’s Olivia Yacé placed fourth.

Earlier, the newly crowned Fátima Bosch had walked out of a pre-pageant event following controversial comments by an official from this year’s host nation, Thailand.
